Among the original programs slated for TV Land include: new episodes of “ALF’s Hit Talk Show,” – which the network first aired as a pilot on July 7, 2004; “Emmy’s Greatest Moments,” a look at some of the most unforgettable highlights from five decades of the popular awards ceremony; “TV Guide and TV Land Present: The 100 Most Memorable TV Moments,” a five-part look at extraordinary milestones from television history and “Living in TV Land,” which chronicles the daily lives of noted television performers; and several others.

Eric777 07-24-2004, 12:20 PM Any idea where the show will be taped
Scoobiedoo30 07-25-2004, 01:05 AM I am so glad that The ALF'S Hit Talk Show has Been Picked Up that is very Good News.
hughpuppies 07-30-2004, 01:44 AM More than likely they will cancell it before to long. Like any show I like they cancell it before given it a chance.
Like the TV show that lasted a year called The Powers that Be.
Hope it lasts for a while. Give the kids of today a chance to get to know who ALF is.
adrian@Germany 08-01-2004, 07:16 AM I would like to see max wright, anne schedeen, andrea elson and benji gregory as guests on ALF's Talkshow. That would be a great reunion. But I think they don't wanna be around ALF anymore.
Miss Golden 08-10-2004, 01:29 AM I think the cast are all in pretty bad shape.
Max Wright - I think he got in trouble for DUI. But he still has been in the public eye most recently as a cast member on NORM.
I think the daughter had some kids a few years ago.
The mother would be in her mid 50s now, I think she would have about a 17 year old child now, judging by her pregnancy in 1988. I guess she is a mom of a teenager now.
The boy - Well, I think he would be in his late 20s now, probably doing porn or something.
adrian@Germany 08-10-2004, 09:38 AM "probably doing porn" hahaha, cool. but you're right who knows
hughpuppies 08-10-2004, 10:27 AM Found this about Benji Gregory.
It is from 4 years ago. So most of it is still relevant as of today.
As of June, 2000, Benji was living in San Francisco and a sophmore film major in college. Though he did not want to act again, he expressed interest in a career in entertainment.

So there may not be a reunion show sincew Benji Gregory said he does not want to act anymore.
It happens kids change their minds. The kid who played Arnolds white friend on Different Strokes named Robbie also said after Different strokes he no longer wanted to act and to quote what he said he said "hey I was a kid and kids can change their minds and decided I did not want to act no more" and he hasn't since then.
Pavan 09-27-2004, 09:09 PM The launch of ALF's Hit Talk Show has been delayed and will not start now on October 22. No new date has been given, but hopefully it'll be in November at least.

No, TV Land changed the plans today. Read the General Sitcoms board October thread for more details.
Eric777 09-28-2004, 12:11 AM (Cough cough) Thats just someone posting rumors Tvland has said the show will go on as planned

Yes, the SitcomsOnline.com News Team is posting rumors? :rolleyes: Why on earth would we even do that? We have been providing schedules and news for years now (check other sites that use our news like MortysTV.com and ClassicTVHits.com). If you don't believe us, that's fine. Tune in Oct. 22 at 11 p.m. and you'll see Three's Company instead of ALF's Hit Talk Show.
Pavan 09-29-2004, 04:56 PM ALF's Hit Talk Show will air Fridays beginning November 5 now.
Scoobiedoo30 10-06-2004, 12:05 PM I know I will be watching The Alf Hit Talk Sow on November 5, 2004
Vicki L. 10-26-2004, 05:42 AM Can it really be a regular talk show when humans are talking to a puppet? Will ALF claim to be from outer space as he did on his old sitcom? Anyone?
Pavan 10-27-2004, 03:58 PM ALF ENTERS THE LATE NIGHT ARENA WITH THE
PREMIERE OF ALF'S HIT TALK SHOW
Six New Episodes Set to Air Beginning Friday, Nov. 5
New York, NY, October 27, 2004 - Cats aren't the only ones who should be nervous about Alf now that TV Land has entered the late night showdown with Alf's Hit Talk Show. The half-hour talk show features legendary Ed McMahon as Alf's co-host, celebrity guests and comedy bits. The series has been picked up for six episodes and begins airing on Friday, November 5 at 11 p.m. (all times ET/PT). The premiere features guests Merv Griffin and Joe Mantegna.
"We are thrilled to be able to move forward to series on Alf's Hit Talk Show," states Sal Maniaci, Vice President, TV Land and Nick at Nite. "Alf and Ed are both celebrated television icons who obviously connect with our viewers, and we are excited that we are able to entertain our audience with Alf's wit and humor. This is definitely an alternative to many of today's standard late night programs."
Celebrities who are slated to appear in the first six weeks of Alf's Hit Talk Show include Merv Griffin, Joe Mantegna (Joan of Arcadia), Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond), Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle), Tom Arnold (actor), Tom Green (actor/comedian), Eric Roberts (Less Than Perfect), Leon Redbone (musician) and Jack Sheldon and The California Cool Quartet (musicians).
The show is executive produced by Paul Fusco and Burt Dubrow and is co-produced by Jean Wiegman.
TV Land Productions was created in 2003 to develop original programming that complements the network's successful acquired programming slate. TV Land Productions has also produced The TV Land Awards Show: A Celebration of Classic TV (March 2003 and 2004) and the Emmy-nominated The Dick Van Dyke Show, Revisited, the network's first original special for broadcast, which premiered on CBS in May.
