@@humbertocasado6884 It's sad. I put myself on his shoes though, he became famous in a period of time when coming out of the closet meant work death, he was a theater trained actor and acting on TV wasn't really what he was looking for and it seems didn't make him happy, his hetero marriage was just for the public the eye, no one ends up in drugs just because and much less at the age he did. It is truly sad, don't know if he didn't seek help, I can't say if anyone tried to help him neither. His wife must have put up with a lot through the years as well so I feel for her too. He was a very good actor, he was so convincing as Willy and other roles he played. I will always remember him as a talented person, all that rests to believe and hope is that despite his struggles, he was a good person. I like to think he was.
Oh my, Les Nessman from WRKP! I imagine that many of us oldsters born in 1966/67 recognize him from the good ol' days, pork belly reports and turkeys that can't fly. LOL!
Absolutely one of the very best shows ever ... writing, scripting, acting and filming. Great job to everyone involved, only next to Cheers and Frasier. Enjoying the re-runs after 30-40 years.
You said it well. The high quality of this series is oft-overlooked. It’s still funny decades later, and a lot of us still love it. Even with the behind-the scenes difficulties, all of those people put together a show they can be proud of.
@@piotrproszewski3977 Look up Cheers - you won't be disappointed. A top favourite in North America for many, many years. Frasier's character was developed from Cheers.
The phone,lol, back then if you told me in the future I'd be carrying a phone around with me I'd laugh and say, why, I never liked phones why would I want to be on call 24/7
THIS....was real gold, this stuff in unbeaten in almost 40 years. No sex, no violence, no trash talk, no "strong women"....what ever that shit means....
You know you can praise a show without being backhanded and bashing on “shows these days”, right? That was the whole reason we hated MrEnter’s _Admirable Animation_ series - he just used it as an excuse to moan about shows he didn’t like when it was supposed to be a positive review on something he liked. Plus, a lot of people are prolly here for the same reason you are - to *escape* the garbage that comes on nowadays. All you’re doing is reminding them of it and ruining the good mood they put this on specifically to get in.
Pennsylvania 6-5000 was a longtime real phone number of famous Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. It was in operation for over 30 years and it was longest operating number in NYC. The hotel has since been demolished and now Vornado Tower stands in its place.
20:46 J'essaie de comprendre la serie en anglais et en américain, je la regarde surtout en français. J'adore Cette famille. Excellentes blagues et répliques. Magnifique On a envie d'habiter avec Eux et de les connaître. J aimerais bien un Alf chez moi. Vive ALF et les Tanner ❤❤🎉j adore
I am watching from Kenya 🇰🇪. Alf used to be aired in my country's TV around the year 1993, in the evening,I remember since I was a young boy back then, although I don't recall the storylines with precision. Now,at the time of releasing this particular episode,who exactly was at the helm in U.S.A? Was it President George H.W. Bush? Or President Ronald Reagan?
It was Ronald Reagan in 1986 (1st season of ALF). He had a very distinct voice and way of speaking. They did a very good job impersonating him on the radio call.
Interesting to see that Alfs eye play in such early episodes was not nearly as sophisticated as in later seasons. Sometimes when looking in his eyes there is even an uncanny feeling about him
I kind of remember this episode. I also remember growing up during the cold war. Especially after seeing the first Terminator movie, I hated the idea of nukes, and that such a thing exists. But worse than just the fact they exist is why they exist. Because there is evil in the world. And the evil will never feel guilty for the damage caused or could be caused. So all the anti-nuke guilt only works against the good guys. And most of the anti-Nuke stuff was coming from the communists weaponizing our own empathy and goodness against us. They do the same thing with guns every time there is a mass shooting. Getting the law abiding to give up their guns wont stop mass shootings any more than liberal democracies disarming their nukes will end war. The good guys having nukes was the reason the Cold War remained cold. History is replete with examples of how pacifism always leads to more war, violence and oppression. "Turning the other cheek", so-to-speak, never works.
The age of this show is obviously dated, but in the end it was near the end of the 20th century. I was happy as a boy in NYC during the Mad Men era of the 1960s when my family had a telephone, black and white TV and a General Electric AM band radio from 1961 that I remember my late mother buying it at Woolworth Department store in Flushing, Queens, NYC.
Why, in the intro, is the girl huddled and bent-double, cowering on the phone - door shut - whilst having a conversation in the pitch-black mustiness of the coat cupboard?
What was sad about it? Humans make the best of the time that they live in. The new generation seems sad to me. Very depressed and complaining, and victim mentality
I remember back in 1993 or 1994 A guy makes a deaththreart to The Presidents Plane saying there was something in the cargo part of the plane Secret Service and the Plane crew move everybody to the front of the Plane The guy calls back saying Fooled u didnt I ? when they landed they inspected the plane to be sure they never figured out who the caller was. They were using the Kennedy SAM 26000 Plane that the old style radios and phones
No, we all plugged our, hairdryers in at the same time 😂
Best show ever. In some good all days, no stupidity no nudity nothing bad,just funny people and lil alien❤
"Im getting you your own toothbrush"
"..why?"
:D
Alf, me and my gf loved this show, thank you for the laughs and memories.
Today's writers can learn A LOT from 80's sitcoms.
Willie really made the show
I became sad knowing about some facts of his real life
Willie sounded like he needed to be medicated.
@@humbertocasado6884 Best thing is to not look anything up abut the private lives of actors, musicians and the like. Just enjoy their work.

