Remembering the beloved sitcom 'Alf'

Last year, Ryan Reynolds helped bring the extraterrestrial back to life in a series of sponsored content shorts on his newly launched Maximum Effort Channel, which had acquired the rights to the show and streams on platforms including Tubi, Fubo and Amazon Freevee.

"Besides my irrational love of Alf growing up, one of the reasons we licensed this show was precisely because ('Alf' co-creator) Paul (Fusco), Shout! Studios and our intrepid brand partners wanted to plot with us to bring Alf back to life," the "Deadpool" star said in a statement.

Michu Meszaros, the actor who wore an Alf costume in full-body shots of the furry brown puppet, died in 2016 at age 76.
