The Lookback : Thanksgiving Dad

Disney Thanksgiving The Flashback 

     There aren't many Thanksgiving specials ,as I have  said before, but I always try to find something of interest  in television or other  media for the holiday. This time I delve in personally one of my favorite Disney animated series, Pepper Ann.  It's time to take a look at "Thanksgiving Dad"

   The episode is the tenth from season 1 in 1997 (so it's 20 years old)  and starts with Halloween. (Sure why not?)   Moose  and Pepper Ann get a call from their dad  and he says he has something planned for them on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile her and mother and her aunt are preparing for Thanksgiving. (That's hardcore planning there) 
         

You should see when they plan for Christmas/ Copyright Disney 

   It skips to November 11th where Lydia (Pepper Ann's mother) and her Aunt Janie are shopping for Thanksgiving. while Pepper Ann tells her sister that she thinks that their father is coming for Thanksgiving instead of calling as normal.    Then it skips to Thanksgiving Day. Pepper Ann is happy expecting her father's surprise.  She begins to expect that her father is coming to Thanksgiving.

This magazine told me.. don't look at me like that/ Copyright Disney 

    Pepper Ann counts the chairs around the table and sees there's an extra one thinking that  her mother is on  it - her father coming to dinner. Also there's a few Pepper Ann's father scenes where she imagines him doing a bunch of random things to get to her.  Meanwhile , Janie has to go out looking for more yams , but there are no yams.   Milo, Pepper Ann's Friend, tries to help her get over it and tells he's not coming. Though he's not helpful.

   Lydia tells her what that extra place is for  that it's for her to join the adult table, but she isn't happy that her father is happy.  The turkey's burnt.  PepperAnn's dad calls and tells her and Moose to turn on the TV.  To find out that he is flying the Thanksgiving  Day parade blimp.

       That's the episode.   Some clean up notes : A lot of the episode has scenes where Pepper Ann imagines her father either at a diner, talking about her, or in the desert trying to contact her, or sky driving to their house. When watching the episode you can feel some of Pepper Ann's tension  as she waits for her father to show up. It's a feeling  I think many can feel when they are expecting someone or something to come but at the same time they don't know if they really are.  

     Of course since it's a comedy there are some funny moments.  I like the pacing of the episode it feels like a Thanksgiving Day. That's our lookback , tune in next time when we report from a blimp.

But First These Messages: Power us Up

But First These Messages 


    Without batteries we wouldn't have anything portable really, and they really provide us a service that we take for granted. It's interesting . even though batteries are so big in our world, they still have to be advertised to us.

         Batteries ... But First these, messages.

 
    In the 1990's  Duracell envisioned a world  where plastic people obviously killed off all the humans and took over the world, but they had to be powered by batteries.  The Puttermans  appared in  Duracell ads between 1994 to 1996.

     

           I have some questions , how do they put the batteries in, or does someone have to put hte batteries in for them?
                Also batteries are their life force , yet the have to buy them?
                 Also did they kill that woman , or will they give her a new battery later?
          So many questions!

Hmm I think they killed her

                 

     

     In this world, even the pets are battery operated.  This is the future folks! Wake up ! (bonk on the head )

This bird later got a sitcom called Everybody loves Birdy. 

      That bird is annoying, was anyone else expecting one of them to take the battery out , I was kind of thinking that, maybe I have dark thoughts, it's that last commercial's fault!


       
 
      This commercial again makes me ask so many questions , like they can go in the water? Also the fish are battery powered , when they eat "meat" does that mean the batteries are taken and then they eat the food?

That's the face that's seen things

It's a Lookback , Charlie Brown : A Charlie Brown Celebration

 The Flashback  Peanuts 


            Charlie Brown needs to be celebrated so this was it.  "A Charlie Brown Celebration" is a Peanuts special from may of 1982 on the CBS network (of course).  It was an hour long special , which sparked CBS to pick up a new animated weekly series called "The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show".   This special is  pretty much a collection of Peanuts stories that would be too long to make a 30 minute (24 Minutes+ Commercials) special.  Also Charles Schulz himself introduces the special and  he explains how the special will work which is nice and handy.

  The segments have varying lengths  kind of like how Schulz explains his comic strips can be one timers or have a story line that runs for weeks. In other words this is like a celebration of Charlie Brown and the gang in animated form. 
   
       The first segment ,called School, is about a minute long with Sally doing her classic laments about school starting.  A short bump where Lucy tickles Snoopy and he falls of his dog house  and giggles some more.  Then it goes back to school ,but the time has skipped to the first day of school  with more laments about school by Sally Brown.   Then it's Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder in classes. Again it's just about another minute long.

That's not how you sit in a desk / Copyright Peanuts 

    The second segment is called Kite.  Charlie Brown does his famous kite flying and he gets caught in a tree. Then it turns  into a segment about Lucy and Linus talking about Edgar Allen Poe.  Charlie Brown does more kite flying  and gets everyone all tangled up.
                 

 All Tied up/ Copyright Peanuts 

    The third segment : Charlie Brown's School Days.  Back to school (wow!)   We have Linus in his class writing about learning to butter up a teacher.  This segment is about our main characters in school. 
                                 

Linus is right/ Copyright Peanuts 

    The Fourth segment is called "Sally" it's about Sally (of course) but there's  also get the Peanuts character, Eudora.  It takes place at camp and it's mostly about Eudora teasing Snoopy, whom Sally brought with her.
                             

