a Charlie Brown Christmas page 17 by ric gustafson
CBS told Mendelson that the Christmas special did extremely well. It had a 45 market share. That meant that almost half the country tuned in. That came out to 15 million viewers or more. CBS President Frank Stanton called Charles Schulz personally to congradulate him.
The special received a George Foster Peabody award. It was up for an Emmy for outstanding children's program. It won the award.
Why did the special succeed when it should of failed?. Was it because of the beautiful music of Vince Guaraldi?. Was it the enchanting animation and art?. Was it the meaningful scenes?. Was it the Everyman Charlie Brown?. You decide.
The End.
