That show is still great. Wish someone would start shows like that again. It would be nice....
Great story. Thanks.

I still look forward to watching this every year.
Not kidding, when it came out, I was in my last year of college, leading to USAF Pilot Training, followed by a tour in Thailand, six months of concentrated training in a new airplane following the overseas, followed by five years in Alaska, also considered an overseas tour. What TV there was, wasn’t much. Spent the next year in training for a new job, followed by another overseas tour in Greece. The muppets was it for TV in Greece.
It shows every year. It is a charming thirty minutes with a powerful message
I highly recommend it for your viewing.
It was nice because, without commercials, it is very short.
The soundtrack is one of my favorites, and just hearing it can bring me back.
The feature is very simple, but as other people have opined, it is a piece of culture frozen in time.
There is something wonderful about hearing Gospel in a children's cartoon.
I did notice something else which I remember hearing a lot as a kid, that they would never allow into a cartoon today, where Lucy has this dialog with Linus:
Lucy: Memorize these lines, so you can recite them on cue.
Linus: This is ridiculous! I can’t memorize something like this so quickly! Why should I be put through such agony? Give me one good reason why I should have to memorize this! (Linus hugs blanket tight)
Lucy: I’ll give you five good reasons: (Lucy mechanically makes fist) One, two, three, four, five!
Linus: Those are good reasons. Christmas is not only getting too commercial, it’s getting too dangerous.
I haven’t seen it in a while. I’m glad it hasn’t changed!
It made me laugh...brought back childhood memories!
