It appears it has continually aired on various stations even to the present day, and it has had multiple DVD releases...appears it is also on multiple streaming services. Most shows don’t have that kind of a shelf life. Anyway, his residual checks were probably a bit more than 10 cents given the most recent DVD release was in 2023, the streaming services have to pay for the rights to carry it, and the TV stations that air it likewise.

Yeah. A puppet got away with saying some pretty good lines.

What are the chances the toxicology report comes back showing fentanyl?

Won’t be the first child star to die at a young age from drugs after their careers have dried up.

I loved it! And now I’m watching Young Sheldon, which has many references to Alf, and remembering it all over again.

LOL, “Toast!” is my favorite memory from the movie (Project: ALF) said by Alf about an electrocuted scientist.

And then this followed that:

“[some time after Dr. Warner was electrocuted]
Dr. Newman: Hello, Alf, I’m Dr. Newman.
ALF: No need to ask who you’re replacing.
Dr. Newman: We’re going to try a little game called numeric sequencing.
ALF: Does it involve electric shock?
Dr. Newman: Absolutely not.
ALF: Forgive me if I’m still paranoid, there’s still a silhouette burned into the linoleum.”

I watched a few episodes last year and I didn’t remember the father being such an asshole when I saw it as a kid.

Awwright. Where is the comment about it being a dry heat? Nothing dangerous in that.

sad.

I never watched ALF. I also never watched Friends or Seinfeld or Wings or Mad About You or Will & Grace or How I Met Your Mother.
