No Great Pumpkin on ABC this year

Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any more worse. ABC is not airing It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown for the first time since its debut in 1966.

Only streaming on Apple+

We used to have it on our DVR but our DVR ended up crashing and we lost a lot of our programming on it so we can't be recorded again until like next year.

I think I'm just going to buy a copy of it on DVD

54 years is a remarkably long run for an annual show.

Are they still showing The Grinch every year?

TBS always runs the Grinch every year followed by the Wizard of Oz.

Things were so much simpler when you had your choice of the three majors and PBS, but they were much more restricting.

We can now watch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” in March if we so desire.

But we had a hard drive crashed we lost all our programming on it. I guess I'll just buy a DVD of it.

But at least we still have a Christmas story on 24 hours every Christmas on TNT and TBS
