How many different adaptations have there been?

When I say 'adaptations' I mean updated versions which are set in the present day, I can only think of a few:
Ebbie, starring Susan Lucci as Ebbie Scrooge
A Diva's Christmas Carol, starring Vanessa Williams as Ebony Scrooge
A Carol Christmas, Starring Tori Spelling as Carol Cartman

Also there was An American Christmas Carol starring Henry Winkler which was set in New England during the Great Depression ,

Also various TV Sitcoms have redone 'A Christmas Carol' so can anyone name a few more?

A Christmas Carol (2000), with Ross Kemp as Eddie Scrooge, a loan shark. That was set in present day London.

Cicely Tyson did one, 'Ms. Scrooge'.

Mr Magoo also did an hour long television version. It's one of the best. I believe it was the early 60's, before drinking began to interfere with his work.

I'm pretty sure episodes of "Bonanza", "Father Knows Best", "The Twilight Zone", and many other tv shows have done versions of "A Christmas Carol".
