A lump of coal to Apple re: Charlie Brown

Good Grief! "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" won't air on
network TV this year

Beloved classic will air on Apple TV+

This is the second time since 1966, more than five decades ago, that the
beloved classic won't be available as part of ABC programming.

Before you shout "good grief," Apple TV+ is planning to air the special
and make it available to nonsubscribers for free for a limited time.

Apple TV+ will provide special free windows for nonsubscribers to stream
the iconic holiday specials on the following dates:

"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" - Oct. 28-31
"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" - Nov. 23-27
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" - Dec. 22-25

==================

The kind of good news is the live stage show is back and
is touring the country. I think... The web page is a mess...

That should say "won't be available as part of over-the-air programming" -- it ran on CBS annually for its first few decades (and ran on PBS the past two years).
