Social Media Reacts to 'A Christmas Story Live'

Matthew Broderick
Matthew Broderick is the biggest name in the show, but he's not immune to criticism.
Hot Dad
Viewers were thrown off by Chris Diamantopoulos, since we don't expect to see "The Old Man" played by a younger actor.
Ralphie Reactions
Andy Walken is only 11 years old, and has never had a starring role before. He's impressed many viewers.
Then again, Walken has his critics, too.
Ralphie to the Rescue
The "Ralphie to the Rescue" number, with parts done in black and white, was a favorite for many.
Maya Rudolph
The Maya Rudolph fans turned out in droves for A Christmas Story Live, especially those who also love 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski.
Songs - Good or Bad?
It looks like many A Christmas Story fans aren't aware that there is a Broadway musical. These songs weren't added just for Fox's show.
Hate-Watching
Some Twitter users just checked in to "hate watch." It's not clear why someone who hates musicals would tune into this, but they did.
'The Greatest Showman' Preview
During one of the commercial breaks, Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman and Zendaya performed a live commercial to promote the movie The Greatest Showman. For some, this was the best part of the broadcast.
