I can't believe how bad this is... Kesley Grammer in NBC's Christmas carol

1. I can.

I love the original, of course...but my favorite remake is the one with Patrick Stewart! Awesome!!

2. Switch to Boston Legal, it's a lot more fun

[autorank]

3. I wouldn't even want to be on the same coast as him.

The guy emanates ... ugh

[Fenris]

4. Kelsey Grammar in anything is a reason not to watch that program.

The man is a tool and a shitty actor.:)

[Melodybe]

6. he is also one of the few repug actors

big Bush supporter, I couldn't stand him before cause I look down on middle age men marrying 15 year younger playboy models, and Kelsey has married three of them. After I found out about him being a repug it solidified my disdain for the man.

I'm happy to report that every other Cheers cast member is a democrat, George Wendt "Norm" recently did something for votergate, if I recall.

Blech Kelsey makes me ill.

10. Remember when he was making dirty phone calls to the 16 year old...

daughter of friends? Big scandal about a dozen years ago. I assume $$$ changed hands to make the problem go away. Apparently, there were tape recordings of the calls. I imagine that he found it impossible to deny that the ridiculous, pompous THESPIAN voice on the tapes was him.

8. After he gets through chewing up the scenery, I guess he can start...

on the goose

5. Isn't that a musical?

Musicals always suck. It's a rule.

14. BLASPHEMY!!!!

Les Misérables is the greatest achievement of humankind.

Master of the house
quick to catch your eye
never wants a passerby
to pass him by

Servant to the poor
Butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher
And life-long great!

Everbody's boon companion
Everbody's chaperone!

But lock up your valises Jesus!
Won't I skin you to the bone

[Mojambo]

16. Ehh.

Not for me I guess.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. I saw the ad a few days ago...reminded me of another "remake" classic

...David "Starsky & Hutch" Soul as "Rick" in the 1983 (and I use this term loosely) "remake" of "Casablanca."



:scared:

9. That "ball" was over the top....what kind of dancing was that

supposed to be??? Jeez....this MUST be an American production....they never get these period pieces right..UGH!!!!!

[Nikepallas]

11. Kelsey is an excellent actor and proved a great singer but THIS version

did nothing for me.

[justgamma]

12. I love musicals

and I love Scrooge. Couldn't wait to watch this. Bad music, bad acting and bad scenery.
Did you see the ghost of Christmas past, in skimpy clothes, doing the pole dance on the bed.LOL

Had to watch Boston Public. Good old Al Sharpton came to the rescue again.

13. When I saw this post the first thing I thought of was

the 1988 movie Scrooged with Bill Murray. Sounds like NBC is going all Scrooged on a Christmas Carol. :)

Somethings should just be left alone.

15. I lasted about seven minutes before I threatened to blow out the screen.

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

17. Bad Grammer ruins new production of English Classic n/t

[gmoney]

18. Reminds me of the "joke" version in Scrooged

...with Buddy Hackett as Scrooge and Mary Lou Retton as Tiny Tim, featuring the Solid Gold Dancers.

"You can hardly see dem nipples..."

"Kids. Love. An acrobat."

19. What Do You Expect???

It also starred Jason Alexander, the sure sign of a sucky production.
