The other day my young grandkids asked me if they could watch TV. I asked them what they wanted to watch, and since it was close to Halloween, they told me they wanted “Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin”. I put it on, and they watched it intensely. There were loud bursts of laughter when Charlie Brown got rocks in his trick or treat bag, when Lucy pulled the football away yet again, and when Linus was labeled as a “blockhead”.
This cartoon was made in 1966. I watched it as a kid. My children watched it when they were young, and now my grandkids are into it. It is refreshing and encouraging to know that clean, wholesome entertainment is still appealing to children. It gives you hope we can survive the moral decline in our video culture.
Good, honorable fun will never go out of style. Even a blockhead can see that.
You are correct, my friend.
