No Peanuts specials on broadcast TV anymore

To be honest, I never really "got" Peanuts. I love the Vince Guaraldi Trio but the animation is nothing special and most of the characters are all pretty much assholes, save for Charlie.

I think it's more the nostalgia aspect for us. All the prior years we would make a family "event" out of all the specials coming on. Make popcorn, cookies, cocoa, etc. and watch it on regular TV so we had to sit through the commercials like when we were kids.

I 100% agree with you on the quality...it completely blows on TV and the Peanuts were never my favorites.
