It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown was on t.v. tonight and what a trip down memory lane it was to watch it. All the themes of the comic strip were there - Charlie Brown getting rocks in his trick or treat bag and just never being able to catch a break, Linus and his existential questioning and trying to make sense of the unknown as he waits for the great pumpkin, Snoopy's sense of playfulness as he pretends to be a World War I flying ace and his sentimentality as he listens to Schroeder play the piano, and Lucy, well, let's just say Lucy didn't look out of place in her witch costume. As a kid I loved watching this special on television every year.
