Charlie Brown Halloween on Tonight; Growing Pains S1 DVD in February

Probably the best Halloween themed program ever will air tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. That is of course, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The classic 1966 special airs every year and is an annual Halloween tradition. Charlie Brown is finally invited to a Halloween party, Snoopy engages the Red Baron in a dogfight and Linus waits patiently in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin. Charlie Brown has two more classic specials coming up for Thanksgiving and Christmas; we will have more information on those classics closer to the airings. And there is an all-new special in the works, titled He's a Bully, Charlie Brown. ABC will air that sometime this season. But tonight tune in at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT for the Halloween special only on AB(oo!)C.

And in your DVD news, both TVShowsonDVD.com and I have brought you updates on the Growing Pains DVD. Now, Warner Bros. has officially announced the title for a February 7 street date! Show me that smile again! Some extras are planned, such as scenes from the unaired pilot, bloopers, and possibly an all-new reunion just for the DVD (or it could be one of the two reunion movies that has already aired on ABC). So click here for the official announcement, details, and even the cover art!
