Wow, first of all, thanks for the article. Never realized that the special 'It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown' was only played once. I grew up watching the copy my parents taped from the premeire, with the "brought to you by SHELL GASOLINE!" ads tacked in. (and something about the energizer bunny, if I recall correctly)
Crazy how they don't play it anymore. The voice actors seem to have a feel for what they're saying (I think it's most evident in Peppermint Patty), and David Benoit doesn't go outright emulating Guaraldi's style most of the time(how he does it now just irritates me).
But yeah.. all in all it's better 'cause it's a lot more than just kids phonetically reading comic strips.
Now, A Pinky and a Brain Christmas.... I think I'm going to cry just thinking about it..... fjord. It's criminal that it doesn't air.. it's billions of times better than what the WB played this year, 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer'... which is so poorly done it'll make any scrooge instantly weep. It's so bad even calling it a 'Misfit' Christmas Special would be giving it too much recognition, if only by acknowledging it's existence. Agh.
James Brown died. Ouch. But let's all remain funky and have a good day, X-Mas or otherwise.
