Over on patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra there's some ambitious and fascinating content as we've synched up the pilot episode of ALF with the first episode as it was transmitted to see what the differences were. There's lots of unaired footage and different takes, a feast for ALF fans.
ALF writer and Simpsons legend Mike Reiss told us about a reboot idea, and also what a surprising critic thought of it.

In the episode Something's Wrong With Me ALF mentions he has a tattoo he'd "rather not explain" - we discussed the ramifications of this revelation with @dankackroyd.bsky.social and looked at some real ALF tattoos.

ALFsplaining covered these amazing records on our Patreon, patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra - they're well worth a listen. Melmac Rock is a legitimately brilliant Springsteen pastiche.

Last year we watched the episode where Elisha Cook Jr. guested, and died. Paul Abbott @pablovich.bsky.social also guested (on the podcast) but did not die. In fact he told us some very interesting facts about Elisha.

Not long ago we had @pablovich.bsky.social from @bigsort.bsky.social on the podcast to discuss the episode 'We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert'.
The conversation turned, as it so often does on ALFsplaining, to 17th century philosophers.

We don't know why ALF himself didn't appear in this 1989 NBC promo, or why it looks so much like the video for Kiss by Tom Jones.

ALFsplaining returns on 2nd February. We were going to put episodes in sync with their original 1989 airdates but later on there's a lot of gaps in the schedule, so we'll keep it regular.

2026 is the year we are determined to get @vancityreynolds.bsky.social to come on ALFsplaining and talk about his love of ALF.
We asked Paul Fusco to put in a good word for us. But if you *are* Ryan, or know him, drop us a line at ALFsplaining@yahoo com
