Good grief! We could really use some advice from Lucy to get us through this news.

Your favorite classic “Peanuts” animations, including “It’s a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” will no longer air on broadcast television.

Americans first met the “Peanuts” gang on their TV screens back in 1966, but it has been taken off programming for the first time in more than 50 years.

Apple TV+ announced that it has exclusively secured the rights for all things “Peanuts” related.
