Another piece of the continuing deconstruction of American culture. CBS resisted Linus telling the Gospel Nativity Story from the beginning, until Charles Schultz dug his heels in. Five and a half decades later it looks as if the secular deconstructionists have gotten their way.

This makes me very sad. There is a war on innocence.

To my knowledge it’s the only Christmas special that actually tells us why we have Christmas.

That’s okay...have them downloaded.
Along with many of the shows they attempt to ignore and pretend no longer exist?

Christmas morning at our house starts with Mimosas, eggnog, and the theme music to A Charlie Brown Christmas.
We all grew up with it - a real sense of comfort.

Nobody watches network television anymore. Apple TV currently has streaming rights for the Peanuts holiday specials.
Everything can be streamed on demand. Parents of young children have the responsibility to cut their cable and subscribe to streaming services like Apple TV (available on Roku by the way) and moderate the content for their children accordingly.

Five and a half decades later it looks as if the secular deconstructionists have gotten their way. This is just rights holders maximizing revenue to deliver value to shareholders. Plus the way they've padded 35 minutes of ads into a 25 minute cartoon in recent years have made it all but unwatchable in broadcast.

In 2020, Apple TV+ procured the rights to the Peanuts holiday specials and will offer them on the streaming service. The company bought the rights to the specials.
The company will air them on its own service, for its customers.
As they have every right to do.
Well, I don't have Apple TV so I won't get to see it this year.
But folks, this is just normal business. Nothing untoward about it. Sad, though.

They’re on a stream service. So they’re not gone. It’s an evolving TV landscape. The 5 broadcast networks are a negligible part of the market, and frankly unimportant most of the time. Really on a streaming service you’re freed from network scheduling and limited viewing capabilities. You can watch them over and over any time.

A Charlie Brown Christmas will be broadcast on my TV in my home this year, just like it has every year that I've had it on Blu Ray or DVD.

I just now ordered a set of Peanuts Holiday disks. Charlie Brown and "It's a Wonderful Life" are important traditions to my Holiday spirit ❤.

There are no gay or transgender characters. What do you expect? Children must be taught the correct values today.

If you really, really want to see what we have lost in the 'culture wars', take this brief 59 seconds to watch
"CBS Season's Greetings ad 1966". Makes you wonder how we allowed the hate to overwhelm our comity of that era 54 years ago.

Glad I have the DVDs for the Halloween and Christmas specials. Feels good to actually own something they can’ttake away.
