I may be in the minority here, but a lot of the acting in this episode seems rather stilted and lacking in emotion. I don't know why, but everything about this particular adaptation seems rushed and a bit off somehow. (This is just my personal opinion.) I love CBSRMT in general, so I'm not criticizing the series, which is my favorite radio series of all time! But this particular episode is not one of my favorites. (I don't mind listening though.)

Here's a thought, the actor on who often plays misers on CBSRMT would have made the best Scrooge ever! I can't remember his name, but he often plays cruel men who are in control of people's debts. He would have been the absolute perfect Scrooge, so I don't know why they didn't cast him in that role. Ralph Bell would have been my second choice for that particular part, since he is great at playing dark, sarcastic characters.
