So I heard from a few friends that I have missed the Charlie Brown Christmas special. I think I was told that it aired on ABC this past Wednesday (12/3/03). Does anyone happen to know when, if at all, it will re-air? Should I just rent it? Many thanks in advance. ---

Was it just me, or was the hour-long version of Charlie Brown that aired the other night significantly altered? It seemed to have a bunch of new footage added (with some sticky voice matching) and there seemed to be things missing. I eventually turned it off because it was rubbing me the wrong way. There are some things that shouldn’t be messed with; Charlie Brown Christmas is one of them.
