This example sounds more like it's about Willy being sympathetic than ALF being unsympathetic


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Due to the Melmakian proclivity for eating cats not aging well with the internet's reverence for them, along with ALF's self-destructive attitude/behavior and occasional [[ValuesDissonance tone-deaf jokes]], Willy comes off as a much more sympathetic character by present day standards.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The show repeatedly discusses how ALF can't contribute financially to the Tanner household because he's in hiding. There weren't many opportunities to work from home in the 1980s the show is set in, but in the modern era ALF could have conceivably done anything from a podcast to a YouTube video game channel to being a Patreon-based writer or artist without ever revealing his face.

It was a different David Silverman that wrote for ALF, not the animator that worked on The Simpsons.


** Al Jean and Mike Reiss wrote five episodes. Both went on to create and executive produce ''Series/TeenAngel'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic''. Jean, Reiss and the aforementioned David Silverman were also major creative forces on the earlier seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
