Charlie Brown Thanksgiving






Originally airing in 1973, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving has entertained many of us numerous times over the years. Next to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" this may be the the most popular of all the Charlie Brown holiday series specials. How many times have you seen it? I can probably state that I have only missed seeing it a handful of years.








What is it about this special that makes it so popular? Why do people watch it again and again? What do you like about it? In your post tell us why you like (or don't like) it. Is there one particular scene that you like? My favorite is Charlie, Linus and Snoopy in the kitchen fixing up the Feast!








Here is a video that should give you some inspiration as you write! Proofread!








By the way, I understand that it will air on Channel 13 at 8pm on Thanksgiving night!

I think the videos were great. I liked them all. I really liked the one at the end when snoop and the bird brought out the turkey. It was interesting.

I think Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was a very funny cartoon. they mentioned that Thanksgiving is a very important holiday because you should be thankful for what you have and most of all you can eat. I love that cartoon.

Franklin should have his own show. He was the best actor on the whole show. This is one of my favorite charlie browns. Charlie brown is one of my favorite cartoons. They can't touch Spongebob.

I like the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. It is another classic wherein Charlie and the gang teaches us a lesson about the holiday season. I enjoyed watching this in class. I hope we can do more things like this in the keyboarding class. It'd be cool if we could watch the Christmas Charlie Brown and more!

I had never seen it before. I thought it was really cute and a little funny at some parts. My favorite scene was probably the one where Snoopy and Woodstock eat the turkey and break the wishbone. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving. :)

Charlie Brown is a staple of the American culsture, bringing us many laughs and much joy over the year. I have only seen it three times, but it doesn't seem to age. As we get older, there is a small list of things that will remain constant. Among these are war, music, and Charlie Brown. Honestly, I like any scene with Woodstock.

I have always liked all the charlie brown series ever since i watched them when i was young. The cartoons are funny in some parts an they have good morales and such. My family and I usually watch them for every holiday there is. The scences with snoopy and woodstock are my favorite.

Unknown said...

This video is an original classic, that’s why I think everyone watches it. I don’t watch cartoons anymore but I will always love Charlie Brown. I enjoy watching Charlie Brown videos because their really entertaining. My favorite character is Marcie! I think that my favorite part in the video is when all the kids are in the car singing, it was so cute.

That was my first time seeing the Charlie Brown Christmas special. I thought it was pretty good. Snoopy is my favorite character. He is the coolest Peanut and is good at everything. The flying aces version is my favorite.
