It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

They showed it tonight on ABC, a staple for quite a number of years now (copyright 1966). I was a bit upset, though. The TV versions of anything are hardly as good as the originals, and it was no exception this time. They totally blew off Charlie Brown's missed football kick, which is just not right! Not only that, but they didn't add Snoopy dancing with Schroeder's piano at the Halloween party. They did have the extended trick-or-treat scene, though. But big whoop. I'm just glad that they didn't cut Sally's "fury and a woman scorned" scene, which I've had memorized since I was at least Sally's age.
