Are you kidding me?

a) Alf was pretty naff, IMO.

b) Even though Alf was barely anything worth ruining, they *will* ruin it. Only creatively bankrupt people would remake Alf in the first place.

I have never watched more than a few minutes of this show.

AND I NEVER WILL.

Mr. Belvedere was better than A.L.F. And Mr. Belvedere was pure trash.

Now, if you told me they were making a film based on "227", then I'd actually be excited.

Because "227" is 100% unadulterated Jackée.

Maybe it is because I was younger than Zeta when Alf was new, but I loved that show as a kid and I still watch in syndication.

Zeta is just jealous cause he didn't have a SMS game made for him.

Alf doing his best "Boss" impression. Man growing up in the 80's WAS AWESOME!


Alf helped me learned all the US states, true story

I loved it as a kid too. I also loved The A Team and The Fall Guy and The Dukes of Hazard. As an adult I can see that those shows are f*cking terrible though. The A Team in particular is one of the worst shows ever made. I recently watched every episode of Knight Rider on Netflix in a mad rush of gluttony. When I went and tried to do the same thing again with The A Team I simply couldn't pull it off. I couldn't even get through the second episode. As bad as Knight Rider is, its 1000x better than The A Team. Alf is certainly better than all the shows I just mentioned, but so is Webster...and Webster sucks too.

Wow, you can't be positive about anything can you. take a breather guy, the movie isn't made yet.

I'm positive about lots of things, but this isn't one of them. Where is the silver lining in some artless Hollywood hacks spending 100 million dollars making a new piece of shit out of an old piece of shit?

Its funny how you word this. If I can't get behind a project this inspired, then clearly I can't be positive about ANYTHING. Like, THIS should be the ultimate and most inspiring thing on Earth. A movie...based on Alf. Clearly, I must just hate the world and everything in it if I don't like the idea of the Hollywood remake machine pooping out Alf, because everything in the known universe ranks lower that the idea of a remake of Alf.

I hate Alf and I'm not excited about the movie, but, as a SMS lover, I will go out of my way to watch one (1) youtube gameplay video of the new Alf video game that will inevitably follow the movie.

This is true.

Rocks are hard, water is wet, and Zeta hates fun.

I love that we can get into a heated discussion about A.L.F.

well i'm not gonna fight over alf, and vestcoat is right. just once i want to see zeta read a thread and go "hey thats a great idea, i would like to see that". we have a better chance of discovering aliens though. and if we did, zeta would tell us its the zionist, isreali, lesbian, eskimo, conservative lunatics that made it possible.

Man what is with all the Alf haters on this board? You have no souls!

That said, Alf is probably best left in the 80's.
