Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie... and the Peanuts gang to share them with. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever! The fun begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie Brown's house for a REALLY big turkey party. Good grief! All our hero can cook is cold cereal and maybe toast. Is Charlie Brown doomed? Not when Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock chip in to save the (Thanksgiving) Day. With such good friends, Charlie Brown - and all of us - have so many reasons to be thankful.

Reviews

Dalbert Pringle Greetings, one and all - Are you ready for Thanksgiving? It's just around the corner, you know.And, even if you're a vegan, you can still enjoy this holiday celebration without having to eat any turkey. Yeah. There's always plenty of pumpkin pie and cranberry dressing to gobble up.... Yummy! Yummy! And, if you've got nothing better to do you can always watch "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving". It's a sure-fire way to get you into the spirit of the day.Believe me - Viewing this 1973, TV special is always a pleasant way to pass a mere 25 minutes.

Hitchcoc Peppermint Patty coerces Charlie Brown into inviting her and all her friends to a Thanksgiving dinner. Of course all she does is show up. He is stuck preparing the meal from his vast store of recipes. Toast, popcorn, and jellybeans. Of course, she demands turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, etc. She then berates him in front of his friends. Poor Charlie and his lack of backbone. Snoopy proves to be the real star of this episode with his incredibly positive outlook and resiliency. Everyone forgets that when it comes to accomplishments, he is the only one who pulls his weight. These Peanuts shows were certainly fun and continue to entertain many years later.

SnoopyStyle Charlie Brown and Sally are going to their grandmother's for Thanksgiving. Peppermint Patty calls and invites herself and then Marcie and Franklin to Charlie Brown's for Thanksgiving. Linus suggests Charlie Brown have two Thanksgiving dinner with the help of Snoopy and Woodstock. Peppermint Patty is angered by the lack of traditional Thanksgiving food but Marcie convinces her to apologize. Charlie Brown's grandmother calls and invites everybody to her place.Peppermint Patty's voice by Christopher DeFaria is really rough and raspy. It's a little bit jarring. Otherwise, this is a charming Charlie Brown holiday special and it holds up well. It has the innocence of the simple cartoon drawings. Also it's a single story without the usual detours. This just has the sense of the impending Holidays that appears every Fall. I do wonder if there is anything wrong with Woodstock eating turkey.

Aaron1375 Yes, here we actually had a Charlie Brown holiday where Linus was not a complete buzz kill. A change of pace from the norm for him, but his one is a simple tale of a couple of Charlie Brown's friends inviting themselves over for a Thanksgiving day feast when Charlie Brown is intending to go to his grandmother's house so he and his pal Linus and Snoopy cook up a feast all on their own. This grand meal including plenty of toast and popcorn. I like this one, to me it is the funniest of the three most well known ones...Halloween and Christmas being the other two. This one is also about the poor holiday stuck between Halloween and Christmas and to me seems to be almost a forgotten holiday these days as the retail stores push Halloween and Christmas and seem to ignore Thanksgiving all together. This one really shows the friend or family member that likes to kind of invite themselves to dinners and things like that this time of year as the culprit in this case is the ever exuberant Peppermint Patty. Marcie comes along too. I know lots of people that kind of tag along events such as these mainly because they do not want to cook themselves so I guess this one sort of hits home, and for me is the funniest and best of the holiday trio.
