Easter: A little spring Peanuts Humor

A holiday isn't officially here until the Peanut's specials start airing on TV.

Charlie Schultz and the Peanuts seem to help ease us into any holiday with warm, family-friendly (and slightly depressing style).

Like most Peanut's Specials, "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" cobbles together several classic comic strips, combined with an over-arching theme. This time its the Easter Beagle, a classic copy of the Great Pumpkin from 1966.

These guys are still spooked 8 years later.

If I can figure out when this gets on TV, I'll post the time, channel and date.
