There was never a "formal" reason given by TV-Land (not to my knowledge anyways, I could be wrong), but we're all very certain that the ratings were low.
Although I like ALF's Hit Talk Show it definitely didn't live up to it's potential (IMO).

Out of curiosity, why did the show not live up to it's potential in your opinion?Admin wrote:There was never a "formal" reason given by TV-Land (not to my knowledge anyways, I could be wrong), but we're all very certain that the ratings were low.

I don't know who is right here but I got a copy of the Project ALF DVD with a free keychain (which is awesome may I add) and on this DVD there is a commentary by Paul Fusco. Mr. Fusco said that ALF's Hit Talk Show was very successful and that he was hoping the show would get picked up for more episodes. Would Mr.Fusco lie about ALF to the tons of fans who viewed this DVD?

melmacian56,
I have the "Project: ALF" DVD, but have nevr opened it as I often watch on my VHS tape; therefore, I am not aware of the Paul Fusco commentary that you mention. While I have great respect for Mr. Fusco, if he did state that "ALF's Hit Talk Show" was very successful, I can only conclude that he was delusional at time of commentary, or he and I have vastly different definitions for the meaning of the word "successful". Perhaps in a future DVD release, Mr. Fusco might offer another commentary expounding on his criteria for success.
Have you seen "ALF's Hit Talk Show"? If not, hopefully someday you will have opportunity to see the pilot plus six additional episodes that were in the TVLand package. Then, I will leave it up to you to form your own opinion.
Mike

Why don't they give it 7 more episodes, and proper promotion, and mabye put it on at talk show time, like 6 in the morning, and see where it goes, I would love to see alf Deal with the News headlines in a way that only Alf could get away with, we should make an online petition, if anyone knows how, I would sign
Also, it should be a daily thing, not weekly, like any other talk show, a humerous alternitive to Regis and Kelly, a talk show that adults could watch without their kids being bored, I think that it could go far, if it were done right

I agree with you - it would be cool to come up with a new ALF sitcom.
As for the talk show, last time I had contact with Paul Fusco (creator and voice of ALF) he still expressed interest in getting more episodes of ALF's Hit Talk Show created and aired.
I THINK one of Paul Fusco's main concerns right now is getting the sitcom back on the air with re-runs. ALF is an aging alien, and people are starting to forget him - at least with the sitcom on the air it would slow ALF's deterioration and keep him fresh in the eyes of many viewers (who probably haven't seen the episodes at all, or at least not in a long time).
So (in my opinion) if there is ever a hope of getting more episodes of ALF's Hit Talk Show Paul Fusco needs to try to get the sitcom back on the air. The sitcom is the backbone to the ALF franchise, and the only thing that will really help get ALF out there is to get him back on television.

Thanks,
I get it, it might actually be a " hit " talk show, if they had the re-runs first, and people knew what alf was, I haven't really missed alf, because I have the DVD's, but I suppose a bunch of people don't even know what alf is, maybe that is why it didn't get good ratings, it kind of makes you wish you could pull an alf, go back in time to when it was first running, and rig the ratings, to where it looked like millions were watching ha ha
that was from a season 2 episode, ALF was smart, I wish I could have done that lol
