4. Is it humanly possible to watch all the versions without your brain turning to razzleberry dressing?

One source I found claims there are 135 versions out there. And I'm not even sure that covers all the episodic TV series using the plot, like "The Odd Couple" Scrooge Gets an Oscar (TV Episode 1970)

After Oscar refuses to be Scrooge in a children's play, his poker buddies come to him in a dream giving him the Christmas Carol treatment.
