Backlash against Apple TV+ taking the rights to Charles Schulz’ Peanuts.

It seems like you can watch Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Sally, Peppermint Patty and Schorder on PBS Kids for the time being.

PBS struck a deal with Apple, Wildbrain Entertainment and Syndicated Features to host the Peanut specials.

ABC had held the Peanut specials for nearly 20 years. Before ABC it was CBS that held the Peanut specials for over 30 years.

The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown was streamed online through Apple TV for free.

It was a heavy handed tactic from Apple to take the Peanut series to streaming platforms.

Apple has now allowed PBS to air ad-free broadcasts of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Both specials will continue to be streamed on Apple TV+ for free during the holidays.

PBS Kids will have the specials beginning on November 25-27 and December 11-13.

Recurring theme is Lucy always pulling the football away when Charlie Brown tries to kick it.

Subscribers will get first look between November 18 and December 4.

The Peanuts comics were launched by Charles M. Schulz in 1950. It featured a small boy named Charlie Brown who is an everyday boy who faces the trials and tribulations of being a boy who gets the short end of the stick.

His lovable dog, Snoopy is a white beagle who has an imagination and creative streak. Charlie Brown and yellow bird Woodstock are his best friends. Snoopy often torments Linus when he is around his security blanket. He outsmarts Lucy and outwits Peppermint Patty. He can be lazy, gluttonous, selfish and often ignores Charlie Brown whenever he orders him to take a bath. By far, Snoopy is probably the most iconic character of the Peanuts series. He is the spokesperson for MetLife, Cedar Fair Properties and NASA.
