Pros: An endearing and relevant story Cons: The Peanuts Christmas stories have never equalled the first one
Bad fortune always manages to find its way to Charlie Brown. When he tries to do right and fails, his peers love to remind him he is a blockhead. For over 40 years, though, he's been the subject of a number of TV specials and movies. The first of the TV ...
Pros: A classic film over 35 years old and certainly not dated Cons: a perfect film
I probably watched this half hour show the first time it was on television. It was 1965 and I was two years old. I can't believe I just told you my age. I have watched this half hour special at least thirty times. I think that says much about the film....
Pros: timeless story, good animation Cons: no extras on the DVD
There are certain traditions that carry through for years and years. When I was little, I looked forward to watching A Charlie Brown Christmas eash holiday season and eagerly waited to see it in the television listings. Now we don't have to ...
If you're old enough to remember a time without videos and DVDs, then you're probably old enough to remember how special it was when your favorite movies came on television. Unlike now, when you can pop a favorite film or television show into your player ...
Pros: A classic work with a strong message and witty humor that still works today. Cons: An overpriced and bare bones disc shows Paramount's naked greed.
Consider Christmas from a child's point of view, the 800 pound gorilla of the holidays. Two weeks off from school, a mountain of free toys, snow (potentially), nearly unlimited candy, and cartoons during prime time. There's a reason that Christmas comes ...
Pros: Peanuts! Classic scenes and great music Cons: Are you kidding? It's the Peanuts gang!!!
...You're the Charlie Browniest! --Linus, A Charlie Brown Christmas
Growing up, I always loved holidays. Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving...and of course, Christmas. And with those holidays, came the holiday TV specials. Easter...
Pros: heart-warming classic Cons: only 25 minutes long
Ah, the first day of summer has finally arrived. Time for blissful days swimming under the noonday sun and nights roasting marshmallows underneath the astonishing array of stars. Yes, the season blooms full of promise. But after a month of hundred-degree...
Pros: Gentle reminder that the "X" in Xmas stands for "Christ." Cons: None. Absolutely flawless Christmas special.
Charlie Brown Christmas is just one of those things that I've got to watch every year. I can't believe it's still going strong after 35 years, and this show always makes me miss the sheer brilliance of Charles Schultz. He's been dead almost a year...
Pros: no Santa Clause bits sticks to things kids would do around the holiday Cons: bad VA's in the first, can't make up it's mind on the 2nd.

Pros: Warm message, cute humor, music score Cons: Too short
Every Christmas time around December, TV stations clog the air with millions of specials, all designed to tell us the real meaning of Christmas. Mostly, these specials are just designed for networks to cash in on the Christmas season. It seems...

With Christmas only days away, I wanted to give you another movie that is a must see for any child or adult this Christmas season. Right now I am going to talk about my husband’s all time favorite Christmas move, A Charlie Brown Christmas. ...
What a magnificent commentary on humanity Charles Schulz produced in the classic, Charlie Brown Christmas. The "Peanuts" have for decades characterized reality in ways that teach us more about ourselves and make us laugh at the same time. The...
Pros: Perfectly captures the spirit of both the holiday and the comic strip Cons: You don't like this?? All you get is a rock!!
In terms of animation, it's no great shakes--just a kid on a stage, reciting a Bible story. But for me, Linus telling the tale of Christ's birth is the most affecting scene of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (airing on ABC Dec. 16 at 8 p.m.). Even as...
Pros: Is perfection too weak a word? Cons: Religious aspects may be unappealing to some, but that's a personal choice.
On Christmas morning, I used moan and groan about the fact that we weren't allowed to open our presents until my parents woke up. I sit in front of the Christmas tree eyeing the packages hungrily, while the seconds ticked by at the pace of a ...
Pros: traditional family fare with positive messages, great musical score with Vince Guaraldi Cons: none unless you hate Snoopy (isn't that a crime? lol)
Yes, I am getting ready for Christmas already, and as I mentioned in my previous review , about "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown", it simply is not Christmas without certain shows to watch to brighten the season. While "I want a dog fotr ...
