How the Creator of 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' Got the Gospel Past CBS Execs

Even back then there were people trying to take God out of Christmas. In 2018 they will still be fighting the fight. We can't ever forget that just because for now one of the good guys is in office.

I'm curious why they said they couldn't read from the bible on national television.

They are not the government. So why not?

[TXBlair]

I’m always so pleased (and surprised!) that A Charlie Brown Christmas still airs in its original format. It’s perfect!

I saw “the making of” and some were concerned that cartoon characters reading scripture would come off as blasphemous.

I agree, people were quoting from the Bible all the time on television during that era.

Odd retake.

[bagster]

I believe they might say that publically, but I suspect other motives.

It sounds like the network boss (Mendelson) was against it but the Coca Cola guy was for it.

I question Mr. Mendelson's motives.

On the QT and very hush-hush.

[bagster]

Yea, come to think of it. What about "The Little Drummer Boy." That was puppets.

Excellent point.

I don’t doubt it. Jewish descent leftists abound in Hollyweird.

I work with one who literally collapsed her immune system after President Trump was elected. She and her tree hugger husband (who works for an offshoot of the EPA) took their teen girls to the protest march last January with pre-made (by Soros) signs saying Black Lives Matter, No human is illegal etc etc. She put photos of this on her pompous, self aggrandizing “holiday brochure” that she gives out to everyone.

She also closes her eyes a lot when she talks, refers to herself in the third person and always, ALWAYS replies to ALL in emails.

[wita]

Thanks, I can’t remember ever having seen it.

[bagster]

Haha. Well, I wasn't gonna say the Jew word but yea, I think you nailed it.

Goot lawd. Working around those types is hard. Cause you can't tell them what you really think or a riot would break out. I feel your pain, goodman.

[bagster]

p.s. What is CSEU?

[AbolishCSEU]

The CIO is a forty something conservative (not as conservative as I am) pubbie who is married to a Jewess. They had some interesting conversations. Mrs. Lib wanted to know why they weren’t finding more dirt on TRUMP!!! IOW Stop picking on Hillary!!!

I’m sure she and her hub voted for Jill Stein, though.

[bagster]

Well, it is interesting to pick the brains of the zombies. They got some wild ideas, that's for sure.

Every time I do it, I end up laughing my anus off in their face. I have a knack for pissing them off SO MUCH.

Child Support Enforcement Unit. Fathers (especially white, blue collar middle class) are being impoverished as indentured servants to their ex wives, particularly in BLUE states for 21 years and beyond. Taxation without representation and debtor’s prison are alive and well.

Watch that scene. Watch it again. Yeah, do it.

Notice anything?

Linus stands there by himself on the stage. The spotlight falls upon him. He begins reciting from Luke.

And then Linus gets to the part where it reads "Fear not."

The only... the ONLY... the ONLY moment ever in the half-century of the Peanuts franchise - the comic strip, the TV specials, the movies, all of it - that Linus lets go of his blanket. The same blanket that he holds onto for safety and security.

And Linus lets it drop to the stage floor when he speaks "Fear not" from the Bible.

It's something so subtle that most have never noticed it.

[bagster]

Ahh. Okay. Yea I was on the hook for a while there. My ex actually had mercy after a few years and released me from bondage. But for a while there, it was tough. There is no justice in the family courts. It's a whole racket. And dad gets boned.

full disclosure. I thought you misspelled SEIU.

[OrangeHoof]

I'm curious why they said they couldn't read from the bible on national television.

Because most of the TV execs back then were Jews. What they meant was you couldn't read from the New Testament back then without offending the Jews.

[bkopto]

Today’s Hollywood would never allow “A Charlie Brown Christmas “ to be made, much less to be run on national TV.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas “ should be seen for what it is: an artifact of a country and culture that has long disappeared, vanquished by satanic leftism.

[bagster]

That’s what I figured, OrangeHoof.
