It’s not about ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’, but rather the whole Charlie Brown concept as a cartoon.
As a kid I found the television presentation of Charlie Brown to be one of the most annoying cartoons I had seen. As an adult I continued to see the presentations in that light.
I know a lot of people like it. That’s okay. I’m mostly roasting them here. I don’t mind you taking the opposite position. I’m glad you enjoy it.
I didn’t care about it as a kid that much, but I like it now for the nostalgia factor :)
That’s okay... I feel the same way about “Dora the Explorer”. But that’s probably because I’m a xenophobic racist.
I can see how the overall concept of the Charlie Brown cartoons can be grating. The whole idea of everybody relentlessly abusing Charlie (including his disloyal dog) for kicks is way overdone sometimes... often to the point of being uncomfortable.
But “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is different. As far as Christmas specials go, it’s perfection for me. Linus’ speech on the meaning of Christmas still gets me every time.
