On this day in 1966, the Champaign-Urbana Courier featured the first televising of the Peanuts Halloween special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! The prime-time cartoon celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this year. If you missed this year's broadcast, you can watch it online at: http://abc.go.com/movies-and-specials/its-the-great-pumpkin-charlie-brown, or contact The Urbana Free Library's circulation department to reserve it on DVD.
