      KHWendy28 I say no. Here is a few reasons why:
      1. Reboots of old Tv Shows or Movies, usually are horrible, or badly done
      2. The original people aren't in it
      3. The original will always be better
      4. Alf will always be better as an 80's classic
      5. Comedy these days are badly done
      6. Because I said so.
      Please don't give me any hatred, theses are MY opinions and I'm not trying to sound rude. Again, this is why I say no. Thanks for reading and considering why I say no.

    I remember Sony announcing about 6 years ago (August 2012) that it had acquired rights for a feature film adaptation of ALF. As a fan of this 80s TV sitcom, I've waited years for this. This being the kind of show that could speak to its audience, and being relatable. Plans for ALF to be a CGI-hybrid didn't exactly sit well with fans, as they'd prefer the puppet version. Plus, I'd hope that the movie project hadn't stalled, and is still being worked on... unless another movie studio (like Paramount, Universal, 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks, or Warner Brothers) wishes to acquire it from Sony. I've heard that Sony isn't doing well, and wouldn't be surprised if Viacom (owner of Paramount) or newly formed Warner Media (from AT&T-Time Warner merger... owner of Warner Brothers), or Comcast (owner of Universal) were to explore acquiring Sony in the next couple of years.

    it was funny when alf sneezed in the episode "breaking up is hard to do" and made kate jump back and spill scrambled eggs out of the pan she was holding and the eggs went onto brian's shirt and then alf used the tablecloth to wipe his nose. and I like the part in the episode "pilot" where alf sprayed shaving cream in the bathroom. and I like the scene in the episode "keepin the faith" where alf put brown foundation makeup on lynn's face and then he put red blusher on top of that. it looked the blusher brush tickled
