I love the live hands on Fozzie being represented as well. Beautiful stuff

Not to break the somber mood after Anne Schedeen’s death but the line in the obituary “her burning hatred for Trump” is so simultaneously funny and relatable. It made me chuckle when I read it and I feel like it’s probably what she would have wanted.

Anne Schedeen deserved to be so much more than "the mom in ALF" but she was bloody great at it. I think my favourite actor in the entire series once they worked out how to write for her. Didn't seem to be bitter about any of it either. A very sad day. R.I.P. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/a...

Rest in peace, Anne Schedeen. A wonderful person from what I’ve heard and an incredible actress. It’s always enjoyable to see her turn a character like Kate into a full three-dimensional character. My condolences to her family. www.facebook.com/share/1DMbac...

An ALF Drawing

rest in peace Gene Shalit, a friend to – and occasional member of – The Muppets

Just saw The Muppets Take Manhattan on the big screen. Finally, I know how audiences in 1984 felt when they saw it for the first time (I’ve watched it many a time). Below: The sight that made me do a double take while driving down the street.

"...For all of us who have done Sesame Street for so many years — we’re all a part of a team that’s committed to children and that is such a big part of who we all are as artists and workers. Sesame Street is us." Happy Birthday, Roscoe Orman!

(Redone from yesterday because I can now put more photos in the post) Your weekly Melmac Fact - ALF canonically has been shown to have his ears pierced, or more accurately has been shown wearing earrings.

// Been meaning to post this. A little trivia about Paul from I think the Muppet Wiki:

I feel like as the years pass, we're forgetting who the true meme king of BlueSky is. And he doesn't like to be forgotten.

There's new content over at the ALFsplaining Patreon, and it's great news if you've ever wanted to see where we broadcast from and what's in the background. We're looking at ALF's Guest Appearances in other shows, with clips aplenty. Get on it! www.patreon.com/posts/alf-ge...

Why did they strip Gonzo of his clothing

Reposting again because these interviews are top notch. It’s incredibly intriguing to hear the rumors about the “tensions” on set get contradicted by every guest. I honestly can’t say just how much I love listening to these interviews and the insight they bring as an ALF fan. Amazing work as always!

Today is June 3rd, the start of Phineas and Ferb's summer vacation.

"When I saw the Muppets, it was everything I loved combined together—funny, musical, beautifully built sculptures appearing on television. I grew up watching everything the Muppets did and was a big fan of Jim Henson." Happy Birthday, David Rudman!

Since it’s halfway to Halloween, I’ve got to ask: I’ve seen people cosplay as Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Caroll Spinney, Shari Lewis, even Dave Goelz, but never Paul Fusco. That being said, would a Fusco cosplay with an ALF puppet be off-limits to do? Asking for a friend.

It's here! Our latest episode, where we meet Josh Buxbaum (Josh Blake as was) and talk all things Jake. youtu.be/VGgX95TPapw?...

We’re playing in Orlando tomorrow night, so I thought this would be a good chance to catch up with some old friends.

BREAKING: Both the Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Jug Band *and* the Riverbottom Nightmare Band have reportedly withdrawn from the America 250 celebration.

This just in Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem have withdrawn from President Trump’s America 250 celebration.

BREAKING: The Asparaguys from the Nutrition Follies have reportedly withdrawn from performing at the America 250 festival.

Pope Leo XIV on AI: “They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce.”

The Oinker Sisters have withdrawn from performing at America 250.

I always kind of liked this episode. Not really for the plot, but more for the way it delves into ALF’s psyche and his suppressed trauma from Melmac and everything. It’s very interesting that the family reacts to his breakdowns by going “Please be gone”.

In today's ALFsplaining we cover the last scenes of Jake Ochmonek, ALF's pal who genuinely became a stand out character. With that in mind we've tracked him down! Next Monday we've got a great interview with former actor Josh Buxbaum - Josh Blake as was. It'll all happen at linktr.ee/ALFsplaining

"Let us, then, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of Springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor..." - John Alexander Logan, 5 May 1868, calling for a nationwide "Decoration Day".

NEXT WEEK! It's an ALF extravaganza!

The fourth of May be with you all!

Thinking about this ominous image of ALF that the internet has brought to me #alf #gordonshumway

Only one...

April 16th? That was quick.

Ready to rock 🎸

Never seen this before. I’m assuming something for syndication. Pretty cool nonetheless.

Coming April 1, a new puppet project from Bill Barretta and Frank Oz! We hope it's not a joke!

How am I only learning now that Gene Shalit is both still alive AND just turned 100?! Wow. Anyways, this gives me a reason to let everyone know about the Today show’s New Years Day broadcast in 1990, in which ALF (somewhat hungover) met Gene Shalit and wiped his nose on him. Happy birthday, Gene.
