I love love love Charlie Brown animated cartoons, most especially the Christmas and Halloween programs. Great memories from childhood in the 60's!!!!!!

[@freedomring4813]

Yes the Christmas and Halloween episodes were great back in the day.

[@starmnsixty1209]

Dome of my very favorite memories. Sooo much better than the trash which passed for animation today. Was do dad when the strip ended, and Schultz passrd...

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

Terrific!!!

[@thomasdonlin5456]

I also think “What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?” is up there as well.

[@hankw69]

Upon Shultz' death many comic strips ran dedications to Peanuts. My favorite was Beetle Baily. The whole crew at Camp Swampy stood at attention, saluting as Snoopy flew over on his doghouse. I couldn't help but to tear up.

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

My other favorite comic strip was Nancy & Sluggo by Jerry Scott, you know, right after Ernie Bushmiller's death. May God rest Mr. Bushmiller's soul in cartoonists' heaven.

Oh I love that 😭

Great memory thanks for sharing!

[@kevinkonig879]

Oh my goodness, no year is complete without a Charlie Brown Christmas! Linus telling the true meaning of Christmas and the whole gang singing at the end always leaves me tore up!

Growing up as a young child in the 70's, Charlie Brown was a big part of the shows we would watch during the holidays. Snoopy was always my favorite, guess because I love dogs. Anyone who has ever watched this show knows the theme song so well played on the piano, you all know it. :)

[@shelleybleu4903]

1960s too.

[@clydecupples5602]

I remember watching all of the peanuts specials (the holiday ones) every year when I was a kid. Good times.

[@map3384]

Being a young kid in the early 70s was made special by the Charlie Brown specials on TV. I remember searching the TV guide for all the Christmas specials and writing them down on a calendar. VCR hadn’t been invented yet so if you missed them you were out of luck. I still and forever will watch them.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

We were probably the first in our suburban Fort Worth neighborhood to have one of those "new-fangled" VCR's in the later mid 70s when I was 13. It was a Panasonic branded VHS. It had analog channel selection, and a lot of mechanical moving parts. It also cost over $1500 in 1977 dollars, might have been nearly $2000. The last VCR's could be bought at Kroger for around $50.

[@Porsche996driver]

Remember searching TV Guide! I’d circle what I wanted to watch! Thanks for the memory ha!

[@davidphelps214]

@@MisterMikeTexas nowadays a person can't buy a vcr from a store, heck for a time there you couldn't even give one away! The only ones I see are from garage sales or flea markets, usually for 5-10 dollars, hopefully they work! I run across vhs tapes everywhere it seems, a lot of times 10-25 cents apiece, seems they have gone the way of the 8track tapes, now what to do with all of mine? Free, come & get them, LOL

The special time when coming in from "outside" with friends to sit in front of the set and watch a Peanuts special as a big event in my young life. Awesome!

[@starmnsixty1209]

A big part of childhood for so many of us, and a bittersweet memory of a world gone away... if it could only have lasted forever.

When I was a kid, my dad read the Sunday funnies to me every week. “Peanuts” was a favorite for both of us. Can still hear him chuckling over “Psychiatric Help 5 Cents” and Snoopy’s frequent bouts with the Red Baron. I miss my Dad.

[@noble604]

Snoopy had a whole story of his own set to music in “Snoopy and the Return of the Red Baron.” When my grandma used to get the Sunday newspaper, she’d give me the comic section... so many comics ... and she’d read her paper and I’d have my comics to laugh and keep me busy. Aw, such specisl times with your dad.

[@BuzzcutGtr]

I was born in 1966 -- had Charlie Brown on my walls, stuffies in my crib (later sheets on my bed), Avon shampoo, garbage can, and probably a lot of other CB merch I can't remember. Also had an LP of the Broadway cast of "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" -- due to which, I believed that snow came UP until I was about 6. Thanks, R.R.!!!! ❤

When my Dad, my brother,my mom, and I saw, What have we learned Charlie Brown. And when Linus did the Poem. In Flanders Field, When he heard the poem. He began to cry. Because he was a Vietnam Veteran. And he thought of all the friends who he met. And some of them did not come back. And it was the first time. I saw my dad cry. And even though he is gone. I still watch. What have we learned Charlie Brown?

