Why does ABC keep showing "A Charlie Brown Christmas" With Scenes Edited Out? - Page 4 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I hate when they do that which is why I don't like watching any of the classic Peanuts specials on commercial TV. I think it's stupid that they do this b/c it's already been edited for television. Um... it was made for television in the first place so it's only natural that they would make time for commercials.

I just ran my DVD of A Charlie Brown Christmas and its running time was 25 minutes. The reason why it's run an hour these days is simply to cram in

MORE COMMERCIALS

There will be a special place in Gehenna for these buffoons!

As I mentioned before, ACBXmas ran 25 minutes, in order to run it intact it has to be run in an hour-long format. There is a name for people who endure the S

itload of commercials to see this show,

MASOCHISTS!

Could you please use more smileys in your posts? It seems you don't quite drive your point home enough.
