I just read a review from THREE YEARS AGO which said it was way past it's sell by date.  Most really good comedy writers KNOW when to cut and run but sad old Brendan is a one trick pony with nowhere else to go.  I did enjoy it for many years but if anyone has watched any of his other Christmas Specials 🤣 there's no need to watch tonight. 

Saw a review that said "promised heartwarming delivered heartburn" 🤣

IF that was the case it could easily be edited out.  More like it's the same repetitive stuff he's been churning out foe years and there's little interest hence the "graveyard shift" time slot.  PS I just read a report there was a racism issue a few months ago, sorry, I misread your post.
