Charlie Brown vs Shrek Premiere... Tonight !!!

This is scary!!! ABC & NBC scheduled both cartoons at the very same time!

October 28, 2010 Thursday

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown ... ABC ... 8 PM – 9 PM
Scared Shrekless ... NBC ... 8 PM – 8:30 PM *NEW

How unfortunate for children who don't get much great programming in Prime Time and would love to see both! Not only is it playing opposite of the 2nd World Series Baseball Game, but they are playing at the same time at 8 PM est! (Go Texas, by the way - not my #1 Team, but my World Series Pick!)

I'm afraid poor Charlie Brown will "get the shaft" (as the little girl says in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation) - since Shrek is brand new. I know at our house, though, Charlie Brown will rule! How about yours???

The Charlie Brown hour will also include - "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown". Hope some of you can watch one and tape the other.

Enjoy, Everyone!

INSPIRED BY THE HIT FEATURE FILM 'SHREK'- -When Halloween arrives, Shrek (Mike Myers) cannot wait to start celebrating his favorite holiday -- ogre style. Instead of the usual tricks or treats, Shrek challenges Donkey (Dean Edwards), Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) and the other fairy-tale characters to a scary storytelling contest.

Movie Review:

Coming...

Please Note: I don't usually promote a lot of Halloween programming... especially anything filled with scary scenes not suitable for families. I do, however, usually share when Charlie Brown or Winnie the Pooh's Halloween Specials are on - because they are decent, cute, and fun for family viewing. I am hoping this new cartoon special will fall into this category - though, please know, I have not seen this myself, and it could be scary for children.
