Alf on the Hallmark channel! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This morning I turned on my tv and saw an episode of Alf on the Hallmark channel. I thought this show was taken off that channel but was pleasantly surprised to see it back. Does anyone have the times, and dates that Alf plays? Does Hallmark only play the show on Saturday morning? Any information would be appreciated, Thanks!

It is only shown on Hallmark Saturdays at 6 and 6:30 in the AM

Okay, thanks for telling me. It seems like kind of a waste to only play a show twice a week, but what are you going to do. Hopefully they'll pick it up again on a full time basis!

I have basic cable and do not get the Hallmark Channel. Do you need a dish to pick it up, or does it usually come with basic cable?

I only have basic cable too, and I have the Hallmark channel. I think it comes down to where you live. Some places have certain channels, and others don't for whatever reason. The only show on the entire station that interests me is Alf, so you may have it and just never realized it. But if you don't have the Hallmark channel, don't worry your not missing much.

Yeah, the only reason I'd want it, is to see Alf. I double-checked which stations I get, and I do not get the Hallmark Channel. I'll just have to hope that another station will pick up Alf.

The Hallmark Channel is a cable based channel only. Meaning, cable pays them to stay within their own networks.

I went to Maine last year though, and in the hotel we had Hallmark. I actually got excited for a bit because I thought I could watch ALF. This was when they were airring it morning and night. The morning ALF there, was overridden by a local shopping network that ran every day. I think that is why Hallmark stays in the cable networks, so local cable companies can rent out time slots for local broadcasting. Thus, generating more money for Hallmark. Kinda sucks!
