How Has "ALF" Aged?

Spoiler alert....
NOT GOOD.
ALF is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from September 22, 1986, to March 24, 1990.
The titular character, ALF, an acronym for "Alien Life Form", but whose real name is Gordon Shumway, crash-lands in the garage of the suburban middle-class Tanner family.[3] The series stars Max Wright as father Willie Tanner, Anne Schedeen as mother Kate Tanner, and Andrea Elson and Benji Gregory as their children, Lynn and Brian Tanner. ALF was performed by puppeteer Paul Fusco, who co-created the show with Tom Patchett. However, in scenes where he appeared in full body, he was performed by Michu Meszaros, who was uncredited in the role.
Produced by Alien Productions, ALF ran for four seasons and 99 episodes, including four one-hour episodes ("Try to Remember", "ALF's Special Christmas", "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Tonight, Tonight"). These episodes were divided into two parts for syndication, for a total of 102 episodes. The series ended in an unresolved cliffhanger, but a television film, Project: ALF, was later made and served as a series finale for the franchise.
In August 2018, Warner Bros. Television announced the development of an ALF reboot, which was later canceled in November of that year. In February 2022, it was announced that Shout! Studios had acquired distribution rights to the ALF titles, and would "develop new ALF-related content" with the company Maximum Effort subsequently joining in July 2023 to develop new material as well.

As Millhouse once said: "It's ALF! Remember ALF? He's back. In Pog form." That line cracked me up because I was also into Pogs during that brief period when they were the biggest thing in the world.

Oh my gosh Pogs were the best!! I don’t know why they were so fun haha what even was the point of pogs?!😂

@@howitsaged Apparently, they were for some game that no-one knew the rules for.

"Freshly squeezed Cat juice"..... What a delicacy.. Just the thing for refreshment according to Alf?
This was a great show, that I will always remember? Made popular again in "Young Sheldon" as Missy (Sheldon's twin sister) was a great fan of Alf? He even made a "Guest appearance" in an episode of this show quite recently... That says a lot about how well the character is loved, and has not aged at all in his demeanor !!

Wow, thank you for the added context and this comment! I honestly knew like nothing about ALF going into it so maybe I have to give an earlier episode a watch!

[@sjmeola]

[@howitsaged]

Thank you so much!! I’m going to try to be consistent and not have a year gap between content😂 I appreciate the comment!

I just got this recommended, As someone who grew up watching this show, it's nice to see someone find it.
Also the joke at 2:15 is a reference to the WW2 based show "Hogans Heroes"
