Scrooge Gets an Oscar

Scrooge Gets an Oscar is an episode of the 1970s Odd Couple TV series. I enjoy it when a TV series has an episode devoted to the Scrooge story.

    I hadn't seen this one, but like you say,almost every show had its version at one time or another. They were almost always fun.

      It's so adaptable to the series characters, whatever the series.

    I'd only heard of this show (series), but never saw it as a child. I loved the Christmas past Christmas tree and the support hose stocking at the end. What fun. I'm SO glad you are sharing these Christmas Carol takes.

    BTW, you are right about the words to my Gloria post today. Those are the words I also originally learned.

      This series aired from 70-75, and I didn't watch it back then. I've seen the movie (though I didn't see it when it was released) so I was familiar with the concept and the characters. Some of those 70s-era tv shows haven't aged well, have they. I guess that's true of most tv shows. It's just not the same, seeing them decades later.

    I didn't like this one as much as the others. Valerie

      This is definitely a product of its time. It hasn't aged nearly as well as some of the others.

    Appropriately Odd Couple silly. I watched this show most of the time but didn't remember this one. :)

      TV series still often have Christmas episodes, but I haven't seen a "Christmas Carol" one in a while.

      It's been ages since I've seen this, and I'm sorry not to remember. I did find a web site that lists these as appearing in the episode: “Jingle Bells,” “Deck the Halls,” “Joy to the World,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”