@@starmnsixty1209 Selpyilgen If I am not mistaken, the T26E3 was essentially the Pershing prototypes that saw service at the very end of the war in Europe. One of the T26E4s, from my knowledge, became known as the Super Pershing after being deployed in Europe where it cannibalized some 80mm steel plate from Panther tanks, and gained its famed shape, and was destroyed at Kassel. That is the only T26 variant that could be classified as a Heavy Tank.

I remember the charlie brown tv specials,such as a charlie brown Christmas 🎄, it's a great pumpkin charlie brown, and a charlie brown Thanksgiving. I enjoyed these and other peanuts shows for many years.

[@trish5556]

I loved all the Charlie Brown specials, and the newspaper cartoons. I also remember my pastor in church referring to The Gospel According to Peanuts in his sermon around 1971. I am glad that my son, born in 1978, also had a chance to grow up with Charlie Brown.

[@joelfrombethlehem]

I still love the old Peanuts color comic strip in the Sunday newspaper in the early 1970s and A Charlie Brown Christmas is still one of my favorites. A few years ago I attended my nephew's wedding near Santa Rosa California and I flew into Charles M. Schultz-Sonoma County Airport and stayed at a hotel in town that had large plastic and fiberglass likenesses of some of the Peanuts characters throughout the hotel.

[@plaidmoon5642]

I always thought it was cool that Charles Schulz built a really nice ice skating rink in Santa Rosa in the 1960s and kept it open for decades even though it broke even at best. He didn't care about the money. He loved ice hockey and wanted someplace nearby where he could play in a league.

[@usedscar]

I had all the books and sat at our very 70s style kitchen bench eating ham sandwiches and reading the books day after day. I developed a love of reading through those books.

[@RJ-hx5nb]

Around 2018-ish, I celebrated Christmas with my friend Tony. His friend Judy had given him a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Sparse, with 1 red bauble. I just looked it up on Amazon, still there.

[@samanthab1923]

Awwww love that. I picked up a Peanuts Nativity set.

[@Porsche996driver]

Nice! Great gift idea! 💙

[@noble604]

I have one of those. It was in a box that someone threw out. It doesn’t work now but it originally played battery operated, Charlie Brown Christmas music from underneath.

[@orangehoof]

As a child of the 60s, I grew up with Peanuts. It was a wholesome strip that somehow let children enjoy their innocence while staying relevant to adult readers. He could be hip and topical while keeping everything child-friendly. He showed every comic strip creator after him how the genre should be done. I had about 20 Peanuts books I collected in my early teens and I gave them to my niece's children a few years ago and they just loved them. It's amazing the icons we grew up with that seem so much better than what kids have today.

[@starmnsixty1209]

That's the truth, Bob - that's the truth.

I’ll have to check around for my soft, yellow vinyl Peanuts lunchbox. My mom used to make me my lunches and send them in it when I didn’t buy lunch in the cafeteria and she’d tuck a note (“have a good day, Love Mommy”) in it. Those lunches in my Peanuts lunchbox were the highlight of my day! Special memories indeed!

A Charlie Brown Christmas… I think of my mother, watching this with her, hearing her chuckle, which almost never happened. Inconsequential to most, I suppose, this holiday program gave the two of us a gentle time of happy…together.

[@starmnsixty1209]

That's a really nice special memory, Cheryl. My own mom has been gone 25 years next week - she always liked the "Peanuts" gang, too.

[@kevinmurray5313]

Oh I miss the peanuts! I was born in 64 so was a perfect time for viewing Charlie Brown. I remember reading the Sunday funnies peanuts comics. Sunday was my favorite because the funnies we're in COLOR. I wish that I would have saved all the comics from then. Wow and we don't even have newspaper's any more.. I will always have a special place in my heart for the peanuts... A huge thank you to recalection road for another amazing video. If you have not watched recalection road before I encourage you to look at more videos as they are amazing.

