Re: I'm in denial

The last episode of ALF is suppose to be on next week, but I just looked up the program and guess what????? Once again they are NOT showing the finale episode. As far as I know, it has never been broadcast in Australia.... very odd. I wonder what their reason is this time. Unless they are skipping a...

Re: Problems with Project ALF

Yes I remember only having season 1 and 2 shown in Australia in the 80's. Then in re-runs in the 90's they still never showed the very last episode " consider me gone" - maybe the network didn't like that episode? Anyway project ALF is good but the only thing is, we don't just love ALF, we...

Re: I'm in denial

It's strange, In the 80's season 1 and 2 were only shown in Australia. Then they showed the rest in the 90's BUT they didn't show the last episode " consider me gone". Maybe the network didnt like it either? Anyway I'm in denial too. This is how I choose to remember the last episode.. ( Do...

Re: ALF as a feature film

IF ALF goes Computer animated I'll scream! But an ALF movie would be great. It would have to touch on a "remake" slightly, or atleast have some sort of a flash back to show new audiences how ALF came to Earth. - A lot of people under 20 would not know ALF these days, and you'd have to brin...

Re: I'm in denial

Thats interesting. I wonder why the season series was shorter though. It sounded like they were about to slowly write the Tanners out. I still think they should do an ALF movie today! I guess for new audiences it can start breifly from the begining similar to episode 1 , but then moving onto a new a...

Re: I'm in denial

How long before ALF was cancilled AFTER this cliff hanger was made? Was it litterally the next week? or was the season already complete, and this was the last episode cliff hanger? I'm asking because Season 4 is much shorter than other seasons, and if they cancilled the show just after, they would h...

Re: How did the puppet work?

I hope this doesn't offend anyone. Its a clip of the Alf puppet being performed. It does have some slight bad language.

Re: How did the puppet work?

puppet_guy, Welcome to the forum! The other option is they just attach the same puppet head to 3 different bodies when needed? There were many, many waist up ALF's .... but a puppeteer uses one main master puppet for most things usually as you get used to them. Obviously they do have stand in's and...

Re: How did the puppet work?

sorry I didn't read that article before commenting. Nice article MR. Littwack. I don't know why they just didn't have the puppeteers lie on a trolley for walking scenes. I guess he didn't leave the house that much though, probably easier for them to build a whole set like that seeing its used all th...

Re: How many ALF?

I noticed the black on his face got darker in later seasons. It could be lighting? His fur definately was better groomed after the first few episodes, and his shoulders got more stuffing.

Re: How did the puppet work?

puppet_guy, Welcome to the forum! Thanks. I've always wondered how many Alf puppets they used? I know 1. Full body ALF For still shots or photos. 2. Full body walking costume. 3. Above waist hand puppet. But now I'm guessing.... 4. One could be a waist up puppet with only one working arm only, beca...

Re: How did the puppet work?

I was shocked to see how so many people could not tell how Alf was operated. - Must be because everything is CG these days. You can tell by Alf’s movements that he was a hand puppet with radio controlled eyes, brows and ears. An extra puppeteer obviously operated his other hand through Alf’s elbow....
