A CHRISTMAS CAROL
AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET
Made for CBS as a holiday telemovie in 1984, this version of the Charles Dickens classic story is one of the best. It’s got Frank Finlay as Jacob Marley, and David Warner as Bob Cratchit, but really soars because George C. Scott is perfectly cast as the snarling, scowling Ebenezer Scrooge. Great Scott!
