Alf

[wwfpooh]

Yes Back to the topic of Alf. I do't even know what was going on. I got Lost. My fav. is Alf his somewhat a Tanner.

I said besides Alf (Alien life form that is Gordon Shumway). My favorite Tanner would have to be Lucky the cat, because he'd have to be lucky to escape Alf's clutches every time the Melmacian wanted food to dine on! ^_^

I like Luckey too. But he's not in all the eps.

I believe in the later episodes, Lucky passed away naturally and they got themselves a new cat. So Alf never ate Lucky at all.

I was saying that the cat would've had to be pretty cunning to outsmart a witty alien life form.

I did not see that. The cat is Smarter. Wow how could I not see that. That or the cat is faster and Alf is slow.

Yeah, but you'd think that Alf would be wise to the ways of Earth felines after dealing with Lucky, but even when the new cat comes, Alf still has to chase down what he considers dinner.

I forgot? Does he ever get to eat on the show?

That was a big in-joke - lucky by name, lucky by nature. ALF ate everything in sight on the show (and most stuff the Tanners tried to hide, lol). But he never ate Lucky (although when Lucky died he did want to digest the remains), ALF ordered Kittens (from an ad, like ordering a Pizza, lol) but when they arrived he found they were so cute he couldn't eat them and he was a CAT LOVER .. much to his disgust!

I remember a couple of great puppetry scenes in ALF - firstly when ALF electrecuted himself in a bathtub trying to use an electric hand blender to make a jacuzzi, (which was only ever shown once and re-shot because NBC complained) and they had ALF come out literally smoking with his hair on end, and there was a scene where ALF cooked dinner for the Tanners and left the gas on, so he ended up blowing up the kitchen and they had ALF fly about 50 feet across the room.

I guess no Tabby pot pie for him then, huh?

Nope. Censors probably thought it in bad taste.
