"A Charlie Brown Christmas" first aired on this day in history, Dec. 9, 1965, and was an instant success, despite concerns from network executives over a scene that quoted the New Testament.
CBS executives were underwhelmed by the slow pace of the production; and the network had battled behind the scenes with "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz over the inclusion of a scene lifted straight from the New Testament. "Nearly half of American television sets had watched what the network thought would be a flop." — Smithsonian Magazine Charlie Brown is ordered to find "a great big shiny aluminum Christmas tree … maybe painted pink" to set the holiday spirit.
