Yule Logged: The Odd Couple, Martin, Christmas Trade, Little Spirit: Christmas in New York, Christmas Flintstone, Smurfs, Bugs Bunny





The Odd Couple  -  Scrooge Gets an Oscar (1970)

One of the best  “A Christmas Carol“ tv episode adaptations. Of course, The Odd Couple is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, so I’m a little bit biased.




Martin -  Scrooge (1996)

Another Christmas Carol pastiche, this time with added Jackie Chan. Predictable but fun if you’re a fan of the show.





Christmas Trade (2015)

Bad body swap comedy. Just bad.






Little Spirit: Christmas in New York (2008)

Unwatchable garbage. I hope Danny Devito was unaware of how crappy this was going to be and sued the cretins responsible.





The Flintstones - Christmas Flintstone (1964)

Fred moonlights, eventually, as Santa in this terrific Christmas episode of the classic cartoon series.





The Smurfs -  Baby’s First Christmas (1983)

We’ve never been a smurf family so this holiday themed episode is pretty meh to me. If your a Smurfy sort, though, I’m certain you will enjoy it.





Bugs Bunny  The Fright Before Christmas (1979)

Not Bugs at his best. Pretty mediocre effort.not really worth watching.
