Where's the fun?! Not once in the entire Christmas Carol portion is Magoo really Magoo. I mean he's counting stacks of coins for crying out loud! Somehow Magoo is able to give a brilliant performance on stage, but once he's off he's back to walking into the women's' dressing room?! What gives?! Honestly, what's the point of having a Magoo special if you're not going to take advantage of the comic possibilities? Why not just do a non-Magoo version and save me the disappointment? (Gerald McBoing-Boing as Tiny Tim is irritating too, but still not as bad as Magoo.)
And the "razzleberry dressing" and "wooflejelly" stuff simply made me want to beat little Gerald McBoing-Boing to a pulp. Seriously, I can see myself walloping Tiny Tim with his own cane as we speak.
A lot of people have told me they have fond memories of this special, including the librarian that recommended it to me (curse you librarian!), but for the life of me I can't fathom why - Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol is about the least special Christmas special I've ever seen.
Bah humbug!
