Today, at the NBC TCA Summer Press Day, NBC’s Chairman Robert Greenblatt was asked how the Coach reboot came about. When he was done, he said, “And if that works, then ALF the series is next.” That news is the only reason why I want Coach to succeed.
Since ALF was unceremoniously cancelled, it ended with a cliffhanger and we never found out what Gordon Shumway decided to do. I would love to see the reboot continue and find out what the Alien Life Form did. My dream idea would be that ALF left on the spaceship to escape the military, but after giving it some thought he decides to return to Earth. He doesn’t realize how much time has passed and when he finally meets up with Brian, he’s shocked to find out his best friend is now older, married and a father. Brian has moved on since his friend deserted him and isn’t sure if he wants anything to do with his old pal.
I think it would be a hit, so why wait to find out how Coach does and greenlight the ALF reboot.
