Why Would You Tell Me That?

TV’S ALF and Other Mavericks

Season 11, Ep. 9

Who doesn’t love an 80s puppet-based sitcom?


This week, Dave leads us through the labyrinthine shenanigans that went on to keep the reality behind ALF a secret - ALF, the lead character in the wildly successful sitcom of the same name, of course. In part 2 we hear how Neil’s nationalism unexpectedly reared its head on a TV show.


If that’s not enough, Neil explains the mighty legacy of Grace Kelly’s Da. Where else would ya get it?
