re: TV Shows Based On Terrible Premises

Yep, ALF. Liked the show, just a terrible premise.
quote:
Gordon Shumway is an alien nicknamed ALF (an acronym for Alien Life Form) by Willie Tanner in the pilot episode. ALF was born on October 28, 1756, on the Lower East Side of the planet Melmac. Melmac was located six parsecs past the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, and had a green sky, blue grass and a purple sun. The commonly-used currency is a "Wernick" (named after producer Sandy Wernick) which is equal to $10 American dollars. Lint, gravel, and foam are as precious on Melmac as gold is on Earth, whereas gold and platinum are so common that they are used in place of porcelain to make toilets and sinks, as seen in the Season One episode "Baby, You Can Drive My Car" where ALF sells the gold and platinum plumbing in his ship to buy a Ferrari for Lynn.
ALF's body is covered with fur and he has a rippled snout, facial moles, and eight stomachs. His heart is apparently located in his head. He likes to burp and eat cats, and can whistle without opening his mouth, He had a best friend on his home planet named Malhar Naik. He has a friend named Skip and a girlfriend named Rhonda, both of whom also escaped the explosion. He attended high school for 122 years and was captain of a Bouillabaisse ball team, a game played on ice using shellfish as a ball.

Smart Guy was a goofy premise but it was actually good. It still is good today which I can't say about a lot of other childhood favorites.
