Happy New Year, Charlie Brown Season 1 Episode 1

Charlie Brown is obliged to attend Peppermint Patty's New Year's Eve party, even though he has to finish the novel, War and Peace. Charlie Brown may decry the commercialization of the holidays, but there's no denying the continued popularity of his TV specials. A Charlie Brown Christmas returns to ABC Wednesday night (8/7c) for the first of two airings this month, and if the network's recent rebroadcasts of the Peanuts Halloween and Thanksgiving specials are any indication, it's sure to do well.
