Maggie Smith is amazing. She doesn't have to utter a word - just one look and you know exactly what she wants you to know. Love her!! Can't wait for Downton Abbey!!
A holiday tribute to the morose, the moneygrubbing and the
misunderstood
By Robert Isenberg Special to MSN TV
Ebenezer Scrooge. When we hear the
name, we shudder. We picture a crabby old man bent over his ledger, counting up
piles of money. He doesn't like Christmas, he doesn't ... more want to go caroling, and,
if there's one thing he can't stand, it's other people.
TV is full of villains and jerks, but it takes a special character to be
called a true "Scrooge." When Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol," he proved that
even callous geezers are sometimes just sad and lonely. Scrooges have to be
unpleasant and mean-spirited, but they also have to show that glimmer of warmth.
Bad guys rarely make good, but Scrooges still have a shot at turning around
their cantankerous selves.
In the holiday spirit, we present some of our favorite TV Scrooges -- the
morose, the moneygrubbing and the misunderstood.
