The Real Reason Why Alf Was Canceled

Running for four years with huge success, the American sitcom ALF was canceled in 1990 after it’s fourth season. When a classic sitcom ends before it rightfully should have, it’s always a shocking surprise. But when it comes to the NBC television series ALF, a show about an alien living with a suburban American family after crashing into their garage, that may not be the case.

This included the shows Fathers and Sons, Baby Boom and Manimal. You probably haven’t heard of any of them and for good reason.

The image of ALF was plastered over every kind of merchandise possible. Lunch boxes, trading cards, skateboards, comic books, dolls, even wristwatches. They released several albums by ALF, Stuck on Earth charted in Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
