So, you already know I am a sitcom addict and I’m currently doing a family rewatch of Alf for nostalgia reasons ( it was the very first live action sitcom I watched as a kid, since my very first sitcom was The Simpsons). 

This time i landed on an episode i didn’t remember at all, one where Alf tries to help Kate’s mother ( the grandma of the Tanners by mother’s side) move on from the death of her husband. At some point of the episode after screwing things up, he sends himself on big box in the mail to her new place in an attempt of talking to her. 

She takes his advice, accepts the invitations of a guy who wants to go out with her, etc and at the end he sends himself on the mail back to the Tanners.

Sheila and Brian Sinclair facts for their 80th anniversary.

Her: Sheila Rose Seaton (6 June 1916 - 10 March 2001) Hospital Almoner (Figured out how much people could pay and set up payment plans.) Daughter of a doctor. Born in Leeds but moved to Harrogate in 1939.

Him: Wallace Brian Vaughan Sinclair (27 September 1915 – 13 December 1988) Veterinarian, eventual head of the Veterinary Investigation Centre in Leeds. Son of a crofter. Born in Harrogate.

Together: Probably met in church, though that is conjecture. Married 20 April 1944 at St. Robert's Church in Harrogate. Brian shipped out with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps four months later and was stationed in India for a year and a half before being demobilized a few months after the war ended and returning home to Sheila.

For a few years post-war they lived in Inverness Scotland for Brian's work, until he was offered a transfer to the Leeds office. They lived in Harrogate for the rest of their lives. In later years, Brian did a number of talks around Britain and in the US. Sheila often accompanied him. They had three daughters together: Anthea, Christine, and Diana.

Here is a colorized image of Sheila and Brian at a conference in San Antonio Texas where he gave a speech.

read half a paragraph of a fic and wound up spending half an hour on wikipedia to see if something in the paragraph was based on real events

16th January 1964 - The Beatles song 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' reaches number one in America

Paul: We got a telegram, in the evening, after one of the shows when we were having a drink at the hotel. And it came... Capitol Records: 'Congratulations, lads - number one in US charts' or something. So we all hit the roof. I remember riding round on Mal Evans' back for about twenty minutes or so... "Yay-hey-hey! <whip>". And he was, you know, happy to bear me. It was just very high hysterics, you know. George: And Brian rang me, round about half past one in the morning, he said, "I know you won't mind being woken up," I said, "Well, I wasn't asleep anyway". He said, "Well, I've just heard from America... we're number one." "Fantastic!" He said, "Do you want to come round?" "Not 'alf." So we went round and had a great... drink-up, and it was lovely, super. We never went to bed that night.

Holly Wheeler's room in season 5

We have a drawing of ballerinas (like if someone is getting Vecnad), one drawing of an owl (?) (owls in the background = bad omens theory) with a red balloon(?) like in IT and the one near the yellow I don't get exactly what it could be... She also has a blonde Barbie head that I feel like could be both because she's a kid that wants to play at being pretty and because for the symbolism it's an image of her mom I think

Lots of colours and happy vibes, she seems to be a very artistic kid, she also plays something (I think it's most likely a violin)

she loves rainbows, the plushie seems to be either a mouse or a bear but I'm leaning towards the mouse because she has the Fievel poster... I'm curious about that other smaller poster but I don't know what it could be about...

Then we also had this side of her room with the Alf poster

Alf is an alien that "likes to eat cats and comment on the stupidity of humanity" apparently... Demodog/Henry related imo

Plot of the show from Wikipedia:

Gordon Shumway is an alien from the planet Melmac who follows an amateur radio signal to Earth and crash-lands into the garage of the Tanners, a suburban middle-class family who live in the San Fernando Valley area of California. The family consists of social worker Willie (Max Wright), his wife Kate (Anne Schedeen), their teenage daughter Lynn (Andrea Elson), younger son Brian (Benji Gregory), and pet cat Lucky. ( Holly Wheeler as a cat... lol )

Willie gives Gordon the nickname ALF ("Alien Life Form"), and, unsure what to do, the Tanners take ALF into their home to hide him from the Alien Task Force, a part of the U.S. military that specializes in aliens, and their nosy neighbors Trevor and Raquel Ochmonek (John La Motta and Liz Sheridan), until he can repair his spacecraft. Though his culture shock, survivor's guilt, and loneliness often cause problems for the Tanners, as well as their fear of what could happen if others were to discover his existence, they grow to care for and love him as a part of the family.

It is later revealed that ALF's home planet, Melmac, exploded due to nuclear war, leaving him and other survivors of his species without a home, and that he survived its destruction because he was away as part of the Melmac Orbit Guard. In the season one episode "Pennsylvania 6-5000", ALF tries to convince the President of the United States to stop the nuclear program, as he fears that Earth could suffer a similar fate to Melmac, though a misunderstanding causes the President and national security to call the FBI to arrest Willie.

