GhostGirl Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yes, many of us own this on video or DVD, but there's still something about watching on TV. I have fond memories of waiting for all the Christmas specials to be shown on TV, and this one was my favorite. So, grab your kiddies and cuddle up to watch Charlie Brown tonight on ABC tonight. http://media.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2006/nov/guaraldi/cdcover.jpg I heard a great story on NPR this morning about Vince Guaraldi's fantastic soundtrack.

circumstantial tree Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 There's one particular tune in the show that I really like. It's the one playing as Charlie and Linus are out looking for the Christmas tree.

GhostGirl Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 We own the soundtrack (and the movie on VHS, ladi ) along with several other Vince G. compilations. My son Stephen LOVES them, and we listen to them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 A little trivia for ya: The folks who did the voices of the characters in this show said that when they were recording, Jefferson Airplane was down the hall recording for their first(?) album.

Digital Man Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) I was just checking this show out (& the 'sequel', It's Christmas Again, Charlie Brown) online & noticed it's on ABC not CBS. ABC **not trying to step on your toes. I just wouldn't want anyone to miss one of the best Christmas specials out there.** Edited November 28, 2006 by Digital Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxt1990 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I just posted this in another thread... I just watched the CLASSIC Peanuts special Merry Christmas Charlie Brown with my kids. What fun and memories. WHat a GREAT jazz score by Vince Guaraldi. And how refreshing to hear the story of Christmas, religion and all, in the program - I remember even as a kid the little soliloqy by Linus about the meaning of Christmas. Nice.
