October 27, 1966

It's the Great Pumpkin, 
Charlie Brown!

first aired on a Thursday near Halloween,

pre-empting the My Three Sons  comedy

sitcom that had that time spot weekly.

It scored ratings bonanzas for CBS the

Major Network to show it for decades

thereafter.  Once DISNEY / ABC acquired

the "Peanuts" catalog and trademark rights

it aired a few more years in the 21st century

annually until it was moved over to "Streaming"

and "Pay Per View".
