It was grueling indeed. It's all Fusco's fault. Well. He was dedicated to maintaining that ALF was indeed a real character, and a real alien. They're still dedicated to it today. You should read Tina Fey's comments about the NBC anniversary special. Also, check out the gag reel. It's on the Season One DVD. ALF actually moves and talks like a real character, no pupeteet or anything. Quite remarkable, but utterly painstaking.
@mulletboater I hear ya. This was a letdown from where the show ended. Without the Tanners...this is really weird. The least they could have done was make some sort of cameo appearance...
No, the ratings didn't really tank. They had declined, but not so much that NBC would have cancelled due to them alone. The production team actually had planned to end the series with just a few more episodes after the capture, and had a verbal agreement with NBC. NBC never made good on the deal. It wasn't really a ratings issue, but the fact that NBC backed out the deal meant effective cancellation.
Closest you'll get is the tie-in comic series they made... It ended a year after the show did, and ignored the series finale in favor of a more satisfying ending in which ALF remains with his adopted family on Earth. It also showed more of Skip and Rhonda, plus other survivors of the explosion of Melmac.
the actor of willy tanner Max Wright didnt want anything to do with the ALF franchise after the show ended....lots of tension on set due to long hours and being overshadowed by a puppet.
Troubled Production: It has been described as being what Hell would be like for actors when they die. Due to the constant arduously technical demands of making the ALF puppet come to life, to film a 22 minute episode it took 20-25 full hours. It was incredibly demanding, and reportedly almost everyone on set was miserable. One of the writers, Jerry Stahl, worked on the show while in the midst of a nightmarish heroin addiction, which he detailed in his memoir Permanent Midnight, at one point hallucinating the puppet attacking him while he was high in a bathroom stall.
