Hit 80’s Sitcom Alf Is Coming Back To Television Thanks To This A-List Celebrity
If you are fan of nostalgia and old tv sitcoms, get excited because the hit 1980’s sitcom Alf is coming back thanks to a very famous celebrity. Ryan Reynolds is bringing Alf back to the small-screen. The megastar is bringing back another classic but in a new way after disclosing that he and his production firm, Maximum Effort, were working on a Biker Mice from Mars revival. Ryan, along with Alf creator Paul Fusco and Shout! Studios, announced that they would be bringing the well-known alien back to television as part of some sponsored segments on the Maximum Effort Channel, which is accessible on platforms like Fubo, Amazon Freeview, or Tubi. Ryan said, “At Maximum Effort, we love taking risks and blurring the lines between shows and sponsorship because we believe both can be equally entertaining. Besides my irrational love of ALF growing up, one of the reasons we licensed this show was precisely because Paul, Shout! Studios and our intrepid brand partners wanted to plot with us to bring ALF back to life. Tune in this Caturday!” ALF is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from September 22, 1986, to March 24, 1990.
Ryan is having a very good week, because it was also announced his hit show “Welcome to Wrexham” with Philadelphia native and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star and Rob McElhenney is coming back for another season on FX. I haven’t watched it yet, but everyone said it’s so good. Ryan also will have some extra time on since he and bff Hugh Jackman are holding off filming as Marvel’s ‘Deadpool 3′ halts productions for the SAG-AFTRA strike. So in the meantime Ryan will have time to work on his new network and maybe he will bring back some other old school TV shows. What is your favorite old school tv show? I would love Out of This World or It’s A Living.
