Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Skeleton Humor
It’s Monday. Gloomy, chilly and wet. That’s what we had over the weekend here in Illinois. While I am no fan of winter, I do very much enjoy the comfort food that goes along with the chilly weather. For instance, I had a huge bowl of homemade minestrone soup for dinner and damn was it good. When it gets cold there’s just no substitute for a warm hearty meal in your belly. And a handful of candy corn as well.
I did almost nothing over the weekend. I caught a couple movies on Saturday. The first was a creepy film called It Follows. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something creepy-scary. After that I saw Cloverfield, which was also scary but in a whole different way. I had seen both of these in the theater back when they were originally released years ago. I had been wanting to see them again, so one just lead to the other on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
I started my Sunday out by watching the Bears win yet another game! This time they beat the Panthers and believe it or not, they’re now 5-1. After the game it was time to catch the NASCAR race in Kansas. It wasn’t the most exciting race but it was cool watching Kevin Harvick try to run down Joey Logano in the final few minutes. Harvick would get right up to Logano’s bumper but just couldn’t stick with him. Logano took the checkers and is now leading in the playoffs.
Well, time to put all that excitement behind me and get back to work.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
It’s Wednesday. Well, this is a bummer. Peanuts classics like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas will not be appearing on network television for the first time in decades. Apple has purchased the exclusive rights to these classics and are now viewable only on their AppleTV+ streaming service. I grew up watching these holiday shows and looked forward to each one throughout the year. Sadly, this year will mark the end of this tradition.

Good grief — the Charlie Brown holiday specials have found a new home!
Instead of airing on broadcast television, the Peanuts animated classics will be streaming on AppleTV+ as part of an expanded partnership with WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions, according to a press release.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas will be offered on the streaming platform for free for certain dates this fall and winter.
Great Pumpkin will be available for free on the streamer from October 30 to November 1, the Thanksgiving special from November 25 to 27, and the Christmas special from December 11 to 13.
But it’s not just the iconic holiday specials that are moving to AppleTV+.
Original Peanuts programming surrounding Mother’s Day, Earth Day, New Year’s Eve and back-to-school season will also be produced by WildBrain to air on AppleTV+. Included in the programming will be The Snoopy Show and season 2 of Snoopy in Space.
The Charlie Brown holiday shows made their debut back in the 1960s on CBS and later aired on ABC.
