We review 1966's It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which spends surprisingly little time beating up on Charlie Brown
Topics of discussion include:
- Lucy's unchecked power;
- the briefest suggestion of functional sibling relationships;
- denominational divisions;
- the existence or non-existence of a restaurant called "Broccoli Hut";
- gauntlets of scolding;
- the flattering soft focus lens of childhood nostalgia;
- 45 minutes of a dog being shot at
It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is available for your home viewing on iTunes, Amazon Instant, YouTube, and DVD.
