And I missed A Charlie Brown Christmas, the best of the Peanuts three holiday specials. It was just before Halloween that I learned that all three specials had been shunted from ABC to AppleTV, but outcry convinced the streaming service to allow each to be shown on PBS -- once, I think on the Sunday evening before each respective holiday. I caught A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving -- well, the latter part of it once I realized what time it was -- but not the other two. I still remember when CBS showed them. I got over it moving to another network, but then it went to a paid service, and then to free TV when it's only shown around the same time as football? Sorry, can't do it. I believe all three specials should remain on free television as tradition, but I guess not enough people agree to keep the ratings up.
So those are the two things I missed this Christmas.
