The rich jerks at Apple are back at it again. Nobody is subscribe to their overrated streaming service to watch the Peanut holiday specials. It's a Good thing I own all these on DVD. The specials will probably be showing up on METV in a couple of years.

I wonder if they will show up on Metv this year at the last minute. I also recorded both specials off of PBS and I spliced in YouTube footage of the sponsor plugs from the specials that have been permanently edited out. I did it just so I can say I own the specials with the original sponsor plugs even though said finished product is a bit clunky. LOL!

METV is supposedly showing the Peanut movies in November. After Apple sees no one cares enough to subscribe to another expensive streaming service this year, they will probably start negotiating with METV come next year.

Yep, buy these on DVD while you can.

Surely MeTV has their eyes on these, judging from evidence this year.

As a small consolation prize, you can again watch the two Peanut movies December 24th, on METV.

The DVD has an interesting story about the making of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
