Just a quick heads-up for those interested:

Tonight at 8:00 est, ABC will be airing the special _A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving_, which originally aired on CBS on November 20, 1973. It’s not one of the most well-known Peanuts specials, but some folks I’m sure do have memories of Snoopy and Peppermint Patty’s rather unusual Thanksgiving dinner- so much so that one intrepid soul actually [attempted to recreate it for the sake of entertainment](http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0845/) (warning: some strong language).

Afterwards is a brand-new special, _He’s A Bully, Charlie Brown_, which comes from the final story treatment prepared by the late Charles Schulz, adapted from a series of 1995 strips in which Charlie Brown competes in a marbles tournament.
