ABC will be airing this holiday classic on Tues, 10/30 at 8:00PM EST. If you're setting your timer, be sure to set it from 8:00-9:00PM. Even though the actual cartoon runs less than a half hour, ABC usually packs it with enough commercials so that it doesn't end until about 8:35 and they then show another Peanuts cartoon to fill up the hour. Good grief!
On the plus side though, ever since ABC obtained the broadcast rights, they've reinstated a few scenes that CBS used to regularly cut to make room for commercials. You can now see Lucy trick-or-treating and asking for extra candy for her "stupid brother" and yes, Charlie Brown now says, "I got a rock", more than once.
If you catch it this year, be sure to check out those painted skies in the background. They're gorgeous!
