(I had a thread on this topic yesterday. The END TIMES are truly here! I'll be in my bomb shelter should anyone need me. Knock three times when the show is cancelled, ok?)

5. Yes, by God, you did have a thread on this yesterday
DUPE!!

Alf the show WAS kinda funny, but giving him a spot as a talk show host is just, well, sort of another sign that American "culture", suffering as it was, is just one more notch further down the ladder to hell.

Even when he wasn't.

Alex Toth. That's all I need to say.

6. 'permanent midnight' w/ ben stiller
is about the story of one of alf's writers and his fall from grace due to drug addiction

they couldn't use alf in the movie (copyrights, i guess) but there's an alf-like puppet that turns up in the dream sequences

marginally interesting tidbit about an otherwise shitty movie

8. Alf is a lot better choice for host than denass miller.
Hope he's funny.

12. They did that in the final season. No wonder it was the final season.
The early years were silly and cute, especially with the wacky neighbors... The father Max looked rather like my counselor.

But outing Alf and making him a celeb... just as bad as that awful cartoon show they made from it, along with Punky Brewster to keep the kids when the adults ran from those shows in droves.

It's acceptable these days.
