How old were you the first time you saw Scrooged?


I must've been 5-6, we had recorded it off USA and it was in between Mickey's Christmas Carol and Rudolph on the tape, so it never occurred to me it wasn't for kids, probably 90% of everything went over my head, never understood all the freaky stuff going on with the ghosts but a lot of it creeped me out, especially when the first ghost picks Frank up in the cab and the locks come off the doors, etc, that to me was creepy. Lew's 7 year rotted corpse didn't really bother me, though as a kid I always thought when his hand snapped off those loose skin things flying through the air looked like chicken meat. Ew. But I knew Ghostbusters, I knew Ghostbusters 2 so I knew Bill Murray, or rather I knew him as Peter Venkman, so I loved the movie.

I saw it when it was in the theater, haven't seen it since, the only part I remember being funny is when Murray wanted to use a stapler to keep the antlers from falling off a hamster or something.

6 or 7....whenever it was released on the C-Band satellite channel 1st Choice.

It's on TV right now, but I've never given it a proper watch. Doesn't seem very good, from what I've seen thus far, although I did see a portion of it the other night. Same feeling, it doesn't quite seem very appealing.
