...closest thing to a red-blooded, extroverted American youth Schulz created was a beagle. Not coincidentally, Peanuts hit superstardom after Snoopy adopted his World War I flying-ace persona, zooming into the lucrative blue yonder of endorsements and licensing. Snoopy electric toothbrushes and snack cakes--there's a little Woodstock in every Pikachu under your tree this year. And yet Schulz's Christmas special is a plea against commercialism, in which Charlie Brown nurses a desiccated Christmas tree (twig, really) to health...
...crash, a flare-up of inflation or even all these things together. In the unlikely event that the economy continues to show its remarkable combination of superfast growth, superlow unemployment and superlow inflation for another decade or so, and the stock market soars even further into the wild blue yonder, then this program could be softened.

To some, Cole's romance with Magdalena, an epileptic Mexican prostitute, will suggest the New Testament and a disorder once thought to be a gift from God. To others, the relationship of a young cowboy...
...choose between seeing her grandmother, who has cancer and may not survive an operation planned for the next day, or making her debut at the Grand Ole Opry. The show features Rimes' incredible pipes, a touch of the supernatural and plot twists you can see coming from way over yonder. Most intriguingly, Bernadette Peters has been cast as a big-haired Nashville legend. Bernadette Peters...
