I was just wondering what time the super market near me opens so I checked on Google and was surprised the store had 5 reviews. I then noticed it was reviewed on Yelp. Oddly enough one guy did a review on both sites. Not overly negative or glowing, but just a simple review in different wording. Must be a super market aficionado if there is such a thing.
I guess I'm not really surprised super markets have reviews as I've seen them before. It's just that this is a big chain super market that is pretty much identical to all the other stores in the big chain so it just struck me as a little odd to review it (or review it twice even).

Most of the crap internet reviewers review.

Government offices. I like to say that they're like medicine, you take it/go there because you have to, don't expect it to taste good.

A few months ago, I started getting into ALF, and I was so excited that there was a podcast on AudioShocker reviewing every episode. I watched all 4 seasons, but now they're stopping a few episodes into season 3. I can't blame them really, the show does start to become mediocre.

I had a video cassette when I was younger, it was real world puppet Alf in a brief segment at the start introducing this and other episodes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kY-yNVzBj4 |

I had a video cassette when I was younger, it was real world puppet Alf in a brief segment at the start introducing this and other episodes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kY-yNVzBj4That was where I started my journey. To begin the long sad saga of Gordon Shumway, I started with ALF The Animated Series Season 1 and then back/forth (as aired) with ALF TAS Season 2 and ALF Tales Season 1 and 2 (all available on Amazon Prime Instant Video). I wanted to get the full gravity of the life and world and friends and family and culture (after all, ALF Tales is a manifestation of Melmacian theater, it's Gordon and pals putting on one show after another) of Melmac, before it was COMPLETELY DESTROYED~! Then to follow Gordon, now alone in the universe, on ALF, seasons 1 through 4, his family gone, his friends Skip and Rhonda miraculously surviving yet forever separated from him. Living with the Tanners, but always under a shroud of scorn. I even watched Project ALF, and ALF's Hit Talk Show, but of everything in the ALF universe they were the least entertaining. All of these serve to reinforce my favorite central conceit of the whole thing, a thesis I formulated watching the Saturday Morning Preview Special "ALF Loves a Mystery", that kind of started me down this horrible lonely path (much like Gordon's own lonely existence): Gordon Shumway is not funny. He is an embodiment of the worst hack comedian traits, and once he is torn from everything he knew and loved, he escapes to this performance non-stop, as a means of coping which inevitably proves to be inadequate. Ha! I kill me! This is really entertaining when he's with the Tanners, as they're kind of spiteful toward his every action, and you get this great back and forth as they spar with each other. But just set aside from that, you can only take so much Gordon before you become just as fed up with him as they were, and he's not even blowing up your kitchen. It is because of all of this that I believe the one truly quintessential work in the ALF franchise to be the fourth season episode "Make Em Laugh", which gives you a peek inside of ALF's nightmares, which are sadly rather similar to the suffering he has endured ever since it all went kablooey. From an objective standpoint, the Tanners are rather shockingly callous and insensitive to ALF, but he is also to them, and you can empathize with both of them, and it's just kinda the way things go. |

So when I saw him in Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue, I was a little more than confused. |

Ever read the Alf comic book by Marvel? Pretty good actually.

So when I saw him in Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue, I was a little more than confused. I didn't know he originated from a sitcom until this thread. I knew he was a puppet character on live action tv, but I don't know if it's my age or if it's my location that causes this (born in 91 in the UK), but I mainly knew him from some educational game my schools computers had on them and the video tape I had containing episodes of "alfs tales". I knew the game and cartoons were spinoffs of a tv show he was in, like I knew the TV show existed, but I don't think I ever saw it and I always assumed it was a kids show, I diddn't realise he was in a sitcom |
