Charlie Brown gets the Boot off Network TV

Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Wed Oct 21 20:49:38 2020

For the first time in 54 years, the highly popular "A Charlie Brown Christmas" will not be shown on network TV this season. It was bumped down to some obscure outlet known as Apple TV. For decades it was part of the holiday season programming rotation (Rudolph, Grinch, Frosty etc.) but no more. For the last few years it was shown more than once during the season, indicating that the popularity was there, and the sponsors made $$$. But no more.
Pure speculation on my part, it wouldn't suprise me that some elements of the ultra left put the squeeze on network suits a/c the use of the word "Christmas" and Linus' reading of the biblical passage about the real meaning of Christmas contained within that got the show tossed.
If true about the pressure, we've sunk to a new low. Its a damn shame.
