Watching it right now on NBC. Is it our next Christmas tradition, or the next Star Wars Holiday Special?

It is sort of like a cross between the original cartoon and the musical _Annie_.

That was terrible. The songs were bad and the plotting terrible. We made it to the second commercial break and my 5 year old asked if we could turn it off and put on Big Bang Theory.
We watched Santa Paws 2 the other night which may be the worst thing I’ve ever seen otherwise I’d have wose things to say.

I watched for only a few minutes because I’m a fan of the Grinch - the original and the Jim Carrey version. I wanted to see what they did with it. I am not a fan of musicals so this wasn’t for me.

I tried watching it but got bored. I think if I’d seen it live I might have enjoyed it.

We lasted 10 minutes. Piece of crap.
