ALF Cannot work in any other period AFTER the 80s!!

Paul Fusco (Voice/Main Puppeteer of ALF) has been trying to bring back the Cat Eating Alien Puppet from Melmac for a while. Apparently it's happening. I predict failure...
I know that often I do predict Failure with adaptations of stuff, but hear me out... or Read me out if we want to be more specific.

ALF CANNOT Work in the 21st Century. PERIOD.
Why is that?
First things first:
What are you using to Read this Blog?
-the Internet. Right? With the Internet you can access a lot of stuff immediately. Remember the Russian Meteor? Well, a Spaceship crashing in a Los Angeles Suburb would be newsworthy super fast.

-Now in the 21st Century almost everyone has a Smartphone with a camera. If they don't catch the Spaceship crashing; they'd probably catch the Tanners' weird dog and upload it to Youtube or something.

Now let's suspend our disbelief long enough that the Tanners can:
a) Hide the fact that a Spaceship crashed in their garage...
b) keep ALF hidden from neighbors like the nosy Ochmoneks.

One of ALF's biggest problems was how he phoned pretty much anyone anywhere on Earth.
on the 21st Century that issue is partially gone with VOIP services like say, Skype... The closest thing to an issue would be ALF hogging the computer use to troll on forums or rant on a blog... going over the Bandwith Caps would be the closest ALF would get to a modern version of the crazy long distance calls issue. Because again, in the 21st Century many are getting rid of the Home Phones.


The other Reason WHY I strongly believe it will fail:
Paul Fusco.
Ever since ALF ended he's been pretty much whoring ALF everywhere.
I can accept the Animated "prequel series"... or the infamous "Cartoon All-Stars" special
He had the Puppet for cameos on other shows like Matlock

Heck, ALF was even on THE LOVE BOAT The next wave... Not to mention that he also hosted Hollywood Squares once

This is pushing it...





Seriously, when you are making TV commercials with Hulk Hogan; you've reached a NEW LOW...

Now since Fusco IS PRETTY MUCH ALF, he could be a bit of a nuisance with the reboot.
There have been plenty of stories on how working on ALF was a nightmare. I would expect these to happen again if they use practical effects for ALF. Now if ALF is Computer Generated, Fusco will still meddle with the lines and try to hog the best lines for ALF.

Now another thing this project is forgetting... It's not the same without Max Wright. See Project ALF for ALF without Willie... and we know how well that worked. If it does happen, we're getting a new Willie. Sadly, it won't be the same.

Here's a challenge for the movie, if it indeed does happen: Try and get Max Wright in for a cameo AND Interact with ALF.
