So here we are just a coupla days before Thanksgiving, and my fave of the Big 3 Charlie Brown specials has just aired...odd as it sounds, this special is actually younger than the Great Pumpkin, clocking in at 34 years old...still, that makes me feel old...as cool as the WWI ace is, and Snoopy mocking Lucy at Christmas, nothing beats the greatness that is Snoopy_setting_up_the_table_for_the_feast...not to mention the superb song "Little Birdie" playing in the background. Vince Guaraldi wasn't just great on the piano, but had a really cool jazz voice to go with it...get a little background on Vince here...being in retail, one of the funniest lines is in the beginning, when C.B. complains about "Christmas already?!" and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet...methinks he was ready to throw a shoe...the only criticism is that ABC cut out the end, where Snoopy and Woodstock share a REAL turkey feast, and split the wishbone...(don't worry, it's in the clip above)...anyhoo, so just one more special to go before we can kiss '07 goodbye...more fun with Chuck's gang next week!...(already?!)
