Poll question: $40 for Charlie Brown holiday 3-pack

* Great Pumpkin
* Thanksgiving
* Xmas

Each episode being 25 minutes in length.

$40 for 74 minutes. That's needless gouging.

If they are strictly the cartoons, no commercials, no ads - yes, I'd pay $40 for that. I think I might pay $100 for the opportunity to see, at will, some of the best memories of my childhood.

Edit: Throw in How The Grinch Stole Christmas and I'd pay $150.

2. Given how sponsors paid for it in the first place,

I think $40 is way too pricey and you're being exploited.

And a big part of the price of the products you pay for go to sponsoring tv shows.

We've paid in already.

I'd pay $20 for the packaging and restoration, but $40 is overkill.

3. We're looking at it from different angles.

Me? I don't care about any "exploitation." The way I see it I'm not being exploited by making this purchase.*

I am getting unencumbered memories. I haven't been able to watch these specials for years.

* This is actually available? Where? ;)
