Did you hate that duck? Or are you 'Orville Friendly'?

This month Keith Harris and pals are joined by their natural onscreen foil Grotbags. There's also one of the longest tenured Brookside stars, and perhaps the panto industry's most fascinating and beloved producer.

Could @robmanuel.b3ta.com have invented Skleenball? We think so, yes.

The howl of laughter I’ve just let out on the bus listening to @alfsplaining.bsky.social because of @benbaker.bsky.social and his terrible Google search. I looked like a complete maniac. Also, RIP John, I’ll keep sharing in your memory.

Expert on everything, @outonbluesix.bsky.social, joined us to look at the ALF episode Prime Time in which NBC head Brandon Tartikoff was lampooned. Tim told us about his role in ultimately bringing the X-Men to the big screen.

If you like me talking about ALF and pantos you'll LOVE me talking about season 7 of the Dukes Of Hazzard where Boss Hogg gets a robot.

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

Syndication Hits Are Born With It.

Syndication Hits Are Born With It.

Three's Company Was.

Three's Company Was.

And SoWas ALF

It's that certain something that separates the hits from the misses in syndication. The perfect network audience comp that mirrors the demos needed to succeed as a strip.

When a network sitcom has the special qualities that attract the same kind of people who watch sitcoms five days a week, it's destined to be a hit in syndication.

Evergreens like "M=A*S*H" and

"Three's Company" had it on the net-work. And so does Warner Bros' line-up of off-network sitcoms for '90-'91.

Unfortunately, most other sitcoms being offered for stripping weren't born with this success quotient in their past. Which could mean a poor showing in syndication.

But, with "ALF" "Head of the Class," "The Hogan Family" and "Perfect Strangers," success is in the numbers.

Instead of taking a chance on an expensive off-network strip with-out the correct network demos, ask your Warner Bros. sales rep about our sitcom line-up for '90-'91.

They're all born to win.

Funny Shows. Serious Business.

No new ALFsplaining this week but we've got a vast back catalogue to dive into. We've already covered the first two and a half seasons and in this interview last year with creator, puppeteer and voice of ALF Paul Fusco we discovered the worst ALF merchandise... ever!
