A holiday TV special titled “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” that has aired since 1973, has made news around the world after some viewers took to Twitter to point out elements of a scene that they thought to be in bad taste, or even racist. Following the complaints, other Twitter users responded to clarify the situation.
The 22-minute special first aired on Nov. 20, 1973, on CBS, and was aired there every year until 2000. In 2001 it moved to ABC and has continued to air annually, around Thanksgiving day. Its latest airing was on Nov. 21.
