ALF follows the adventures of Gordon Shumway, a wise-cracking alien from the planet Melmac who crash lands into the garage of the Tanner family. The Tanners offer him a home and give him the nickname ALF, short for "Alien Life Form." Created by Tom Patchett (The Carol Burnett Show) and Paul Fusco (Puppeteer & Voice of ALF), the popular sitcom is a staple of 1980's pop culture and has developed a cult following in the years since.
HBO has picked up the half-hour comedy, The Chair Company, starring, written and executive produced by Tim Robinson and written and executive produced by Zach Kanin. Andrew DeYoung directed and executive produced the pilot. After an embarrassing incident at work, a man (Robinson) finds himself investigating a far-reaching conspiracy.
In addition to Robinson as William Ronald Trosper, series regulars include Lake Bell (Harley Quinn, Mother Couch) as Barb Trosper, Sophia Lillis (It, I Am Not Okay With This) as Natalie Trosper, Will Price (After the Hunt, A Complete Unknown) as Seth Trosper, Joseph Tudisco (A Brooklyn Love Story, FBI) as Mike Santini.
