He was best known for his role as middle brother Brian Tanner on Alf, which aired from 1986 to 1990.

Middle?

As far as I can remember they only had two children. One teen girl and one pre-teen boy. What is this "middle brother" bit?

Did they have more children?

ALF sounded like he must have been Joe Liberman’s older brother

It was a wonderful family-friendly tv show that was often quite hilarious... the sort of wholesome shows they don’t make today. RIP Benji and thank you for the wonderful laughs my family shared while watching ALF...

Child actor with mental issues as adult - probably another hollywood pedo victim.

I think I was about ten when I watched it.

It was undoubtedly silly but so is much of television.

“Since we never watched it, I can’t comment.”

There hasn’t been anything I’ve wanted to watch beyond a few documentaries in decades. Everything is ridiculous. Women taking unrealistic male roles where her 98 pounds trumps 250 pounds in fist fights. Not because she’s an expert in some marshal art, but because she can hit his jaw hard enough to make him backflip and lay in a crumpled pile. White men are played as idiots. There’s an obligatory gay in almost everything. The black characters are amazingly superior in whatever is required. People WAY too young have the knowledge and experience their character is assigned that could only be gained by decades at whatever job. And there’s some woke dialog about evil Republicans or climate change thrown in haphazardly in lots of places where preachy is not called for. (Actually, preachy is never called for in entertainment.) Hollywood has lost me.

This show may have been on when another very popular show aired: Webster: Retired football player (Alex Karras) and his wife (Actual wife Susan Clark) adopted an orphaned black boy (Emmanuel Lewis) , who was the son of a former teammate.
That show lasted from 1983 to 1989.

For so many, many reasons, I doubt if a show with that premise would be aired today, if shown, it wouldn’t last past two seasons.

Hollywood should not have the right to exploit and kill children, even if the harm takes 40 years to be evident.

I think that’s a winning political platform…

I couldn’t agree more.
Almost EVERY show and movie anymore are like that, and it destroys any interest in that trash.
All unrealistic.

I think Married With Children was the last network show I watched regularly when it came out.
