Usually no one but Linus believed there was a Great Pumpkin, but once Charlie Brown stated that he heard on the radio that the GP appeared in a pumpkin patch owned by someone named Freeman in New Jersey.

More for your Dad and Me." So, yeah... I had to try a lot of things that didn't impress me at first glance. But on the plus side, I didn't grow up to be super-finicky about food. Hey, Kids!
