With the success of A Charlie Brown Christmas. The network CBS wanted another seasonal show that could run every year. The animation team was under pressure to produce because if they could not deliver CBS wasn’t going to pick up another show.
Enter It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown which aired in 1966. The show would go on to capture half of the television audience, which was an amazing feat at that time. And it set the standard not only for Peanuts and Halloween specials, but for the holiday animated format overall..
Life has a way of unconventionally giving us the solution to problems. We just have to notice the effort and act on it.
To quote the kid himself Charlie Brown..
“In the book of life.. The answers aren’t in the back.”
Good grief! What a smart guy!

OK, what's a Rover? Must be something small. Whoever invented aluminum engine blocks should be shot. All they do is twist out of shape. They were putting them in Trans-Ams back in 1979, and I had nothing but trouble with that car, due entirely to the aluminum engine block. Maybe my ex had something to do with it as well, considering he tried to drive it like a Ferrari, but the end result was a trashed Trans-Am that was only a few years old.
I can see it might work in a little JSB that was never overdriven, though.

Range Rover I think. Not something dinky for sure.

65 years ago, September 24, 1961, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color premiered on NBC. The anthology series had moved from ABC, where it had aired for seven seasons in black and white under the titles Disneyland and Walt Disney Presents. The move to NBC came with a new emphasis on color, with the network sponsoring the switch through RCA, its then parent company, which manufactured color television sets and had every incentive to get families to buy them.
The premiere episode, "An Adventure in Color," paired a tour of Disney's new color production process with the animated short "Mathmagicland." Walt Disney himself continued hosting the show, introducing a mix of animated shorts, nature documentaries, live action films and behind the scenes looks at the Disney studio and its theme park. The series became appointment viewing for families across the country and is widely credited with helping convince American households to invest in color television sets during the decade, since Wonderful World of Color was one of the few programs actually worth watching in color at the time.
The series continued under the Wonderful World of Color title until its final broadcast on September 7, 1969, after which it continued on NBC under new titles for several more decades.

I will admit I loved my bell bottoms. I wore high heeled shoes and boots with mine, but not platforms (I was tall enough!). And those pants in the ad are way too short. I know, they're trying to show off the boots underneath, but you know, "Highwaters." LOL!
I still smell it every morning.
Lindsay Wagner (her real name was Lindsay Ball) used to have a house on the highway between Portland and Mt. Hood (I forget the highway number now...). There was a gate at the end of the driveway, always locked, and the house was back in the woods. She was probably never there anyway, but every time we drove by, we'd holler, "Hi, Lindsay!"
By the way, I looked up Rover automobiles, and it was different than the Range Rover or Land Rover. I found this: "Rover is a British automotive brand that was used for over a century, from 1904 to 2005" It was a big thing, but old-ish, and didn't look very fast, so maybe that's why it could handle an aluminum block.
