Cinema and Television Verities: ALF

“…toward the first season and second season, ALF used to drink, he was a party animal. HE drank beer and everything, and once the kids and families started watching it, they said ‘ALF’s not really a great role model if he’s drinking beer; maybe you should pull that back a little bit. And our response was ‘He’s 225 years old; he can drink beer, he can do whatever he wants to do.”
