About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,500+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

*Fun Fact:* This special features the camp bullies' pet bobcat, Brutus, from the 1977 film "Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown".

Back when they used to limit commercials for these specials. Nowadays not so much, they just edit and skip parts.

[@WiiLoveWeather7-12-16]

Stupid ABC is not mature enough. They want commercials, but they just have to give them up if we try.

[@WillCWilson]

I remember one time where they ended "Easter Beagle" after Marcie says, "Tastes terrible, sir". After she says that, they faded to black, and then the end credits showed up. I think it was sometime in the late 2000's I saw that.

[@seanherbs6605]

This is the original airing of this Peanuts special. Apparently, an annual presentation of "It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" follows this airing.
The sponsors for that hour are McDonald's for both, and Dolly Madison for the latter.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

But they used the 1980-81 “Looking Good Together” era slide for The Incredible Hulk preemption announcement.

Someday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown Is One Of My Favorite Specials.

0:04 - Because of the following CBS special presentation, "The Incredible Hulk" will not be presented this evening.

This is the first airing of the special

ABC should air this episode again

[@pmcpmc8005]

I specifically remember this ran opposite of an American Bandstand anniversary special on ABC, and I chose to watch that. Otherwise I would have watched the Peanuts special. Don't remember it ever repeating.

[@RJSchex]

I seem to remember seeing it repeated at some point in early 1983.

[@loopdeloopandpull6334]

It did replay a few times on Nickelodeon when they got the rights to the specials and The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show, around 1998-2000.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

@@RJSchex Now ABC needs the Peanuts special here! 😁

[@WillCWilson]

It's on DVD now

[@aboxofbroken8tracks983]

Charlie Brown being depressed is normal, but in this he seems actually demented. Were all the non-holiday Peanuts specials this bad?

[@WillCWilson]

No

ABC needs to add this to their Peanuts library.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I hope it will end up on PBS someday if they might add it to the whole Peanuts library, along with Apple TV+, and it is going to be part of the PBS Kids block.

[@timbartschwolfman]

No not the Hulk

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

Yep. It was taken off for Peanuts.
