This was a great disappointment. On paper this sounded brilliant. Watching it all the way through was excruciating. I wanted to bail on several occasions but persisted through to the finale.
I know this is a spoof of a cheesy1970's Christmas special, so was it purposely badly written to amp up the cheesy factor? Or just badly written?
The majority of the jokes fall flat and just aren't funny to begin with. Most of the performers are over the top and just embarrassing to watch.
I gave three stars because of the actors portraying Paul Lynde and Liberace. The Paul Lynde managed to be snarky but not mean, just like the real Paul Lynde, plus he had the voice and mannerisms down pat. The Liberace was amazing - he looked and sounded like Liberace plus appeared to be an extremely talented pianist.
I would recommend this only for the Paul Lynde and Liberace impersonations but otherwise it was an excruciatingly long hour.