Eudora in the Middle / Copyright Peanuts 

   The Fifth segment is called "Sally and Linus" which is about Lucy and Franklin. (alright I'm kidding just making sure you are paying attention)   Linus reads about his camping and gets to queen snakes which makes his teacher faint.  Sally has a hard time drawing a cow leg and complains and gets sent to the principal's office.
                                     

What are you in for? / Copyright Peanuts 

   The Sixth segment is called "Peppermint Patty".   Peppermint Patty is looking for a private school to attend. Because she's Peppermint Patty she thinks Snoopy is a human and so of course a suggestion was Ace Obedience school. (She was looking for a cheap private school so her father wouldn't have to spend so much.)  She tells Charlie Brown  he tries to explain it to her but of course she's Peppermint Patty, she doesn't listen to anyone.  She goes to the school and notices that everyone else has  a dog and that there are no desks.  Marcie asks her how was her day?  Apparently , Peppermint Patty didn't notice it was dog school. Charlie Brown tells Snoopy that Peppermint Patty is not going to be happy with the beagle when she finds out it's a school for dogs. (Ha ha when she finds out)  She's still at the school and apparently the school doesn't think this is strange at all. (What kind of world is this?)  She graduates. (Again what is this place?)  Also Marcie still doesn't tell her  but implies that she knows and just doesn't tell P.P.   Marcie the next day, tells her that the teacher has been asking where she has been.  She asks for attorney (Snoopy) to prove she has graduated , Snoopy of course is nervous because she may find out the truth now. (May)  Peppermint Patty does find out and looks for Snoopy. (probably to show him how she knows how fetch now)  She then gets into a fight with a cat the mean one who lives next door. (That escalated quickly) Peppermint Patty and Snoopy end up fighting World War 2 (the cat) and I think they lost. P.P goes back to people school.

 This was the longest segment so far.

 More after the jump

Look what the cat dragged in / Copyright Peanuts 

   The Seventh Segment :  Linus.   This one Linus and Sally are on a field trip. It's mostly Sally being annoyed by school some more.  Linus remembers the place they went before and then he is reunited to famous peanuts character, Truffles.  Sally gets jealous and she and Truffles start fighting over Linus.  He goes on the roof and he refuses to get down until they stop fighting.  Then he gets stuck.  She asks Snoopy and Woodstock to rescue him which I guess they do.

                         

Aww Luffles / Copyright Peanuts 

  The Eight Segment is Piano.  Lucy is doing her classic interact with Schroeder at his piano. She tells him how if they were married she would dust his piano every day. The she temps him for reaction by talking about Beethoven.   It's pretty much Lucy and Schroeder doing their normal segment.  Eventually she throws his Piano into the sewer. (not very nice) Charlie Brown helps him and they go down to where the water goes but it was a lost cause, so he buys a new one.
                                           

Then he threw her down the sewer / Copyright Peanuts 

   The Ninth Segment is called  Lucy , in this one Lucy in angry that she isn't thankful for anything, Linus tries to help. So he does something sweet and she cries.  Then Lucy has  Linus get fire wood  while she plays jokes on him and talks about  Abe Lincoln.  (random)
                                           

awwww/ copyright Peanuts 

     The Tenth segment : Peppermint Patty and Marcie.   Marcie doesn't really like playing baseball. She also recommends that they need caps. So she takes initiative  and tries to make some caps. They go through a cycle of caps that annoy Peppermint Patty.  P.P sees that a baseball team is having a free cap day for children, so her plan is to run through nine times to get nine caps. (Yes this plan has flaws we could point out.)  Marcie runs after the first cap , Peppermint Patty quits on her plan.
                             

Hmm fly ball/ Copyright Peanuts 

    The Eleventh segment, Charlie Brown.    Charlie Brown was pitching and he's feeling sick and decides to go home.  Charlie goes to the E.R by himself.  Sally can't find him and apparently decides that it's a good time to move into his room. (Long running Peanuts Gag)   Then she finds out that Chuck is in the hospital. (You maybe asking where the parents are, well Barber's picnic and C.B didn't want to bother them or know where it is or something.)  Meanwhile, Charlie Brown wonders if he's dead.  Everyone else is worried even Lucy. (Yes her too)  She even cries.  Peppermint Patty and Marcie are turned away at the hospital because they are too young. (This didn't stop Chuck and Linus in Why Charlie Brown Why,)  The Continuing theme of Marcie being in love with C.B continues she wants him to ask her to the prom in the future.   Lucy is unhappy when Charlie Brown's mom says he's not any better, and  promises that she would never pull the football away again if he gets away.   Then Charlie Brown gets better.  So the football thing happens and Charlie Brown doesn't kick the ball  and kicks her hand. (Darn it Schulz , darn it!)
                               

 The one where Charlie Brown doesn't die/ Copyright Peanuts 

    That's the special.  This was the first of three television specials for the Peanuts that featured multiple stories that others were : "It's and Adventure , Charlie  Brown" and "Snoopy the Musical"  but this was the first one.  I like the idea of taking some story lines that aren't long enough  to be  24 minutes long.  And none of the segments feel like they go on to long.  Since it's the peanuts there are alot of gags that made me laugh and there is of course some sweetness too.  It's great to see the variety of characters even including Eudora and Truffles is a nice touch.

  That's the special tune in next time when see how Truffles and Linus are doing now.
