Is there going to be any animated Halloween programs for the children during the 13 Nights of Halloween? How about It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (yes, I know this is shown on network TV, but why not here too), Garfield's Halloween Adventure, The Worst Witch, Animated version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, or Disney Halloween cartoons?
