Good Grief! "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

TV-G

Starring Charlie Brown, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Snoopy

Directed by Bill Melendez

The Story:

It's Halloween time again! Sally is torn between going out for tricks or treats with everyone else, or sitting in the most sincere pumpkin patch around with Linus, awaiting the arrival of The Great Pumpkin. Meanwhile, Snoopy relives the drama of World War I fighting The Red Baron.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with Halloween, but what can you do?

So, this classic is nearing 50 years airing every year at this time.

I'm pretty sure that nobody hasn't seen this at least once in their lifetime.

It's the first true sign that fall is upon us, and we begin that crazy calendar countdown to the even better Charlie Brown Christmas special.

:) 

Every year, I want to go as Charlie Brown and cut up a white sheet with about 80 eye holes in it.

Plus, I wonder about all the evil parents that actually have rocks in the candy bowl to hand to children.

Tough crowd!

Final Grade: A

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I actually need to buy a new copy as the one I have has several scratches that cause too much skipping/freezing.  Pesky kids. ;)
