I think the way they made the singing in the car actually made it sound like how kids would sing without direction. The out of sync character to the song makes it more charming.

He's a very satisfied person to cook for!" in the middle of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and Linus said, "Among the Charlie Brown in the world! You're the Charlie Brownest!" at the end of A Charlie Brown Christmas like they do in January 12 1999!

The one thing that puzzles me about "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" to this very day is that Lucy is hardly involved with it at all (other than the football-kicking scene at the beginning, of course). After all, she is Linus' sister, and she didn't even accompany him and the other kids to Charlie Brown's grandmother's.

The Mayflower Voyagers isn't so much a "sequel" to A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving as it is the first part of a mini-series of specials called This is America Charlie Brown. The other episodes don't get shown any longer but in order to make a full hour of Peanuts animation, The Mayflower Voyagers gets added to the original Thanksgiving special.

I could be wrong, but it always seemed to me that the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special was the first one that Vince Guaraldi added electronic instruments instead of only acoustic ones! Maybe it was just among the Holiday specials. It gives the Thanksgiving special such a different feel than the Christmas and Halloween ones.

I lost my interest in the Charlie Brown Specials. But the the one I really do like is the very first one, A Charlie Brown Christmas. In 1965 when it was first debuted on CBS I 9 years old. For some reason that is the one I really do enjoy. I have not seen it in many years due to the fact I do not subscribe to cable, or satellite TV nor I do have a outdoor or indoor antenna. For me it is Hulu, Netflix and KZfaq for my watching entertainment. I even have a smart TV and I don't even bother watching any of the free stations.
