I already own the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas specials; but it's nice that they're making them free for everyone to watch for a few days each.

Now, if they'd only offer Peanuts watch faces, I’d buy an Apple Watch in a click!

Caught about 5 minutes of "Great Pumpkin" today…

Having owned the DVDs in the past, I was bowled over by the image quality and color representation of the 50+ year old special in 4K Dolby Vision on Apple TV+. It was pretty great!

It is only available on Apple TV, not any broadcast channel. EVERY Facebook post on Apple TV has whiners complaining about how they can't watch them on broadcast TV anymore.

First of all, Apple BOUGHT the rights. The 'fault' lies in those who SOLD the rights.

Second, if you're that much of a fan, WHY don't you OWN the DVD by now. So help me understand, you'd rather watch it on network TV WITH commercials than your OWN DVD with NO commercials or Apple TV (free for 3 days) in 4K?!?!?!?

Sorry, I just had to vent about that even though I know that most on here are not those complaining.

Nice! This makes up a little for the ridiculousness that is Tehran. It's also way more realistic :) These were some of my favorite specials when I was growing up

oh nice. I bought the Peanuts Holiday TV bundle a few years back (since these were TV they are not MA or 4K) but looks like the TV+ versions will be 4K, so that's nice.


My son was just asking if we could watch the Charlie Brown Halloween Special this week too.
