60 of 240 · most liked firstI appreciate OP's good cheer about this in the post below (I wrote it!) but am horrified at the prospect that I have been taken for a ride about the Alf hog thing. There is a great chance I have to show this thread to my editor rather than try to explain the situation
neutral · AI labelView post →now that every writer’s been forced to pivot to a one-man-show newsletter, every post is like ‘i wrote about Anora (2024), the end of the USSR, vladimir putin, child labor laws, Alf, and the postmodernism of fredric jameson ❤️’
neutral · AI labelView post →A writer for the TV show ALF was paid $3500 a week. That is the equivalent of $10k a week today. All I'm saying is we all deserve ALF pay.
neutral · AI labelView post →At his press conference, Nigel Farage is ranting about the Black and White Minstrel Show, Alf Garnett and It Ain't Half Hot Mum in - as far as I can tell – an attempt to justify his "banter" when a schoolboy. He is very much not going down the Richard Tice, "lies" route.
neutral · AI labelView post →tbf Alf also came out before I was born and I never saw the show as a kid, I just absorbed it via cultural osmosis lol

neutral · AI labelView post →wow this show is, I regret to inform you, fascinatingly terrible (it was before my time, despite my whole Alf thing)
negative · AI labelView post →The opening and closing theme songs to the ALF animated series go way harder than they had any right to…
positive · AI labelView post →for all the Alf discourse on this site we don't talk about how they really ended the show for children by saying "sorry kids your fav alien was about to leave for home and was saying goodbye but has now been taken by the govt for experiments"
neutral · AI labelView post →was earlier explaining to someone else on the feed why ST:TNG hit as hard as it did despite the first season being quite rough - you might think I was joking if I said “it’s closest competitor was ALF” but in all seriousness, this was *the* hit sci-fi TV show right before Encounter at Farpoint.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Alf!
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ll be working on a reel and/or thread of my favorite Alf Clausen music from The Simpsons. What’s your favorite orchestral moment from the show?
neutral · AI labelView post →I wonder if my desk represents the world’s only Aztec mythology and Alf crossover series, or if there are others
neutral · AI labelView post →Because I grew up associating Bob Uecker first with "Mr. Belvedere," this is like if every time the Dodgers won a World Series, the players all said, "I just know that Alf is looking down at us and smiling."
neutral · AI labelView post →*long sigh* Technically, ALF is the name of the show, but not the character. The character's name is Gordon Shumway. ALF is an abbreviation for Alien Life Form, which is how the military described him

neutral · AI labelView post →You probably think ALF was that corny Saturday afternoon sitcom where a puppet alien lived with a family. Well it was, but it's a LOT weirder than that. Here's what happened when I joined ALFSplaining for a chat about an episode where ALF rigs the TV ratings... timworthington.org/2024/10/21/a...
neutral · AI labelView post →Didn't Alf have a late night talk show for a bit? I'm not saying it was Alf, but at this point in the timeline it was probably Alf.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was trying to explain to my younger coworkers the fever dream that was 'Cartoon All-stars to the Rescue.' I then started listing all the IPs and characters they put in the show, and when I got to ALF, I got a collective "what's ALF?" I'll be honest, fam, that one stung a little. 👴
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m doing this but 4 ALF from the ALF show
neutral · AI labelView post →We should start our own reality show about a man who married a deer XD You know be something like ALF
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ll add that the Alf series ends with him being implicitly black bagged by the federal agency that’s tracking aliens, in front of both his biological and chosen family. Hard stop, shows over. www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/al...
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished Alf, great show! Alf’s 8 stomach vs Luffy. Who would win?
positive · AI labelView post →New Japanese users! こんにちは! Welcome to Bluesky! "Alf" (1986-1990) was a television show about a puppet space alien who wanted to eat cats. "Hog" is a euphemism, or slang that (thread, 1/47)
neutral · AI labelView post →we’ve got Nazis, haunted dolls, homophobia, and complaints about Kids These Days in the comments on this nice little YouTube video about the end of the Alf TV show: youtu.be/gDmIPPi4TiE?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Through a series of my own bad choices, I once had to explain to my wife and teen son why Alf has a special place in Bluesky's heart. Explaining gay people is just "people are different in who they love and all deserve the same rights and dignity and respect because we are all human beings"
neutral · AI labelView post →"Do you remember that television show, 'Alf', about the alien that eats cats?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait - please say more about “non Alf related” and please mean the TV show, not the generic concept of alien life
neutral · AI labelView post →Alf Clausen, who gave The Simpsons its sonic identity from 1990 until 2017 when he was booted from the show, has died after an 8 year battle with Parkinsons. per his daughter Kaarin to the Hollywood Reporter. He was 84. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/a...
neutral · AI labelView post →He scored The Simpsons for *27 years.* No, he did not write the main title theme (that was Danny Elfman), and yes he was replaced on the show in 2017, but he was the musical life blood of the series. Alf Clausen has passed away. variety.com/2025/artisan...
neutral · AI labelView post →It is established canon from the TV series "ALF" that Alf's homeworld/species/culture considered destroying books, specifically, to be a serious spiritual offense - one of the few details the series provided as to his belief system: youtu.be/IS2m1FpMyig?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Alf hog didn't show up on your time line! Your time line showed up on Alf Hog!
neutral · AI labelView post →I heard Faine’s head of the Alien Task Force that captured ALF in the series finale and all the photos they’ve posted of ALF’s hog are actually images from the detainment.
neutral · AI labelView post →Secretly one of series’ composer Alf Clausen’s finest moments - that’s a cover performed by his Simpsons orchestra, but performed so perfectly (and so much better/snappier than most orchestras that’ve tried to cover Williams) that you’d never guess it wasn’t the original recording.

