"Talking TV: Is There Still Audience Faith In ‘The Great Pumpkin’?" (video) (https://vimeo.com/637202954)
TVNewsCheck's Michael Depp and LG Ads' Justin Fromm discuss whether children's specials like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which airs on PBS stations on Oct. 24, still have the power to draw audiences to linear TV in a streaming age.

(prefers not referring to certain "specials" such as this "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" as "children's specials")

^Agree! (I'd just call these "specials" or "animated specials".) Interesting video.

Although it's great that these 2 specials are on PBS, I think ABC made a mistake giving up on them.
