So this has the same star and it was co-written by one of the writers of Scrooged. (Murray and Coppala co-wrote this with Mitch Glazer who co-wrote Scrooged with Michael O'Donoghue) It is directed by Sophia Copala who directed Lost In Translation. So if you want a slightly dark holiday special with irony that stars Bill Murray and includes a fair amount of singing and pop up guest stars like TV Christmas specials did in the 60's and 70's then you should like this show. I found it entertaining and so did those who watched it with me. (FYI-We ranged in ages of 57 to 23 years old.)
I read all these reviews that this was not what they were expecting. Well people look at who created and star in the product to get an idea of what to expect.
