It was HUGELY controversial to have Linus read scripture during the Christmas play, in Charlie Brown Christmas, the nativity scene.
The execs hated the show and said it would bomb. Jazz music? kids voices? No laugh track? They told Schulz he had to change it. He told them to get bent.

I used to love watching those when I was younger.

Me too Alex, I'm very introverted, prone to anxiety, as was Schulz, so it clicked with me immediately.

I love them more now as an adult, but I suppose that's because of nostalgia. Great Pumpkin, the World War 1 scene is priceless.

Yeah, that's how I've always been. I like to think that my compositions reflect my personality in a way; or at least how I see certain objects and events.

I haven't been watching them as much the past few years, but I figure that's probably just as a necessary break. I may have to sit down and watch them sooner or later. I do remember watching the movie Snoopy Come Home alot when I was a child. I can't even remember the last time I saw that though.

The greatest kid tv/movies are always those that don't underestimate the children and don't dodge the serious stuff. Something I've realised now that I'm older and enjoy my old favourites just as much as I did back then.

I'm not familiar enough to make a good judgement, but I haven't been intrigued enough to become familiar.

If you're ever freaked and need to talk to someone, you're welcome to PM me. I know it can really suck. Fun to talk guys, but I gotta find dreamland....gnite!

" To make college more affordable, this bill will finally end the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies that go to banks for student loans. Instead, let's take that money and give families a $10,000 tax credit for four years of college and increase Pell Grants. And let's tell another 1 million students that when they graduate, they will be required to pay only 10 percent of their income on student loans, and all of their debt will be forgiven after 20 years — and forgiven after 10 years if they choose a career in public service. Because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they chose to go to college. And it's time for colleges and universities to get serious about cutting their own costs — because they too have a responsibility to help solve this problem." Pres. Obama.

Sounds good. I hope I get my Pell Grant soon. Daddy needs a new box set.

"Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need
little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Schools should
be palaces. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They
should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly
expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its
citizens, just like national defense. That is my position. I just
haven't figured out how to do it yet."
Ah. Utopia.

He guessed Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins for me too.

I just never would have thought it would know Ozy and Millie. He is annoying.
