Oh, my, how sad this whole story is. We loved/love Alf. (Alien Life Form). We get him week-ends on METV. It took me back. It's every bit as funny. The droll voice on that guy got me every time. I'm very sorry to hear about Max Wright. Another droll voice in the family. From what I've read, it's exactly how he really felt! If Alf returns, will it be the same actor?I once read an article about how they wanted to keep it a secret who the actor was playing him. I once saw his picture and I had to quickly look away. That can't be our real Alf. No word ever about any puppet. What the heck gives?

@Judaline

The original creators Tom Patchett and Paul Fusco are said to be on board. Fusco was the voice of ALF, while Patchett operated the puppet.

I can't imagine they would ever do the show without the voice of Paul Fusco.

I doubt if any of these shows are going to be as funny as they used to be.

I think things are so politically correct by the time a show is sanitized it isn't funny anymore.

Back in the old days, things were funny, and fun was made of everyone.

Just watch, I'll bet it's not as funny as it used to be unless they make fun of everyone without being crude. That's what they (the writers) don't know how to be (my opinion), funny without being crude. These younger writers I think, believe sex and crude are what people want to see and I think they couldn't be more wrong. I watch a lot of TV but if it isn't any good, even if there's nothing else on, I won't watch it.
