Charlie Brown Native Ad, Peanuts 50th Anniversary
ABC is criticized for running "native ads" disguised as news stories to promote the 50th anniversary of "The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." The hosts describe the promotion of Peanuts-themed corn mazes across the country as a corporate synergy tactic. They express their personal dislike for the Charlie Brown specials, calling them boring and outdated.