The black actor in this episode was Meshach Taylor. He was in "Designing Women."
No one cares
what black actor? and does color make any difference anyway? wtf.
I thought I recognized him! Thanks Lynette.
Edit: there's an episode of DW in the "related suggestions" - I wonder if your comment caused that? lol 😉👍
Meshach Taylor is black? Thanks for pointing out the obvious! Good work
@@thanos7110I do.
Thank you so much for putting this on YT.I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS YOUNG..THANK YOU❤

In europe it was alf,Married with children, Wings,Friends and also Frasier...I have no idea what Cheers is
@@piotrproszewski3977 Look up Cheers - you won't be disappointed. A top favourite in North America for many, many years. Frasier's character was developed from Cheers.
good times, we only had land lines and polaroids and were happy
Never lived in that era, but would absolutely love to!
Ah yes. The phoneproblems of the 80's. Back then we had too few phones, now we have too many phones :D
I would give just about anything to go back to a world without smart phones. They are prisons and have destroyed humanity,
The phone,lol, back then if you told me in the future I'd be carrying a phone around with me I'd laugh and say, why, I never liked phones why would I want to be on call 24/7
No kidding - pagers were bad enough!
...but I do remember the 1st time I had a conversation outside on our 1st cordless phone lol
I love Alf My brother hates IT LOL
funny and a story... entertaining without gun or nude THAT is quality.
I realised what to be a freaky means when recently I felt like to buy an Alf plush
Alf tooth brush? The green one?
Huh? Lol
Good memories, funny Alf....❤
THIS....was real gold, this stuff in unbeaten in almost 40 years.
No sex, no violence, no trash talk, no "strong women"....what ever that shit means....

And yet if it aired today, you'd be complaining about the *lack* of sex, violence and trash talk, saying America's gotten too soft and PC.
As a woman, women could be portrayed as syrong without the need of making them bossy and unpleasant all the time.
@@Uapa500 Or, you know, we could just portray women as normal human beings, like men get to be. Like… how come men get to be funny and women don’t?
ALF AWESOME TOO MY FRIEND

2 months ago I felt very sad that the famous hotel was demolished. It has been there since 1920. And we walked by it many times for several decades.
Alf rules! Bring back Alf to tv 📺!
Thank You 🫶🫶🫶
Cult...love it !!!!!
I love the Tanner family ❤😊
Holy so many comments from all around the world I'm in Campbell River and for me ALF DOLL AND OF COURSE GOOD LUCK CARE BARE HAS BEEN APART OF MY LIFE
Awesome 👍👍 TY
Would love to see Alf reboot with different cast I think it would work
20:46 J'essaie de comprendre la serie en anglais et en américain, je la regarde surtout en français.
J'adore Cette famille.
Excellentes blagues et répliques. Magnifique

