Christmas Week: "A Charlie Brown Christmas"


Now considered to be a holiday classic, this holiday special was originally hated by Charles Schulz, thought to be too religious by the network and was not appreciated by the sponsors. Even the now classic musical score by Vince Guaraldi was criticized at the time.



Of course, it's really the audience that determines how successful something is, and Charlie Brown's audience decided that this special was something special.