Troopers: 3 shows in one but its all VR! Masked Rider: A fun family sitcom with ALF Big Bad Beetleborgs: Metal Heroes meet the Groovie Goolies!
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, yes, yes, I was in a room with John Stamos, Robert Englund and Linda Hamilton yesterday, but I was also within touching distance of actual ALF the Animated Series animation cels, soooo, yeah…..
neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes I’ll watch an old show from my childhood and I’m like “holy shit this show is actually WAY better than I remember it.” “Dinosaurs” is one of those shows. “Alf” is not.
negative · AI labelView post →What was the best night on here? Mamdani win, World Series, Chicago Pope, Alf?
neutral · AI labelView post →The year is 10,026 AD. Civilization has fallen, risen, and fallen again. Few connections to the past remain, culturally or scientifically, save for the television series ALF (1986-1990). Learned seers have drawn much from the quirky sitcom, bringing them power and influence. Now, the Council of ALF
neutral · AI labelView post →Your pandemic show was TED LASSO, my pandemic show was @foundfootagefest.com’s VCR party web show. It made me join their Patreon and ship an ALF puzzle to one of the founders/hosts.
neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone on the show called him “Alf”. It’s fine.
neutral · AI labelView post →FYI, after this first post, all future Daily Show posts will include ALF pornography.
neutral · AI labelView post →also, as I’ve said before, as an inveterate ALF defender from back in the day: ALF is great only because the comics were 100x better than the show and the short-lived cartoons were much funnier than the live action. ALF the original show was a bad trip that seriously 100% no joke destroyed lives.
negative · AI labelView post →Anne Schedeen deserved to be so much more than "the mom in ALF" but she was bloody great at it. I think my favourite actor in the entire series once they worked out how to write for her. Didn't seem to be bitter about any of it either. A very sad day. R.I.P. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/a...
neutral · AI labelView post →Show me your flashback Friday Pocket popple, baby dino, and ALF. Damn I was cool 😎
positive · AI labelView post →Alf the Animated Series has such a catchy theme song (cut off from Bluesky 60 second limit)
neutral · AI labelView post →the ALF from the tv show ALF lapel pin is something anyone can wear to show that their life has been touched by a funny space alien. but not everyone whose life has been touched by an alien has to wear it, just if you want to you can.
neutral · AI labelView post →Alf Garnett? Is he really so thick that he doesn’t understand the character and the intended message of the show?
neutral · AI labelView post →The lyrics to the Alf animated series theme song are genuinely unhinged, which I guess is in character. https://youtu.be/03_NqJFVEOc
neutral · AI labelView post →From the Larchives: I think Bluesky especially needs to remember to wish each other a Festive Goomer Day. May the Goomer bring you lots of foam! :) (from the animated ALF series :) )
neutral · AI labelView post →They should just use a puppet for the Ted show. ALF it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rights issues from IP franchise holders are preventing me pitching a 5 season series multiverse saga about a war fought between Alf vs Tom Bombadil’s uncut hogs
neutral · AI labelView post →I never saw this show growing up, I was more in the Cheers/ALF/Full House generation, but my partner got me into them, and it's remarkably more subversive than I expected and it's made me laugh a lot.
positive · AI labelView post →While working on a piece about ALF, I discovered that Paul Fusco created a Saturday morning series called "Space Cats." It was mostly animated but started with a live-action, puppet-heavy sequence that included a regular appearance from Charles Nelson Reilly as the Space Cats' computer, D.O.R.C.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a reason Alf is the joke that it is, and it's not because the series was beloved.
negative · AI labelView post →Alf is back... in scribble form. Remember Alf? (I don't really remember watching the show or the animated series, but I know I did.... )
neutral · AI labelView post →To counter the current reality I am again immersed in television from the late 1980s. This evening it is ALF, which is surprisingly entertaining. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALF_(TV...
positive · AI labelView post →Sorta Christmas cartoon from my Larchives: Given the love that ALF gets around here, it just occurred to me that I should share this seasonal Melmackian image. A Festive Goomer Day to all who celebrate. May you get lots of foam :)
