Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
It's honestly pretty god-awful, but the actors were not to blame for that. They all did a fine job, including Benji Gregory, which was impressive for his age.
Like I said, do NOT rewatch it. It is just awful.
But when I watched it as a kid it was hilarious and I loved it.
This will make you really not want to rewatch it-

On the flip side, Dinosaurs is still pretty descent.
I watched it in Spanish and it was awesome! But agree, don't ruin Alf. We all want to remember how awesome it was.
La única forma en que Alf puede volver, es en forma de fichas.
Yes! Did you hear! Alf is back!
In pog form!....pog!! Thanks! Where these little plastic circles that came in as toys in your favorite Doritos or whatever snacks. Just FYI if you're ready this and got no insight. Then Bart's friend Millhouse said that on the Simpsons. This is a very important historical event that must be on every book. Specially history books.
Puck?
That’s not poggers.
"pog" dude.
From the episode where Bart sold his soul to Millhouse.
Let me guess, it's full of racist/stereotypical tropes that I didn't catch when I was 6 years old?
Some of that, though not as much as you'd expect, plus some sexism thrown on top. Mostly it was just really bad writing and the same joke over and over again.
So your average 80s/90s sitcom?
Yes.
laugh track plays
Alf tried to eat the family cat
Doesn't hold up?
