Plus, he’s not exactly a “Chopped Junior” contender.
The show was a staple of internet TV until recently, when Apple TV bought the broadcast rights.
“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” will air on Nov. 21, 2021, at 7:30 p.m.
ET (viaCheatSheet).
Why is Charlie Brown the only one with Thanksgiving plans?
Charlie’s best friend, Linus, comes to help out with the food prep.
Charlie, sister Sally, and the guests hop in the station wagon, and off they go.
So let’s sum up.
And, in the midst of all this, the adult Browns are totally unaware.
They don’t even go downstairs when they hear popcorn popping.
(Why do the Browns have all that bread and seven toasters, anyway?)
When supper is served, Peppermint Patty is outraged: She was expecting the traditional turkey dinner.
Then, Linus, ever the gang’s moral center, reminds everyone of the importance of thankfulness.
But let’s rethink this menu for a minute.
Remember, the children are only about 5 or 6 years old.
Most kids would be thrilled to have a plate of popcorn and jelly beans instead.
Oh, and let’s not forget that Snoopy serves ice cream sundaes afterward.
Who needs pumpkin pie?
Franklin is an awkward addition
Franklin Armstrong was a groundbreaking character when he debuted in 1968.
Franklin is a bland personality, and his appearances in the TV specials are almost an afterthought.
In “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” Franklin is invited to Charlie Brown’s place by Peppermint Patty.
What happened to Lucy?
She can take charge at a Halloween party one minute and offer advice as a self-employed psychiatrist the next.
She even has her tender moments, believe it or not.
We can also assume that the Van Pelts eat their own holiday meal without Linus.
What’s with Snoopy’s dinner?
Man’s best friend?
Pet lovers might wince at seeing a dog eating so much people food.
Then there’s Woodstock.
He may be sweet and occasionally misdirected, but consider this: He’s a bird … eating turkey.
Shouldn’t someone tell him that he’s dining on a distant relative?
They finally decided that the colonists might be useful in helping them defeat their rivals, the Narragansetts.