Episodes dealt with ALF learning about Earth and making new friends both within and outside the Tanner family, including Willie's brother Neal (Jim J. Bullock), Kate's widowed mother Dorothy (Anne Meara), with whom ALF has a love-hate relationship, her boyfriend and later husband Whizzer (Paul Dooley), the Ochmoneks' nephew Jake (Josh Blake), the psychologist Larry (Bill Daily) and the blind woman Jody (Andrea Covell), who never learns of ALF's true nature, but does know through touch that he is short and hairy.

Changes occur in the Tanner household over the course of the series, including the birth of a new child, Eric, who was added to the series because Anne Schedeen was pregnant at the time; ALF moving from the laundry room to the attic, which he and Willie convert into an "apartment", and the death of Lucky in the season four episode "Live and Let Die", which ALF accepts despite having previously attempted to catch and eat him due to having come to love and respect him. When ALF adopts a new cat with the intention of eating it, he grows fond of it and allows the Tanners to adopt it.

(Maybe Henry grows fond of Holly and doesn't kill her because of that???)

In the 1996 movie Project ALF, which follows ALF after his capture by the USAF, the Tanners do not appear due to moving to Iceland.

and some books of foreshadowing that we analyzed previously, Peter Pan, A royal Pain, Nancy Drew and the secret of the old clock... which tbh seems all related to Henry and seeing that he will take Holly at one point it makes sense

These are the covers, it seems she's in the middle of reading the Nancy book because she has a bookmark there

An important note is that one of these books, A Royal Pain, talks about someone thinking they've been switched at birth with someone else, and this switched at birth idea gets also associated with Nancy in season 3 when she talks to her mom...

Then we have obviously the "Nancy" book with the clock being related to Vecna's clock and there's a mystery connected to this clock and then Peter Pan which Henry is sort of a dark version of that when he takes children away to a land where they stop growing........... 💀

people have already talked about this and also about Petergate (the name Peter gets repeated in the show SO many times) and the belief that there might be someone important to the story called Peter that we don't know about yet, or maybe that has been mentioned only once in season 4 aka Owens son that seems to be both dead and somehow, the military thinks he may be related to how Chrissy died so maybe he died in the same way as her?

Because they take his things and put this line in the show for some reason

RIP Benji Gregory

It was reported yesterday that Benji Gregory, aka Brian Tanner from ALF, died last month on June 13. It is assumed that he died of vehicular heatstroke, along with his service dog, Hans.

As y'all know, I'm a huge ALF fan, so this comes to me as a pretty huge shock and tragedy. Brian was never the biggest character on the show, but he had some pretty memorable moments. My favorite may be his performance of the Asparagus song in "It Isn't Easy...Bein' Green".

RIP Benji and Hans. 🕊🕊 You will always been remembered. Many condolences to his family. And, while we're on the topic, be careful in the heat, y'all. Stay cool and hydrated.

Benji Gregory, the child star who appeared in ALF, has died aged 46

Gregory’s body was found on 13 June, with a cause yet to be determined.

According to TMZ, the actor was found in his car in a Chase Bank car park in Peoria, Arizona alongside the body of his service dog, Hans.

The actor’s sister Rebecca, speaking to the outlet about her brother, revealed that the child star suffered from bipolar disorder, depression and a sleep disorder that sometimes caused him to remain awake for days at a time.

The outlet notes that those close to Gregory believe he might have died of heatstroke after falling asleep in his car.

Gregory appeared in all four seasons of the 1980s sitcom ALF, which is an acronym standing for “Alien Life Form”.

The series, which aired on ITV in the UK, saw the alien crash land in the garage of the Tanner family, led by Max Wright and Anne Scedeen, with Gregory playing their son Brian alongside Andrea Elson, who played his sister Lynn.

Ahead of securing the role in ALF, Gregory, whose grandmother was his agent, appeared in TV shows including Fantasy Island, TJ Hooker and The Twilight Zone.

In the 1990s, he guest starred in the sitcom Punky Brewster and provided a voice for animated film Once Upon a Forest. Gregory also voiced the character of Biff Tannen in an animated version of Robert Zemeckis’s hit 1985 film Back to the Future. Tannen was played by Thomas F Wilson in the franchise.

The following decade, Gregory enlisted in the US Navy and, in 2005, receiving an honourable medical discharge. After officially leaving the Navy in 2006, he married his wife Sarah.

Gregory’s sister asked people to donate to The Actors Equity Foundation or the ASPCA on her brother’s behalf.
