Tiny Toon Adventures did a marvelous spoof of "It's a Wonderful Life"
in a prime-time TV special.

Actually it was in the 3rd season (in color) where Charles Lane played Mr. Mortimer, all business, no Christmas spirit, bitter man that was shown the light by Samantha in that Christmas Carol fashion.

FOL in its last season did the IAWL thing with Cloris Leachman's Beverly Ann wishing she had never came to Peekskill.

Beavis and Butt-head did a parody of both in the same hourlong episode.

"THE SIX-MILLION DOLLAR MAN" did a parody of "A Christmas carol" once.

"QUANTUM LEAP" did a sort of parody of "A Christmas carol once" when Sam was the valet of a millionaire who didn't believe in Christmas and was mean to people. They found that he was able to see Al (I think it was because of a chemical in his brain) so Al adjusted his settings so the guy couldn't see him, then he and Sam decided to "Scrooge him" so Al readjusted his settings so the guy could see him.

The soap opera "The Young & The Restless" did one with Victor Newman.

Has anyone seen Disney's A Christmas Carol that stars Jim Carrey??

My granddaughter's wants to see it but I wanted to get some input before buying the DVD. (They are 10 and 12)

Thanks!
