Rich Little's Christmas Carol

Rich Little's Christmas Carol is a 1978 retelling of the Dickens story. It is a one-man performance with Rich Little playing all the roles impersonating famous people. Not my thing. I don't care for impersonators, I'm not a W.C. Fields fan and he's Scrooge, there's a lame laugh track... I found it too painful to finish.

  2. I remember Rich Little. I'm with you about laugh tracks. Sometimes the older shows and films are better off staying in the vault. Happy new week Nita.

  3. One of the reasons I never watch comedies is they have the horrible laugh tracks. I somehow feel if the line is presented properly, and the visual clues are there, you don't need a laugh track. I am so far behind now, but I have bookmarked this to watch when I have 50 minutes.

  4. Rich Little was so talented and I always l liked him but I found this a little disappointing, too. And I agree about the laugh tracks. They just don't work!

    1. He was so popular! I googled him, and he's 83 now and apparently still performs.
