Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter this special originally aired children all over the country sent candy to Charlie Brown out of sympathy.
- GoofsWhen Sally decides she's going to join Linus in the pumpkin patch instead of trick-or-treating with the others, her ghost costume she was holding vanishes suddenly.
- Quotes
[repeated line]
Charlie Brown: I got a rock.
- Crazy creditsLinus and Charlie Brown are at the wall and Charlie tells Linus that he's done stupid things in his life, too. Then Linus keeps on shouting during the credits about how sitting and waiting in a pumpkin patch wasn't stupid.
- Alternate versionsThe version of the show broadcast on CBS from the late 1970s until it went to ABC was edited, cutting out most of the trick-or-treat/I got a rock sequence. This version was also time-compressed. Some older video releases also edit this sequence and also the scene where Snoopy dances along to Schroeder's World War I-era piano music. Later airings on CBS in the late 1990s would also cut the scene where Lucy pulls the football away when Charlie Brown attempts to kick it. The Paramount video release is unedited.
- ConnectionsEdited into Blue Peanuts (1987)
Featured review
Brings back a flood of memories every time I watch it...
I grew up with this and all the other Peanuts specials. I remember sitting up until 8:00pm (late for me at that age) and loving it. I remember the Mounds and Almond Joy ads. I even remember the catchy CBS "Special Presentation" intro. What can be said for this classic that hasn't been said before? From Linus and Sally in the pumpkin patch all night to the still quoted "I got a rock!" line, not many holiday specials that don't involve Charlie Brown and the gang bring a smile to my face like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Schulz.
