Charlie Brown's Xmas specials - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

did anyone catch the new one "I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown"? It certainly does not compare to the original classic (but outside of The Grinch, Rudolph, Frosty and a few others that are established classics... what are even in the same league with the original?).

Rerun is a very cute character and while I don't remember him being used much in the past, was a very worthy leading character. Nothing groundbreaking, but a huge change of pace compared to most of the dreck posing as "Family Entertainment" nowadays (I'm 24 and don't have any kids, so I'm not someone who complains about not enough family-oriented things on tv. But most of the stuff for todays kids just doesn't have the quality of what kids my age, and what people older than me, watched as kids.... even my 67 and 68 year old parents enjoyed this special)

Theres no such word as X-mas

Bing Crosby, never sang White X-mas, I've never heard one single caroler sing We Wish You A Merry X-mas nor does John Lennon & Yoko Ono sing Happy X-Mas(War Is Over) even though thats how it's labeled on the record.

You need some sugar. You seem a bit bitter.

touchy touchy. What's your problem?

Why not agree or disagree with what I stated, not the fact that I said Xmas (AND I ALSO SAID "CHRISTMAS" TOO!!! did you notice that? did you? did you? did you?)