[@tomklock568]

My all time favorite! I was so like Charlie Brown that my nickname became "Chuck!" Thanks so much.

[@footballlvnlady]

Charlie Brown reminds me of a simpler more wholesome time in America! I am so happy that it is still shown at the holidays for many generations to enjoy!

[@JamesKingsleyQPatriotOrg]

Schulz was huge in my world. When I was 14 I visited the Redwood Empire Ice Arena and got to see him play some broom hockey.. He was my first real HERO and I will never forget the amazing philosophies he brought into my life.

[@starmnsixty1209]

Being in the East, I never got to visit the Redwood Ice Arena, or even to see Schultz in person - but he had to have been one of my favorite people in the world. I didn't realize he had given so much of fortune to charities. A very special person.

[@Sacto1654]

_Peanuts_ became surprisingly popular in Japan, probably because the comic strip style Charles Schulz used for most of his career on the daily strips almost the same _4-koma_ format used by Japanese manga artists. There are still _Peanuts_ themed stores in Japan even now.

[@gregtheredneck1715]

My first decade of life was the 1970s and every December I awaited the A Charlie Brown Christmas to be played with great anticipation from 1974 till 1979. It was the official beginning to the Christmas season. We usually put our tree up around the time it usually played on television. My official letter to Santa was mailed around then too. The characters that Charles Schultz created will forever be associated with Christmas for me.

I remember seeing the original airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas. I was 10. Later I started collecting Peanuts comics that were put in paperback books as collections. I even owned one or two that were done in color. I own the whole Holiday Season DVD collection, and watch them every year, from Halloween to Christmas.

[@starmnsixty1209]

I think Snoopy versus the Red Baron is one of the cor paperbacks. Think there were some hardback editions of the strips as well from like the Weekly World Readers.

[@markhernden9472]

I've always loved the jazzy "Peanuts Theme" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

When I was a kid in the 60s I would go to the department store with my mother and bug her for one of the small Peanuts cartoon books. I had quite a collection and still have the one in Spanish. I think Charles Schulz helped me learn how to read.

Love ❤ everything Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang! My favorite is the movie when Snoopy ran away to find his first owner. If I remember correctly, the little girl was sick and in the hospital. And, who can forget the teacher speaking through the speaker? All the adults voices were like that the few times they were in the storyline.

[@starmnsixty1209]

I sure recall this - Snoopy, Come Home. Saw it in theater when it was new. Your memory is good;, Snoopy's first owner was a little girl named Lila. This picture was so melancholy, it's only peanuts film that wasn't successful at the box office, I believe. Just too sad 😭.

Pig Pen, Schroder banging out everything from jazz numbers and World War I sing-alongs on his piano, Lucy and her psychiatrist stand, Snoopy roaming the French Countryside after being shot down in his Sopwith Camel, and of course Charlie Brown getting a bag full of rocks on Halloween. In the early comic books, Snoopy spoke through thought bubbles and he used to call Charlie Brown the round headed kid. Peanuts was an integral part of my childhood. What's not to love.

As you might imagine, I adore Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang. Why? Because “they” are “us”! I use Lucy’s name because I was a psych nurse and a life coach before I retired.

There are some absolutely laugh out loud story lines in the Peanuts gallery over the course of 5 decades. Snoopy being summoned to appear before the "Head Beagle" and running off without saying good-bye. Peppermint Patty wanting to skate in some figure-skating championship with Snoopy as her partner and then Charlie Brown's dad giving her a boy's haircut because he didn't know she was a girl. Linus trusting that the great pumpkin will appear in the most sincere pumpkin patch and always missing "him." It was just a great comic strip with a lot of memories and good clean fun and still quote them from time to time as well. Thanks very much for posting this video as well

All of the newspapers have Peanuts from 1974. When I was little, I had some the Peanuts books. There were some Peanuts movies. Charlie is awesome.

I think the soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas is the best TV cartoon special soundtrack ever!
