a Charlie Brown Christmas right now. This is the one

(00:20):
that you got to kind of track down Apple TV. Yeah,
somehow watch it has the rights they bought it to it. Yeah,
and I don't know if you can track it down
anywhere else. But they did a couple free like times
you could watch it. There was some kind of an
arrangement that you had for the first couple of years.
You had to allow it on one of the networks
one time. Now I think Apple lets you get in
there for free to watch it, but then the time

(00:42):

Charlie Brown Christmas debuted. This is in the Do you
