Cats were a delicasy on Alfs planet, that's why he wanted to eat it. Married with childen did have some great lines.

 

Bud : Kelly, spell " Off " ( he's burnt looking and smoke is rising from his head )

Kelly looking sheepish and turning away )  O... something.

Alf was great.  Imagine the networks trying to put out a show like that today?  But then again, I Dream of Jeannie, Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, et al, all shows firmly rooted in reality

[diymirage]

so im watching this episode where they all go camping

ALF sneaks out and wonders into this cabin

two rednecks come in and find him and so he pretends to be an anteater

well' they're still fixing to kill him so one of em walks out the room to go get the salad ready

ALF reasons with the other guy and when the first guy comes back the other ones rats ALF out and says

"he's a talking anteater but i wouldnt listen to a word he says, hes sneaky i think he's from the city"

the first guy just looks at him and says "we need to get you a woman"

To sink even deeper into the depths of nerd-dom, do any of you remember seeing the cartoon ALF show? It chronicled Gordon Shumway's adventures on Melmac, before he came to Earth.

[Edsel-Dan]

Watched Both series!!

Wish they were on again.

I Think the Original series is available on DVD, but not the Cartoon.

I seem to remember reading recently that there was plans to produce an ALF movie, with the same puppeteer to play and voice ALF!

[Steve Milberry]

I remember the show well. [and the cartoon] The government got him in the end.

 

My favorite sitcom is "Titus" though.

[midnightprowler]

I loved ALF. There was a made for tv movie done a couple of decades ago.

[Deathgoblin]

My wife still has her ALF doll from when the show was on.  She had it in the hospital with her both times she had open heart surgery, the first time when she was 10, and last year just for good luck. 

[Olskoolrodder]

No sitcom can ever equal the greatness of "Green Acres!"

 

Oliver: What is that?

Lisa: It's hot water soup!

Oliver: Hot water soup??!!

Lisa: Yes! Soup made out of hot water.

Oliver: That's it??? Just hot water???

Lisa: Of course! What else would you put in hot water soup?

Ditto.  And his standup acts are awesome, as well. The best part of his sitcom? His real-life father gave the actor playing him tips on how to play him more convincingly.

I think ALF was the really last funny TV comedy, along with some of the other shows of that era, like Mr. Belvidere, Full House, Boy Meets World, and similar programs.

 

Great shows that weren't too confrontational or overtly offensive. A little coarse comedy every so often is okay, but too much lessens your humanity and sends wrong messages to our youth.

 

And I do remember the ALF cartoon, it was on when I was in high school or about my freshman year in college. I enjoyed that, too.
