Is it just me, or does Alf sound like Nick Offerman?

I just loved the little clip before commercials: "before you get up for that final snack, I want you to know I'll be right back!"

Nick Offerman as Alf
Larry David as Willy
You probably don't need any more cast members

I made the mistake of looking up the cast and now I'm sad because I'm older than the actors who played Kate and Willie were when the show started.

The actress who played the daughter is almost 50.


I also completely forgot that the actress who played Mrs Ochmonek also played Seinfeld's mom.

The actor who played Willy was also the manager of Central Perk on Friends for the first season or two.

I loved this show. My cousin had a talking Alf, and I put in countless hours playing the Alf game on DOS. That being said, I'd rather this not get rebooted, like most other things from the 80s.

The sitcom was so-so back then, I can't imagine how it would hold up. The weirdest part of Alf was the animated series- I had no idea what was going on ever.

I predict the next re-boot Movie will be “The Goonies”.

There was talk of a Goonies sequel a couple years ago with most of the original cast rumored to be coming back, as well as director Richard Donner. But from what I can gather, it looks like it's still stuck in development hell.
