Now, for just the second time since its release, the Great Pumpkin will be not be coming to television's pumpkin patches.
In a partnership with the streamer, PBS was allowed to air the specials in 2021. But this year, PBS no longer has the rights, and confirmed that it won't be airing the Halloween show. Regretfully, PBS does not have the rights to distribute the Peanuts specials this year. We’ll all have to watch for the Great Pumpkin in a different pumpkin patch this Halloween.So this fall — as was the case in 2020 — Apple TV+ is the only place where you can watch Linus Van Pelt await the arrival of the Great Pumpkin.that will provide free windows for nonsubscribers to stream the iconic holiday specials. These movies are available to subscribers year-round.
It can only be streamed for 'free' by signing up for itunes. Glad I own it...

Weekend So the REAL reason is that the evangelicals decided it promoted paganism?

Apple bought them; everyone remembers. It was shattering even if we could view them free it’s not at all the same. It was a day a lot of millennials last piece of childhood faded away
I thought this started last year.
Huh wait? Is there another medium to watch recorded visual images?
telepathically?
purchasing tradition…😒
So sad that future generations will never see these classics
Everything sucks now.
good grief 🙄
I'm losing my patience with this trend. Think I'll use this opportunity to cancel my Apple + subscription. Can't watch Monday night football anymore without a damn subscription, either.
Apple holding Charlie Brown hostage
That's why I keep this and all the Christmas specials saved on my dvr. They're trying to take away Gen-X joy. lol
Did anyone read the article to see that Apple is providing free access to each show for a few days around the relevant holiday? Remember when these shows were first on, you were SOL if you didn’t catch the one network showing per year, complete with Dolly Madison commercials.
WTF?
Smh
This is an advertisement for Apple TV.
Bought the 3 holiday specials on DVD years ago. Once a year? Now with a fee? Piss on that! Get the DVD in the spring when it's cheap - you'll be all set for life.
Oh - I’m blaming them!
Thanks Apple. Your greed is only outdone by - well- your greed.
Apple sucks. For anyone familiar with the Internet and organizations where things are Archived, take a look. The source is legit, not some janky website. But, the last time Iinked to it for something some people got their feathers ruffled, and the content came down.
Bought my DVD / Streaming last year.
Why anyone thinks Apple is anything but a predator and parasite is beyond any formal logic I'm aware of.
Saw this coming - bought the DVDs. Greed in its full glory. Snatch the rights and force parents to pay up in order to share their childhood memories with their children.
karenkasler Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Who in the hell can afford to buy all the streaming channels thanks AppleTV for the greed my granddaughter won’t be able to enjoy Charlie Brown
WTH!!!! Okay you all are effing with my childhood excitement. I need to protest.
It’s was like this last year. Apple TV
Franklin deserves candy reparations.
F U AppleTV !!!!!!
😱😱😱
Why, is there some religious invocation?
Then I'm not watching!
Apple thinks that buying the rights is enough to deny the American public of a Halloween tradition. I think they have too much money already. Maybe we should send Apple a message.
It’s the Greed, Charlie Brown!
Racist.
That’s a damned shame.
is it too offensive? What a joke
