974. ALF
― I HEART CREEPY MENS (Deric W. Haircare), Sunday, September 13, 2009 5:02 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
Dr. Gordon Shumway, a brilliant but troubled scientist for the planet Melmac's nuclear weapons program, sells a holocube of what he erroneously believes to be minor info to agents from a rival planet's military. The only reason Gordon engaged in this treason is that he needed money to support his growing addiction an exotic drug known as Felinide.
Of course, Melmac's enemies use the info Gordon sold them to hijack the planet's defenses and turn its own nuclear arsenal against itself, culminating in a devastating attack that leaves the planet destroyed and a pitifully small amount of Melmacian survivors without a home.
As it happens, Gordon was not on Melmac at the time of the attack but visiting his Felinide dealer on a nearby planet in the seedier part of solar system. After learning of the attacks from the Intergalactic News Holofeed, he puts two and two together and realizes that he is responsible for the genocide of over 99% of his own species. Now homeless, he checks into in a run-down motel for a while under an assumed name and holes himself up with a month's supply of Felinide
until he can figure out what to do.
In the aftermath of the attacks, the rest of the survivors demand justice and an investigation is convened by the Intergalactic High Court. The results of the investigation reveal that Gordon Shumway is the man responsible for selling out his planet. Though it isn't yet known whether or not he survived, Gordon nevertheless charged by the High Court with genocide and declared a fugitive. Bounty hunters from Alpha Centauri to Timbuq II are dispatched in their cruisers to pursue him and bring him back dead or alive.
Soon afterward Gordon's location is leaked to the High Court and he just narrowly escapes capture from a bounty hunter by leaving the solar system in his run-down star cruiser. On the run and suffering from Felinide withdrawal, he journeys to a backwater planet where the chemical necessary for synthesizing the drug is said to be in abundant supply. The chemical is found exclusively in the brains of a domesticated quarupedal mammal species, known to the planet's technologically primitive natives as "housecats".
As he enters the planet's atmosphere his cruiser malfunctions, causing him to crash land into the dwelling of a family of said natives...
Welcome to Earth, ALF.

950. Barney Miller. Everyone assumes the others are on the take, things are disappearing from the evidence room, and at least once an episode there's a Mexican standoff.
949. Diff'rent Strokes. Mr. Drummond has...certain particular reasons for taking in these young boys.
948. Hogan's Heroes. Brought to you by executive producer Eli Roth.

Please see number 975.
Also: I had forgotten that they already did Project ALF, which was at least a little darker than the series proper.

That Family Matters vid is actually pretty cool - I mean total homemade feel but there are some fuckin BRILLIANT ways they make stuff from the show work in the cop movie setting, especially the "Go home, go home, go home!" bit. Thing made me smile anyway.
