Happy Halloween, every- body! We’ll celebrate by showcasing five TV examples of that orange, fleshy fruit that graces so many front porches this time of year.

v Pumpkin: What Honey Boo Boo calls her 12-year-old sister, Lauryn, on “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”

v The Great Pumpkin: From the vintage “Peanuts” special (which airs today): It’s a holiday icon (like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny) who really exists, swears Linus Van Pelt. And so Linus spends Halloween in the pumpkin patch waiting for him to show up.

v The Slutty Pumpkin: Katie Holmes played this guest character on “How I Met Your Mother,” a woman who had been Ted’s (Josh Radnor) longtime obsession after he first spotted her in a provocative pumpkin costume at a Halloween party.

v “Punkin’ Chunkin”: Science Channel special featuring folks who love to turn their pumpkins into projectiles.

vSmashing Pumpkins: Billy Corgan’s alt-rock band has been the musical guest several times on “Saturday Night Live.”

“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” (8 p.m., ABC): We sincerely hope that this will be the year when Linus finally makes his annual Halloween vigil pay off in “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” But we’re not counting on it.

“face off” (10 p.m., syfy): After letting their imaginations run wild, the final three finalists on “Face Off” find out who came out on top in the battle of special-effects makeup artists. Audience voting determines the winner.
