comment
The Thanksgiving special (in part because there aren't all that many Thanksgiving specials).The tenth of the Peanuts animated specials, and naturally enough a Thanksgiving Episode, it first aired on CBS on November 20, 1973note though, in a case of Short Run in Peru, it actually premiered in Canada on CBC on October 6, 1973, during the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday weekend and became an annual tradition thereafter. Much as Thanksgiving itself is somewhat overshadowed by falling between the higher-profile Halloween and Christmas, this special has never become quite so iconic as the similarly holiday-themed A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but is fondly remembered in its own right, and like them continues to air each and every year.The plot concerns Peppermint Patty inviting herself, Marcie, and Franklin over to Charlie Brown's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, Charlie Brown is going to his grandmother's house for dinner and he can't seem to explain this fact to Peppermint Patty, mainly because she won't let him get a word in! So—with help from Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock—he scrambles to throw together a makeshift backyard "dinner" consisting of toast, popcorn, pretzel sticks, and jelly beans.In 2001, annual broadcast rights to the special moved to ABC, where it was typically paired with an edited version of "The Mayflower Voyagers," the premiere episode of the 1988–89 mini-series This Is America, Charlie Brown (the two specials are commonly paired on DVD as well). In 2020, this and the other Peanuts specials moved to Apple TV+ as part of a streaming deal. However, it aired on PBS and PBS Kids that year as part of a last-minute arrangement, which ended after 2021.Followed by It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown in 1974.

comment
New Sound Album: This special marked the point where Vince Guaraldi really started leaning in more of a jazz-rock fusion direction with his Peanuts scores, incorporating a Fender Rhodes electric piano and Clavinet keyboard (famously used by Stevie Wonder on "Superstition") alongside his traditional piano, and adding electric bass, Funk-inspired drumming and elaborate horn arrangements to the mix. He continued in that mode for the remainder of his Peanuts work.

 A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / int_27a58d30
comment
Carnivore Confusion: The ending scene features Woodstock joining Snoopy in eating turkey. On a DVD commentary, Bill Meléndez admitted that even he thought the scene was rather morbid.note  On the other hand, birds really do eat other species of bird in nature. A turkey and a (possible) canary like Woodstock are about as closely related as birds as a human being and a cow are as mammals, so eating turkey wouldn't make actually make Woodstock a cannibal.

comment
Complaining About Things You Haven't Paid For: Patty invites herself over for Thanksgiving dinner when she isn't even family for Charlie Brown, honorary or otherwise. She did volunteer to help with the dishes, but that's about it. Linus suggests they have a smaller dinner earlier so that Charlie Brown won't be late. Peppermint Patty complains that the food isn't traditional dinner, and it's more an array of snacks. Marcie does call out Patty for it.

Artistic License – History
 A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Asked to say grace before dinner, Linus provides a thumbnail sketch of the first Thanksgiving in 1621 Plymouth (itself heavily mythologized),for the record... The "first Thanksgiving" was only quickly mentioned in William Bradford's diary; there's nothing to indicate that this particular feast was gratitude-themed; the 90 Wampanoag Native Americans weren't actually invited - they showed up when they heard celebratory gunshots being fired and thought their new neighbors were under attack; and "Massasoit" is the title for the Wampanoag leader; his actual name was Ousamequin. then recites a paraphrased version of a prayer that Elder William Brewster might have given for the colonists. (The prayer itself is made up for the special.)

"The Hero Sucks" Song
 A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / int_648a4c38
comment
"The Hero Sucks" Song: "Little Birdie" is a bizarre case. The song is sung with Woodstock in mind specifically, with the first half telling him that he doesn't need to worry so much, but then the second half is dedicated to telling how much Snoopy makes everything more complicated than needed and is too easily distracted.

Christmas Creep: The characters briefly complain about this; Sally tells Charlie Brown that she went into town to look for a "turkey tree" and could only find Christmas decorations. When Linus joins the conversation and Charlie Brown laments the impending arrival of Thanksgiving, Sally wails, "I haven't even finished eating all of my Halloween candy!" note  Which, by the events of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, she shouldn't actually have unless she's been eating......on second thought, let's not think about that.

Ungrateful Bitch: Peppermint Patty, who takes on Lucy's role of Jerkass in the special. After inviting herself and the others to Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving, she has the audacity to yell at him for not having a "proper" holiday meal in spite of the fact that one, he can't cook, two, he's only about ten or so years old (the same age as every other child in their group of friends save for Linus, Sally and Rerun), three, Snoopy did the majority of the cooking and four, that she wasn't properly invited. Thankfully, Marcie called her out on her behavior.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Lucy isn't seen, or even mentioned, after the Football Gag teaser at the beginning. This is especially odd given the substantial role that her brother Linus has in the main story. Moreover, Linus joins the Brown family for Thanksgiving dinner instead of spending it with the Van Pelts.

The analogy is Lampshaded by Linus, but Peppermint Patty doesn't see it. Later, Marcie refers to her as "Priscilla," although technically Charlie Brown is Priscilla in this analogy.

A Simple Plan: Linus suggests to Charlie Brown that if he has three uninvited guests, he should just put on a second, earlier dinner before leaving for the big celebration at Grandma's. When Charlie Brown argues that he can only make cereal and toast, Linus and Snoopy help him to assemble a meal of toast, popcorn, jelly beans and pretzel sticks to serve in the backyard. It almost works, too; Peppermint Patty complains, but the other kids—after being weirded out by Snoopy tossing them their food—happily dig in.

He nearly falls off it and can barely see across the table. During the end credits, Snoopy enjoys a real Thanksgiving dinner with Woodstock, including a whole turkey and pumpkin pie. One wonders where Snoopy was hiding it while the others were having popcorn, toast, pretzel sticks, and jelly beans.
