A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was originally aired on the CBS network on November 20, 1973, and won an Emmy Award the following year. As of 2011, the special is aired every November in prime time on the ABC network.
This sweet, heartwarming 1973 offering from the Peanuts gang (and Charles Schulz) once again shows Charlie Brown in a pickle, as his erstwhile friends impose upon the hapless would-be-host to provide a memorable and traditional Thanksgiving feast.
