So I watched it on youtube this year.
A friend recommended BBC A Christmas Carol Gone Wrong. It is free through Amazon on Roku TV with ads, but I think it is also on youtube. I watched it tonight and it was hilarious. It is under an hour, but the ads made it longer than I wanted it to be. I should have watched on youtube, since I have youtube premium no ads.

I was wrong, it's not the Sims version; the TCM CC playing this year is the 1938 version with Reginald Owen. Bummer. I may have to watch the Sims version on YT shortly. (Mr. H is becoming violently opposed to continuing to "pay" for TV in any form--whether it's Netflix, Hulu, etc. because it's all so much crap. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily saying he doesn't have a point, but I confess to considering paying for YT Red or whatever they call that. See if I could imagine switching over from DirectTV and all that.) @mlewis, you have the Youtube paid subscription, is that right? You like it?
I'm...boggled that it seems that Amazon Prime is going to ADS? For everything? Is that right? Anybody know? Because that will be the end of Prime at my house, for video, that's a fact. Mr. H will not do ads, period, end statement, end of discussion and honestly, I'm not far behind him. It's bad enough we're paying decent money for stuff that's 20, 30, 50, 60+ years old and in some cases, 90. And paying for network Telly reruns (like...oh, MSW, and that sort of thing) is pretty boggling. Was a time you couldn't give reruns away and now they charge for them. sigh.
