While the rest of America is celebrating the resurgence of the Peanuts with \u201cThe Peanuts Movie,\u201d those that want an education in to the appeal of the series can pick up Warner\u2019s latest release. While the holiday series from the Peanuts are typically timeless and quite iconic, the Peanuts has also earned themselves plenty of Emmy nominations and a few wins with some non-holiday themed Charlie Brown specials that are also quite good in their own right. Warner releases over four hours of Charlie Brown specials on a two DVD set that is so worth the pick up. Especially if you\u2019re a hardcore Peanuts fans like yours truly.<\/p>\n
