What makes holidays special are the traditions that surround them. We celebrate the same way every year, with maybe just a little variation until those variations become tradition themselves. For children, it's exciting to recall what happens every year and enjoy it all over again, and for adults, these traditions evoke wonderful memories. Since 1966, part of the tradition of Halloween is watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown as Linus once again waits confidently for the Great Pumpkin to arrive at the local pumpkin patch. His annual disappointment doesn't shake his faith that it will happen next year. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown gets rocks in his trick-or-treat bag and Snoopy ends up giving Lucy dog germs in the bobbing for apples game.
Swedish producer Chetreo remixed portions of the Peanuts TV special using autotune to make a song about Halloween. It's guaranteed to take you back to the autumns of your childhood. (via Geeks Are Sexy)

And a POX on Apple for buying the rights to the Charlie Brown specials and only making them available to Apple TV subscribers. And yeah, I know they announce a couple dates when anyone can watch; screw that.
I second that POX, big bucks steamers will lock up everything and keep buying congress critters to keep everything out of public domain.
Just be thankful for Miss C providing quality time daily.
Schulz ( funny, I always thought it was Schultz) wrote that after it aired lots of people felt bad about the rocks and sent Charlie(Schulz) candy.
