1) Amazon.com essential video
Two of the all-time cartoon classics It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (a Peabody and Emmy winner from 1965) highlight this three-disc, six-episode set. Although the DVDs contain no extras (good grief!) and could have been combined on a single disc (drat!), the collection looks and sounds wonderful on DVD. The content is the same on the VHS and DVD sets, with two episodes per tape or disc. Accompanying Pumpkin is You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown, a cute spin on politics that has aged very well since its 1972 release. Christmas sports a lackluster sequel of sorts, It's Christmas Time Again, Charlie Brown (1992) that has Sally dwelling on getting (instead of giving), Charlie Brown facing a spending dilemma, and everyone suffering stage fright before the annual school play. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) also won an Emmy but is not as well known as others; it also suffers from not having the original cast. Snoopy is foremost in helping to put on an impromptu feast (toast and popcorn) as the gang keeps forgetting the true meaning of the holiday. Also on the disc is a better Thanksgiving venue, The Mayflower Voyages (1988), part of the This is America, Charlie Brown series that breathed new life into the franchise. Mostly narrated by Linus, the show traces the Pilgrims' plight and doesn't talk down to youngsters on the hardships they faced. It's a treasure of a gift (for others or yourself), all nicely packaged. --Doug Thomas

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Peanuts.. Probobally one of the best strips of all time next to Calvin and Hobbes. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This peanuts video is really really great and funny. This is the comic strip that teaches the 'kid' side of oral adult view points. Join Charlie Brown, (Who hates it when Peanut Butter gets stuck in the roof of your mouth) Lucy, (Her psychiatric help booths are always a scream), Linus, (Who always carries his blanket around), and Sally, (Who doesn't give a flip as to whether or not her subjects in school are correct.)And then there's the goofy black and white beagle, snoopy, and the wacky yellow bird known as Woodstock. Even though we have never seen this peanuts video, I highly recommend the books to Peanuts fans. Or if your a Calvin and Hobbes fan, don't turn it down. Truly a heartwarming, funny, and hilarious strip. The Peanuts Holiday collection definitely gets Kudos from me.2) Peanuts Holiday DVD Collection [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is an outstanding product! I ordered it through Amazon from a third-party vendor. It showed up in pristine condition. It was a gift for my wife (a huge Peanuts fan) and she loved it! In addition to the three main titles there are other, lesser known and even rarely televised titles that expand on the three holidays (for instance, a Peanuts version of the landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock and the subsequent events leading up to the first Thanksgiving). Highly recommended. Get these before the networks stop showing them on TV at all.3) Peanuts Holiday Collection [Rating: 5 out of 5]
You just can't beat Charlie Brown DVD's! This is a very wholesome, fun movie. It teaches children the true meaning of the holiday season! Great buy. Fun for the entire family.4) Shop Around for this Set [Rating: 5 out of 5]
A must have set without a doubt. And while it is true that Paramount Pictures no longer holds the copyright to these films and that this set will not be reproduced, there are still stores with some existing stock. Many , like Amazon are out and will not be getting anymore, because Paramount can no longer produce them, however, if you shop around you might find one. Atleast look before spending 60 dollars from an online buyer. Here's to Charlie!5) Great Set [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Hard to find, but a great set nonetheless. I'm so glad I got it so my daughter would be able to watch these Peanuts specials without so many commercial interruptions. Quality is great!
