They're back! Peanuts specials are back!

"Apple announced in October that the famous “Peanuts” holiday TV specials would exclusively move to the Apple TV+ platform. After much outcry from the public, including a petition, the company revealed a partnership with PBS to return these classic broadcasts.

Peanuts on PBS
On November 18 Apple TV+ will stream “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”, and it will launch for free users from November 25 to November 27. Meanwhile “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will launch on Apple TV+ on December 4, and free users can enjoy it on Apple TV December 11 through December 13.

With the addition of PBS, non-Apple users can watch “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” will also air on PBS and PBS KIDS on November 22, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. local time / 6:30 p.m. CT. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will air on PBS and PBS KIDS on December 13, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. local time / 6:30 p.m. CT."

Reason number 45382089735798203609587432589207508924 why I don't like Apple. If people hadn't lost their absolute shit over this, they would have just kept it on their platform only.

That's a great present, but when is Apple going to give us what we really want?

I'd rather just go buy a dvd with all the Charlie Brown specials on it for roughly the same price as an apple tv subscription.

But will they have this?

@powderhound
I have them on VHS!

Anyway, the great news is they will now also be on PBS.

@chariotoflove Times like this, I'm glad I'm a crabby old man at heart, who insists on owning physical copies of things. I have all the Peanuts specials on DVD.

@derpwagon Yes, but they also get credit for responding to the criticism in a positive way.

Likely only due to concern for their bottom line, not actually caring about anyone.
