but now, I really really really hate Alf. sorry again go about your day oh and since I'm talking about nothing Matt Lauer looks rediculous how long has this attrocity been going on?
Well, I don't think Terry Bradshaw is helping people to like our favorite alien from Melmac that likes to eat cats....
Have you ever noticed how some of the silliest people on the planet shill/sell/are spokespeople for the stupidest products? I think there is a definite law of physics going on in the world that states the lower a celebrity's IQ is, the stupider the product is that they sell. Just look at the r****ds selling the 1-800 long distance discount services. Terry Bradshaw. Mike Piazza. Carrot-top. A freaking ugly-ass puppet that talks like a Brooklyn cabdriver. Can we get some help from some Physics majors out there? I think we could win the Nobel Prize on this one!
Guys, don't dis on Alf. Alf is the man. I used to have those pajamas with the little shoes built into them with Alf on the front! He was my hero around age 3~!
I find that as I go back and watch reruns of TV shows I liked as a little kid in the early-mid 80s, they now seem so boring, stupid, and trite... what exactly was thier appeal? at first i thought maybe i was just a dopey kid, but lots of other mid-twentysomethings have agreed with me too...
I always loved the Simpsons episode that parodies "The X-Files" because it has some great gags in it, none greater than Homer trying to pick out the "alien" he saw in a police line-up. That line-up includes: Chewbacca Marvin the Martian (from the looney tunes cartoons) Kang or Kodos (don't know which one) Gort and of course, ALF What made it even funnier was that all the aliens looked like they do on their respective shows/movies.
Man I thought it was just me! I was looking at an episode of "The A-Team" on TNN, and god it sucked. I mean REALLY sucked, I couldn't sit through 2 minutes of it. Maybe it was just a bad episode, but a lot of other shows are like that. Different Strokes is horrible. I actually still like Threes Company for whatever reason. As for Alf, man he's tarnishing his legacy shilling for those phone companies. He's still funny, but he's shilling like a mofo now. I wondered why they brought him back for these commercials, I thought they were going to bring back his show or something. Either way I still love Alf, he's still good for laughs.
<n>Just look at the r****ds selling the 1-800 long distance discount services. Terry Bradshaw. Mike Piazza. Carrot-top.

Bradshaw makes a ton of cash, is well-known, and even had a T.V. show, and Alf is more well-known then most veteran celebrities out there. Carrot-top sucks though.
Can ANYBODY tell me why Rafeal Palmeiro would be spokesperson for Viagara. I mean, how much heat does he want! The commercial would have been funnier if he had talked about hitting more "Homeruns" now.
ALF kicked ass. I remember when NBC was deciding to whether or not to keep the series going for one for season. What ended up being the final episode was actually a part 1 of a 2 parter. ALF made contact with Rhonda and Spike and they came in a ship to get him in a park. Somehow the military found out and the series ended with the ship flying away and ALF and Willie standing there with the military ready to capture ALF. A sad way to see a series end. At home we still have a 2' tall ALF doll that when you push his stomach he says something, another ALF doll as a chef from Burger King that says something about eating cats on his apron, and finally from that same Burger King promotion an ALF record. It was a small record made out of flimsy plastic and I guess it was a 30. ALF sang a few songs and whatnot on it.
oh my god! i still have that doll too! i remember when my mom took me and my sister to Burger King back in 1988 and we each got one of those dolls. We played with them throughout that summer vacation! man, after typing that all i can think is "how sad!"
