ALF News!
So today, it was announced that this Saturday (July 29), an ALF marathon will be running on Ryan Reynold's Maximum Effort channel.
But...There's more.
There will be commercials inserted into the marathon which are called "Maximum Moments", and it features new footage of ALF and his new caretaker, Eric (Tanner?). The commercials are basically like a modern reboot of the ALF sitcom, and they're pretty good.
Link for the commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqjUxGb3DkQ
An article from Collider reporting about the commercials: https://collider.com/alf-maximum-effort-channel/
I'm pretty excited for this. In the article above, Reynolds says something about "Bringing ALF back to life". Can't wait to see if they do anything else with the franchise and the character!
P.S.
In one of the commercials, Eric says that Gordon is over 300 years old. Canonically, Gordon was born on October 28, 1756, which makes him 266. Why do I care about the correctness of this commercial? I have no idea. But please, Paul Fusco, Ryan Reynolds, Shout Factory TV, if you're planning on rebooting this sitcom, get his age correct. It kinda bothers me that its not correct, so I just wanted to put it out there.

Alf 🛸
Willie! I can eat the cat? - Alf
Straight from planet Melmac, I got the inspiration to make this troublesome, sarcastic and cynical Alf.
What do you think?

One of the better, random buys we made a few years ago was picking up a set of old school lunch trays. Perfect for trying out a new Indian takeaway joint. Yes, I am indeed thinking about the food.