Alf's voice was a bit different in these early episodes. I wonder when it changed.
I think I read somewhere that the original voice was too grating on the voice actor, hence why the voice changed later in season 1.
In joke: They are watching Tootsie which costarred Geena Davis and Dabney Coleman. Max Wright worked with both of them on Buffalo Bill a year later.
Alf uses both of their toothbrushes🤦🤕🤯🤯🤯🤢🤣🤣🤣. Every episode I find of yours I'm happy for it and take me back to childhood!🙏👋🕎✡️🇮🇱
to elran happy independence day.
@@n8nocircumcisebaby102 thanks!!👏👏😘
Watching for second Time
Excellent when Willi says : Maybe in the prison
Kate proving she's the best mom. She should get an Oscar for this episode.
Emmy Award to be exact.
Those HBO roasts still burn to this day
When politics becomes their religion!
When religion becomes their politics!
Love alf
well this episode aged well cough cough lol
Every single episode title is a title of a popular song. In this case, Pennsylvania 6-50000 by Glenn Miller.
The Big Guy and i are like that😂😂
How come everytime ALF called the president always indespose
Like he have a bad tummy or something
he also ate the tabby paw pie haha
Cuz Alf to be honest is funny but little annoying also 😂😂😂😂 no offense
Am I the only one who thinks Alf got Willie in trouble just because he wouldn't let him use the phone
Different voice for Alf 😊 more episodes like that.
Why was this show cancelled?
Declining ratings I believe.
@@norfolksouthernrailfan2006 followed by instant regret on NBC's part. Coulda got two more seasons, at least.
"Who are all these people and why they are on phone all the time" xD
Remember my chyldhood
Biden would've shared an ice cream cone w ALF
😅

I liked his voice better in the german version somehow.
This is not the full episode there's some scenes missing
Yes you are right but this is the full (syndicated) version.
Classic
Damn, i unrinated in my pants its so funny lol.

I ❤ Alf ,( thanks @RUclips )
Willie : Maybyyyyy
Is it just me or does Alf seem to have a deeper voice, seems more angry too.
This was an early episode of the show. Paul Fusco was still finding the voice.
Alf workz for Our 💗
Fine txs you and you🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤❤
Treating Reagan like an old geezer lol, now the last 2 presidents we had now, lol.
Why, in the intro, is the girl huddled and bent-double, cowering on the phone - door shut - whilst having a conversation in the pitch-black mustiness of the coat cupboard?
So family can't hear what she talks. Strange teenage behaviour. Only one landline in a home in the 80s, You know.
@@Kosty19 that sound reasonable - fair enough. I will leave it there ☺

No problem
Juste domestic spat😂😂
Tell her Brian
He’s an alien
the animation of the early Alf was SO cute......
It’s not animated it was a puppet for not full body shots and a costume for full Body shots
@@anitazagajeski8094 so you're saying ALF was un-animated & lifeless? How they used the word "animation" is not wrong.
@@favoritemustard3542 Alf actor was only 1 meter tall.
@@nagash303 you mean Mihaly 'Michu' Meszaros. We're talking about the puppet, though. You animate a puppet with your hands.
Not animated. Puppet sometimes, and costume other times. Alf might have had and animated series, but not this show lololol
You're not gonna bring up the bonzo films again?
Again missing about about two minutes!
Alfs telephon call at the beginning is shortened and also Kate visiting Willie in prison .
WHY?
Be glad we can see this for free
..love the show..
Copyright...be thankfull they put this on RUclips
Because putting it under so many minutes gets you a higher payout
I love this show very much, I`m watching this in English, but I`m from Ukrain
And u understand everything ? I'm from Poland
The episode title is based on the Glenn Miller song.
Alf knows everything about usa culture. But he does not know FBI???
