If you’re like me, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a must-watch for you, every holiday season too! This week marks the 60th anniversary of the fan favorite, (12.09.) Believe it or not, CBS execs initially thought it would be a flop. To their surprise, almost half of TV viewers watched it during its debut. It ranked second in weekly ratings, only trailing behind Bonanza. 15 million people tuned in to see, “Charlie Brown,” “Snoopy,” “Linus” and the whole Peanuts gang. A Charlie Brown Christmas would go on to win an Emmy a few months later.
