A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving turns 50

Peppermint Patty was such a bitch in this one. I never liked it even as a child.

Peppermint Patty called up Chuck and invited herself, Marci and Franklin over for Thanksgiving dinner. Snoopy prepared a feast consisting of buttered toast, popcorn, pretzels and jellybeans.

Then Peppermint Patty started bitching “what kind of Thanksgiving dinner is this”?!!

I liked Lucy and Peppermint Patty and Sally because they were bitchy.

Peppermint Patty and Marci were lesbian

Peppermint Patty’s real name is Pricilla

What do you think Charlie Brown's grandma said when he showed up for Thanksgiving dinner with a lesbian couple and a black kid?

In 1973, that would definitely have been a shock in real life. But the cartoon deliberately made it seem like no big deal at all. Want to set a good example for the kids.

I know I wasn’t 15 when this first aired.

Never mind.

R8 Charlie Brown did call his grandmother (who lived in a condominium) beforehand and explained to her that his guests were “still here”. He told grandma that Peppermint Patty was a girl who played baseball. This should have alerted her that she was a lesbian.

I thought PP was male

Is this the one with the song, "Little Birdie"? I love that song and sing it to my three year old niece.

They talk like little bitter adults in a child's body.

Just the one, dear?

Lucy, Sally, Peppermint Patty were bitchy

Peppermint Patty's real name was not (ahem) "Pricilla." The character's real full name was Patricia Reichardt. She joins Charlie and Sally Brown, and Lucy, Linus and Rerun Van Pelt as Peanuts characters whose last names were revealed. Most of the rest were not: Marcie, Schroeder, Franklin, Frieda, Violet, Shermy etc.

R17 that’s what they said her real name was in the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving cartoon. Sorry!

I had a crush on Schroeder.

R17, pretty sure Schroeder's last name was revealed, it was his first name that was not.

This used to air on regular cable, now one must pay a streaming service to watch fucking Charlie Brown!!

r21 you can watch for free this weekend on Apple TV+

r21 If you click on op's youtube link you can watch it for free, there.

We played it for my niece on VHS and without commercials, it was only about 20 minutes long. She complained about it being so short.

R24 is she a bitch?
