These were event night television in my house growing up, long before you had everything at your fingertips, and I still watch them every year as an adult. Giving access to those without a subscription is great.

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.

I wonder if Mr. Schwartz father fought in first Great War and was involved with dogfights and he reliving it thru snoopy?
 
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.
 
This feels so behind the times, much like when Apple dropped U2 on everyone. My kids don't even know who Peanuts are.
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.
 
I don’t think this is for all regions. Not that I really care, but I have never seen them in the app. It’s not like they could get buried on ATV+, it’s still maybe a couple dozen shows.
 
As a Canadian, I'm glad the Thanksgiving one is already available for us and not set for American Thanksgiving
 
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?
