Easter Shows Not on TV this Year:

It doesn't appear, at this time, that It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown will be played on TV this year.

It has been a staple on Television for years and years and I must say that I am disappointed. It wasn't long ago that ABC signed a new deal with the Peanuts Brand to continue to show their cartoons on their Network. I was hoping they might show the Easter Cartoon and perhaps show another Peanuts cartoon with it - something that pertained to Spring, Flowers, or anything pertaining to this Season. "ABC"... in the words of Charlie Brown, "Oh, good grief!!!" I suppose we'll have to watch it on DVD this year!

Also not Airing...
The Easter Promise,
Easter Is,
Winnie the Pooh, Springtime with Roo,
Yogi, the Easter Bear,
Peter Rabbit,
Here Comes Peter Cottontail,
The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town,
The First Easter Rabbit.


Please, leave a Comment of your favorite Easter Show - or , if you find any of these shows airing on TV, after all ... please let us know!

I love the sweet Easter Cartoon Easter Is. It is a great cartoon for children of all ages. The Easter Bunny is Comin to Town is also a really cute Easter Cartoon with naration by Fred Astaire. Speaking of Fred Astaire... he and Judy Garland are terrific in the Musical Movie Classic - Easter Parade. I just love it!

Easter Cartoons + It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown airs Next Week on ABC

It's a grand time for those who love Animation Classics. Snow White is premiering on the Disney Channel this weekend (click here for more news about that + my own personal rememberance story) and Charlie Brown is back in Prime Time next week - Wednesday, March 31, 2010 on ABC in It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown. It's another wonderful Holiday Edition of the Peanuts Gang Classics Cartoons. This one, like all the others, is just as adorable!

Watch as Marci tries to figure out how to boil and color easter eggs, and the rest of the gang goes Easter Shopping, and there's the hiding of eggs... while Linus tries to convince Sally to wait for the Easter Beagle! Oh, Brother!!!

It's so Precious... and the Children will surely love it - as Snoopy dances around hiding eggs just like the Easter Bunny! So cute!

While it is sweet to see such adorable Easter Cartoons, it's also nice to see other cartoons that portray the true meaning of the Easter Holiday. One of my favorite, is Easter Is. It's about a boy whose classroom project is for all the students to draw a picture on a poster of what Easter means to them. One boy's drawing is so beautiful - it will surely touch your hearts.
