Description
This is one of several overdue 80s tributes I had coming.
On September 22, 1986, courtesy of Paul Fusco and Tom Patchett, NBC broadcast a primetime sitcom series called ALF. The premise of the show was a friendly Melmackian alien creature named Gordon Shumway, nicknamed "ALF" (an acronym for "Alien Life Form"), followed a radio signal to Earth and crash-landed in the garage of the Tanner family (not that Tanner family) and now became an extra-terrestrial lodger.
ALF was one of the last shows of its kind; it was a series that pushed friendly social values and family dynamics before a show like Married with Children would come along and do anything for a laugh.
The series ran for 4 seasons, ending on a cliffhanger. However, this was to tie-in to a TV-movie Project ALF, which was meant to end the series properly.
ALF had plenty of merchandising opportunities, including having a cartoon series spin-off called ALF Tales. He would even go on to appear in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
Recently, he resurfaced to air on the Hub. I did hear that Paul Fusco said he was pitching a new ALF movie as a live-action/CGI hybrid filmthanks to Sony.
Happy 30th ALF!
