I'm a huge fan of Alf, but my cat, whose name is Sombritas, hates him, and I'll never understand why 😅😅... since that extraterrestrial is so funny haha 🐱🐱
Something I admire about the American approach to their products is the boundless imagination of their creators and screenwriters, combined with creativity brought to life by a variety of artists—such as puppeteers—which turned ideas that weren’t initially very appealing into the television trends of the era, allowing their culture to take the world by storm with its way of life and way of thinking.... Who would have thought that a strange alien costume would dominate the ’80s and ’90s 👽👽
Alf is a 1986 TV series that, for me as a child, was like watching an extension of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but much more coherent in its design and character when viewed through adult eyes
Yo soy un gran fan de Alf pero mi Gato llamado Sombritas lo odia y nunca entendere el por que 😅😅... ya que ese extraterrestre es muy divertido jaja 🐱🐱
Algo que admiro del enfoque Americano para sus productos es la amplia imaginacion que tienen sus creadores y guionistas mas una creatividad ejecutada a traves de variados artistas como por ejemplo titiriteros lo cual hacia que ideas no tan atractivas de ver, terminaran siendo la tendencia en television de la epoca que permitio a su cultura invadir el mundo con su modo de vivir y de pensar.... Quien iba a decir que un traje de extraterrestre extraño dominaria los 80 y 90 👽👽
Alf es una serie de TV de 1986 que para mi en mi epoca de niñez pues era como ver una extension de ET el extraterrestre pero mucho mas coherente en su diseño y forma de ser al observarlo con ojos de Adultez
It has a sense of humor that I think the younger generations have left behind... until I see Lucky the cat and tell myself that they’d really love this and it would make them laugh haha 🤩🤩
I’m sharing the show’s opening song, courtesy of Prime Video’s official verified YouTube channel. For old-school fans, it’ll be like waking up back in their beloved ’80s or ’90s, and for me, it’ll bring back memories of those awesome scenes with that cat haha 🐱🐱
I’m really emphasizing that cat because, as a kid, I found it incredibly entertaining to watch his interactions with Alf—which remained a constant throughout the show. Those were the moments I looked forward to the most when watching the episodes 😃😃. Man, how I used to laugh at their chaotic relationship! Now, as an adult, I really appreciate that cat’s acting skills haha 😁😁—because just imagining all the chaos on set and how that cat managed to create legendary scenes I’ll always remember, especially how he runs away in the intro—it’s so cool and nostalgic to watch for those of us who saw the show and know these creatures are no longer with us; it’s simply a matter of remembering them fondly 🥹🥹
In terms of the show as a whole, as a way to attract a new audience that might be inspired to watch it as a family, the most powerful element of this series was the family wisdom conveyed by the family patriarch, Willie Tanner, played by Max Wright
You can tell the writers made an effort to include certain moral lessons—it’s always like that in stories, and it’s nothing new—but in Willie’s case, as a kid, I really focused on listening to him, on paying attention to what he said, because I saw him as a source of wisdom in those moments when he’d sit down to just chat… as if he were really a father 🥹🥹
The series is called Alf, but I think the soul of this series is Willie. The lessons were meant for him; his experiences were teachings that could comfort the souls of parents who were shouldering the burden of raising a family and motivate them to keep going—despite the problems they faced at home and in society—to make their families happy 💪🏻💪🏻
Tiene un humor que para las nuevas generaciones considero ha quedado atras.... hasta que veo a Suertudo el gato y me digo a mi mismo que esto si que les encantaria y les haria reir jaja 🤩🤩
Comparto la cancion opening del show gracias al canal oficial verificado de Prime Video en Youtube, para los de vieja escuela sera como despertar nuevamente en sus preciados 80 o 90 y en mi caso seria recordar las geniales escenas de ese Gato jaja 🐱🐱
Hago mucho enfasis en ese gato porque de niño me era extremadamente entretenido de ver su interaccion con Alf que se mantiene constante a traves del show, eran situaciones que esperaba con mucha ansia cuando veia los capitulos 😃😃, vaya como reia con su relacion caotica donde ahora de adulto destaco las habilidades actorales de ese gato jaja 😁😁, porque el imaginarme todo el caos del set y ese gato lograba escenas legendarias que siempre recordare, sobre todo el como huye en la intro, es tan genial y nostalgico de ver para quienes vimos el show y sabemos que estos seres ya no estan, es simplemente recordarlos con cariño 🥹🥹
A nivel de Show en General como aporte a una audiencia nueva que se anime a ver en familia, la interaccion mas poderosa de esta serie era la Sabiduria Familiar que transmitia el patriarca de la familia llamado Willie Tanner interpretado por Max Wright
Se nota el esfuerzo de los guionistas por dejar ciertas moralejas, siempre es asi en las historias, tampoco es nada nuevo pero en el caso de Willie, a mi de niño si me enfocaba en escucharlo, en prestarle atencion a lo que decia porque le veia como un ser de sabiduria en esos momentos que se sentaba a simplemente platicar.... como si en verdad de un padre se tratara 🥹🥹
La serie se llama Alf pero pienso que el Alma de esta serie es Willie, los aprendizajes eran para el, sus vivencias eran enseñanzas que podian consolar el Alma de Padres que llevaban la batuta de una carga familiar y les motivara a seguir adelante a pesar de los problemas que tuvieran en casa y sociedad para lograr hacer felices a sus familias 💪🏻💪🏻
One thing to criticize about the series is that, in my case, I don’t find it appealing to watch such childish themes in this type of show. This criticism is aimed at the lessons or stories where the child Brian Tanner, played by Benji Gregory, took center stage—those episodes were so bad and boring 😅😅
I was actually glad when that kid wasn’t on screen, haha—I was happy until he showed up with his silly drama.... Basically, this is a general criticism of American productions that, with their child-centric approach, end up being bland just to rake in money by making these kinds of series and movies more commercial to please nerdy parents
One extremely positive thing I notice now is that Alf had the soul of a content creator—he staged scenes and edited his videos, which turned out great, like when he made his music video 🤩🤩. Haha, what would Alf be doing today? He’d probably be a TikToker recording his family’s antics 🤣🤣
Un elemento a criticar de la serie y es que en mi caso no me es atractivo de ver los temas en este tipo de productos que sean tan infantiles, esta critica recae en las enseñanzas o historias donde el niño Brian Tanner interpretado por Benji Gregory era mas protagonista, que capitulos tan malos y aburridos 😅😅
A mi me alegraba cuando ese niño no estaba en escena jaja, era feliz hasta que el aparecia con sus conflictos bobos.... En si esto es una critica general a los productos americanos que con el enfoque infantil caen en lo soso para poder llenarse de dinero haciendo mas comercial este tipo de series y tambien peliculas para satisfacer a los padres de familia ñoños
Un detalle extremadamente positivo que noto ahora en la actualidad, es que Alf tenia alma de creador de contenido, el hacia puestas en escena y editaba sus videos los cuales le salian genial como cuando hizo su video musical 🤩🤩, Jaja que seria de Alf en la actualidad, seria un TikTokero grabando travesuras a la familia 🤣🤣
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
