2020 isn’t done dishing out less-than-desirable news... “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” won’t air on television for the first time since 1966.
First premiering on CBS more than 50 years ago, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” became an instant classic. The holiday special moved to ABC programming in 2001.
