A thought for today
I have seen, in recent years, many folks post that “Peanuts” should be removed from the newspaper to make room for newer, non-rerun strips. But I have never heard anyone say that A Charlie Brown Christmas should be removed from the TV schedule to make room for newer, non-rerun TV. …
What’s coming in 2011

Great Pumpkin tonight
Just a quick reminder to set your VCR, your DVR, your DVD-recorder, or your eyeballs for eight o’clock tonight for the season’s first airing of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown – and to repeat the same tomorrow for airing #2.
A DVD Valentine, an ultimate deluxe set, and a shrinkwrap note
A Charlie Brown Valentine is coming (well, returning) to DVD in December, paired with Someday You’ll Find Her, Charlie Brown. Peanuts video maven Scott McGuire has pointed out that the release does not bear the “Remastered Deluxe Edition” banner that has come on most releases in the line, which reflects …
