Thanksgiving Toons: This Is America, Charlie Brown (1988)

One of CBS' last Peanuts projects was an ambitious miniseries, entitled, This is America, Charlie Brown, which had Charlie and his friends inserted into various points in time. If this sounds familiar, well, it does borrow the concept of the 1974 series, US of Archie in that regard.

Alena K uploaded a sample of the series opener, "The Mayflower Voyagers", which explains the how's & why's leading to the origin of Thanksgiving Day.



After the miniseries ended, CBS lost the rights to Charles Schulz's beloved characters to ABC, which has aired "The Mayflower Voyagers" twice in the last three years. WB owns the video rights, but have not decided to reissue the miniseries on DVD.

No rating, as I never saw this when it first aired.
