Actually, The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown has been edited since its been on ABC. The Snoopy sequence is actually better intwined with the rest of the special.

He starts out piloting his Sopwith camel. Gets shot and crashes. Goes through the bushes….Goes to an imaginary Paris Bar I believe…then arrives at the main party where he kisses lucy…gets kicked out and then ends up at the end in the Pumpkin Patch.

Linus stays out there all night after Sally left him. Lucy brings him in. takes his shoes off and puts him to bed. Most sisterly thing she’s done..

In reply to Not Without. No no, it didn't get just half a star. Chelsea gives movies and EXTRA half star for nostalgia. Haha.

Another great podcast, Morgan and Chelsea, and great job guest-hosting, Alissa! You truly are the “Peanuts” expert on the site. Guest-hosting one of these podcasts must be like the most amazing thing ever; I’d love to do it sometime, lol!

I’ve never actually seen any of these “Peanuts” shorts. And the only “Peanuts” film I’ve seen is “Snoopy, Come Home”. But I am a huge fan of “Peanuts” and have read and followed the strip for years; I even remember reading “Peanuts” before the year 2000, when the author passed away and that tribute strip was made.

I also did read that “Turbo”-related article that Alissa was talking about and somewhat agree with what the writers were saying.

For Christmas, do you think you guys can review the Arthur Christmas movie? Not the Aardman movie, “Arthur Christmas”, but “Arthur’s Perfect Christmas” based on the popular “Arthur” TV series based on Marc Brown’s books. Because I’m sure many of us are fans of “Arthur” or have been at one point or another.

P.S. I called the voicemail # about two weeks ago and left my question as a voicemail message. I just want to make sure that it actually went through, because I have a suspicion that I dialed the wrong number, lol. Can someone confirm if it went through? Thanks!

Oh, and a “We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story” review would be amazing!

They did an animated version of The Broadway Musical. It is quite good. It’s an abridged version of the musical.

In reply to Not Without. How bizarre. This has been happening since episode 47. I'll post the episode, then a few hours later, it will stop working on our site, but will continue working every else. I'll definitely have to investigate. Thanks for the heads up. :)

In reply to Braden. Well, actually this was our 53rd episode. I was up late doing it and didn't realize I put the wrong date until I woke up and looked at it again. DOH >_<

You guys should make your 53rd episode Frozen because it’s the 53rd Disney film. But I guess thats kinda far away from now.
