It's Your Golden Anniversary, Charlie Brown

After over 15 years as a daily newspaper comic strip, the characters of Peanuts "came to life" 50 years ago today when A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on CBS stations across the USA. The Thursday evening broadcast was quickly produced for less than $100,000, used child voice actors, had a jazz musical score and was expected to be a "one use - throw away" failure. Little did they know that it would become an annual television event and was a "special" event before the days when most homes had video tape recorders. 
Last month a new computer-generated Peanuts movie was released to cinemas which followed a long line of animated features since A Charlie Brown Christmas fifty years ago.
I managed to fit the first 14 Peanuts films (and a couple other files) onto a disc while maintaining a compression bitrate of just over 1000.
