"You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown"

Written by Charles M. Schulz.

Special Peanuts/Election Day Review: You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown.

Cast
Chad Webber as Charlie Brown, Stephen Shea as Linus van Pelt, Robin Kohn as Lucy van Pelt, Hilary Momberger as Sally Brown, Todd Barbee as Russell Anderson, Linda Ercoli as Violet, Brian Kazanjian as Schroeder, Bill Melendez as Snoopy/Woodstock. Directed by Bill Melendez.

Review
You're Not Elected is also a good special, with Linus once again being the main character. The special has humor that again mixes in to the plot, making it an interest and a treat to watch. It's amazing how you can make a special about Election Day and yet still make it seem unpolitical that it works single handily.

Overall, I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

"Doctor Who: The Deadly Assassin"

Directed by David Maloney

Review: The Deadly Assassin.

Cast
Tom Baker (4th Doctor), Peter Pratt (The Master), Bernard Horsfall (Chancellor Goth), Erik Chitty (Engin), George Pravda (Castellan Spandrell), and Angus MacKay (Borusa)

Review
I decided to do this review as a special treat for Halloween, doing a Doctor Who review. While this is a story for TV, it's a serial first (Parts almost at 24 mintues long), which convinced me to make a review of the classic serial. Anyway, this serial is the first to introduce us to the planet Gallifrey, home of the Time Lords. I like how the society is so...alien. They're aliens that look human (Though the Doctor 35 years later states Humans look Time Lord), yet they act so different from us. It's a fascinating serial that has good acting and a well balanced plat. The Master looks very skelelton like, considering he has run out of regenerations, and he will die soon (Until JNT decides to return him 5 years later...) This story is a classic that you will love because it does its job of telling a story, and then some more. And to the people who complained of the "torture" at Episode 3 in the 70's, ironic how everyone thinks its perfectly fine now. I guess we've evolved in that sense..

Overall, I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

"Here Comes Peter Cottontail"

Written by Thornton Burgess and Romeo Mueller.

Review: Here Comes Peter Cottontail.

Cast

Casey Kasem as Peter Cottontail, Danny Kaye as Seymour Sassafrass and Antione, and Vincent Price as January Q. Irontail. Directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.

Review

This special is over 40 years ago, and like other Rankin-Bass specials, it still holds up. The story is simple, yet a bit intreging.. Vincent Price steals the show with him doing his booming voice. My only question of this special is if you go back in time and stop the events of Irontail's rise, wouldn't it cause a paradox? Then again, this is a special, so it's not meant to be giant in scale and all. Good songs, allright story make a good special.

Overall, I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
