I'm surprised there wasn't an ALF movie. Seemed like a character primed for a cheesy movie.

R U kidding? Pretty much all we have now is this reality crap (super nanny, ice skating w/ the stars whatever) and a ton of cheezy shows on the WB and UPN. How many investigative crimes shows can we come up with?

There are a 'few' exceptions but for the most part, TV shows today are a joke...

at least back then, tv shows were original and actually funny.

I agree, there were a lot of good shows back in the day. Today's shows OTOH :roll: Then again, there are good shows with each generation, as well as lame ones. The good ones survive and the bad ones usually don't. Of all the original classic movies we know and love (original Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Gone with the Wind, etc.) there were probably hundreds of movies that didn't make it.

Yay for TiVo ;)
