ALF...

..anyone remember this sit-com....loved it , way before its time, anytime i watch American dad i think of ALF and wonder why it has never been repeated (to my knowledge).....:rolleyes:

I think it had a reasonable syndication run after it's cancellation.

At the time, i thought it was pretty amusing, but it's a long long time since i've watched it.

My guess is that it probably hasn't aged well.

I was watching it again on Youtube recently and it still held up well imo. Of course it looks a little dated but it was still funny. I was a massive fan when it originally aired. I got myself a big talking ALF in New York a couple of years ago,yes i'm still a big kid!:D

the purple tin

Yes, I used to quite like it. I got an ALF jigsaw one christmas.
Wasn't he constantly trying to eat the family cat?

mikemac

Didn't he eat cats?
That shocked me as a child :eek:

I still remember it years later

There was a great parody of Alf on Channel 4 called "There's A Puppet Living In My House", which was part of a series of satires of US sitcoms.

Another one was "I'm Bland But My Friends Are Crazy".

Do you remember the commotion caused by Hale & Pace when they microwaved a cat?!:eek:

ALF's body is covered with a ginger/rust-colored fur (he once described his color as burnt sienna). He has a rippled snout, facial moles, eight stomachs, his heart is apparently located in his head, and he likes to burp, eat cats, can whistle without opening his mouth and had a best friend on his home planet named Malhar Naik.

ALF finds that, despite his occasional attempts to catch Lucky the family cat with the intention of making the cat a meal,

I knew it!
After all these years I remember as a kid being shocked at a TV show which had a character trying to kill and eat cats. Terrible for a kid to see this :eek:

However, these kids nowadays, they'd wouldn't be shocked at anything.

How innocent we were

Mackman

There's a channel on Foxtel (satellite) here in Oz that shows Alf. it hasnt aged well IMO. A bit funny, but not nearly as good as you remember it to be.

Rosanne though, now there's a show that still stands up today. One of the best IMO

Aglomerado

"I don't eat salad, it's food that food eats!"

I'd love to see some of these again!

Jesus i have not heard that name since the 90s when i was 5 or 6 remember my dad showing me that on tape and us laughing, That was shortly followed by the fat man blowing up in monty pythons meaning of life,

I completly forgot how Alf sounded until I watched that outtakes video. He sounds a bit like jerry Seinfeld!

ALF originally stood for Alien Life Form, growing up
in the neighbouring estate there was a Kid that got the nick-name ALF. He was about Alfs height at the time but
me thinks the A.L.F. was short for A Little Fat.
