Will they be doing the same this year?

[–] GlenEllyn (21592) 3 years ago

Sorry, I haven't heard or seen anything about a broadcast this year.

Rats!

I did a little digging and found this:

In 2021, A Charlie Brown Christmas will air on PBS and PBS Kids on Sun., Dec. 19 at 7:30 pm ET/6:30 CT (check local listings). The broadcast will be commercial-free. 😊

Otherwise, it's only on Apple TV+.

PBS will probably edit it for time, like they do with everything, so they can fit in more bragging and begging.

I imagine they'll put a disclaimer before it about how it promotes "Christofascist" ideals.

Because we live in the dumbest era of human existence thus far.

LOL, it would not surprise me one bit. Disclaimers for dummies..

Just censor the scenes with Christmas trees and references to Christmas. Put a female in it and make it gay.
