On December 9, 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on the CBS network. This was the first time the famous Peanuts comic strip characters created by Charles M. Schultz were brought to life in a television cartoon special. Ironically, once the production of A Charlie Brown Christmas was completed, the network and the producers predicted that the project would be a disaster. Little did they know that this simple, seasonal cartoon would garner high ratings and critical acclaim, earning both an Emmy and a Peabody Award. Even more significant is the fact that, for more than a half century, wathcing A Charlie Brown Christmas been a cherished tradition for millions of people every year since it first aired in 1965. In episode 8 of That's Worth Repeating, Richard and Brian discuss a quotable quote by the very notable Charlie Brown, who presents us with a most crucial question to consider during the Christmas season.
