DVR ALERT! Tonight is this season's first showing of It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown at 8pm ET/PT on ABC! It will also air next Friday, October 26th at 8pm ET/PT along with You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown. Watch it both times! Then watch it on DVD! Then replay it in your head!
In honor of the special's airing, I present another Peanuts special that isn't Halloween-related, but it's pretty close. It's Magic, Charlie Brown first aired April 28, 1981, and features Snoopy picking up magic as a new hobby, causing trouble for Charlie Brown. Snoopy turns ol' Chuck invisible and can't change him back! Magic run amok--that's pretty scary!
Warner Bros. Home Video, which currently owns the home video distribution rights to the Peanuts specials, agrees with me. This special is currently featured as a bonus on the latest edition of Great Pumpkin on DVD.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up. Even though I already have Great Pumpkin on DVD, there's something about watching the network broadcast. Too bad they're no longer sponsored by Dolly Madison, makers of neat to eat treats. Loved those commercials.
It's Magic, Charlie Brown is also featured on "Peanuts: The Emmy Honored Collection" DVD set from three years ago.
