@scroogepod.bsky.social re Mr Scrooge to See You Glad they don’t make homeless a focus of laughs. My thoughts immediately went to Scrooged where Bill Murray has to learn compassion from rather cartoonish homeless folk. Looking forward to the 11-movie Muppet retrospective @collinmurr.bsky.social

It's my first epsiode on a sequel to A Christmas Carol. MISTER SCROOGE TO SEE YOU involves time travel, Christianity, fish out of water jokes, and a very unsettling reveal at the end.

Did you ever wonder what a faith-based sequel to A Christmas Carol about a time traveling Ebenezer Scrooge starring the host of Supermarket Sweep would look like? If you did, that’s really specific… but I will be covering it on this month’s episode.

People love to casually throw around terms like "worst Christmas Carol," because they presumably haven't seen the one where Scrooge keeps forgetting the word "humbug," interacts only with nightmare puppets, and sings a rip-off of "Money" by Pink Floyd.

Hahah I mentioned this on my episode on it! I thought Benny made way more sense too. Someone informed me recently that there was a WC Fields revival in pop culture at the time for whatever reason, so maybe that’s why.

I'm glad a professional agrees. The thing that gets me is he did it as a comedy album in the 60s, with Jack Benny as Scrooge. now THAT is a good choice of Scrooge. But why WC Fields in the HBO special?!

No, you're right. That was the hardest to get through, and it's the one I'd want to rewatch the least.

No the worst one is Rich Little's Christmas Carol he did for HBO. I admit I'm no expert though.

Ah yeah, I don't even give American Carol the dignity of counting as an adaptation. Different holiday, opposite message, etc. 😂

An American Carol makes me angrier than any other version I've seen, though I'll admit I haven't done the faux-Muppet one yet.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Podcast @scroogepod.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

If you don't think that's the worst Christmas Carol, you can try the one with such a small animation budget that they make the characters shadows on a wall or just a moving mustache.

140

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Podcast @scroogepod.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

That's not why it's the worst Christmas Carol, though. It's the worst Christmas Carol because he plays a Muppet song, makes it look like HIS puppet is singing it, and doesn't credit it at the end.
