But you still need an Apple ID to see them. But I do wonder how many people are going to create Apple IDs just to see the specials for free this year and not use the IDs for anything else?
Wake me when there's a Hollywood reboot of these that include Charlie Brown and Snoopy origin stories and are GRITTY and REALISTIC and feature desaturated colors with RAW EMOTION (Charlie Brown wandering rain-soaked, dirty streets, having an existential breakdown after being called a blockhead, Snoopy fighting in WW1 with soldiers screaming in pain and slo-mo shots of bullets impacting flesh, etc). Starring Joaquin Phoenix as Charlie Brown and Karl Urban as Snoopy.
Nope… I’ll celebrate the day PBS closes its doors ✌️Come on, Tim. Let PBS air them on the holiday. You can throw your logo in the corner and all that marketing stuff before it.
Already listening to holiday music like Vince Gerardi Trio 🎄

I wonder if Mr. Schwartz father fought in first Great War and was involved with dogfights and he reliving it thru snoopy?
All of the Peanuts specials were available for dirt cheap on disc some years ago. I bought 'em and ripped 'em to our streaming Jellyfin "server" (repurposed 2014 Mac Mini). Works great, and no worries about someone pulling the subscription rug out from under us.
No thank you. I'm happy that there is at least one non-religious and not-for-profit broadcaster still around.
Even from a totally self-centered perspective... without PBS, we Americans probably wouldn't even be aware of amazing British TV shows like Red Dwarf, Monty Python, Fry and Laurie, Downton Abbey, etc.
.... then be a parent and show them? Peanuts is not "behind the times", it's multigenerational and beloved by many.
That's too bad - my son LOVES Snoopy/Peanuts. Apple TV+ makes some new shows (The Snoopy Show & Camp Snoopy) that are on constantly in our house. My son always requests to watch. And my wife and I like them too.
Just renewed my ATV+ subscription after a hiatus of about 18 months. Been catching up on later seasons of shows I had enjoyed in a previous run.
I have gotta say they have become predictable and boring. Who is writing this preachy, soapy bilge?

that's what we have all been waiting for, Tim.

or why don't you just quit, as you are no Steve Jobs

It doesn't feel like that at all. Mostly because it's not. Lots of salty comments in here.
Apparently Apple is bad, Peanuts is bad, PBS is bad... a lot of people here just like to be miserable!
What most people objected to was the U2 album being added to their music libraries without the user being consulted about it.
