35 years ago on March 24, 1990 Alf was captured by the ATF (Alien Task Force) and taken from us... it's been long enough.... we need to BRING BACK ALF!
Mark & Rach are talking about the legacy of Alf, how this show captured our imaginations as children, the heartbreak of the show ending, and the ways in which Alf could come back to our screens.
Mark brings his insights, hot takes, and personal history with this sitcom, and shows us his TOP 10 Alf Merch! (pls check out this post so you can see the items of which Mark is talking about)
