Well, out of all comedy reboots, this one is the one I'd truly wish for (since Nanny reboot is unlikely)! The word around the net today is that Warner
Alf ended its last season back in 1990.
Bros. is in early stages of bringing back 80's favourite sitcom ALF to the small screens! As you remember more than thirty years ago, the sitcom followed furry, sarcastic and yet adorable Alien Life Form called ALF who fell with his ship into the backyard of an unsuspecting family and stayed with them wrecking chaos in their house while trying to munch on their cat. If I'm correct, the new season would see Alf returning back to Earth but to some other family not the Tanners. The series had four seasons on NBC. Meanwhile, Frasier and Mad About You reboots are not happening after all.

James Norton might join Little Women
WOMEN'? Unlike, Alf, a reboot that nobody really wants (there were really too
many versions already) - the new big screen re imagination of LITTLE
WOMEN might add, according to 'Deadline', our dearest James Norton to
the cast which already includes Meryl Streep, Emma Stone, Timothee
Chalamet, Saoirse Ronan, Eliza Scanlen and Florence Pugh! Helming the
adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's popular novel is Greta Garwig. Set in
the background of American Civil War, LITTLE WOMEN revolves around the
March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, on their journey to womanhood,
guided by their mother Marmee.

They've ordered FAM multicam sitcom into series with Nina Dobrev as a young woman whose dreams of an upstanding life with her new fiancé are dashed when her younger train wreck half-sister comes to live with her to escape their train wreck of a father.

backyard is the opposite of everything annoying about today’s
party scene. There are no cell phones (not even to “look something up”),
earning a seat at the bar takes time and losing a challenge means
drinking a limey, sugary “not-beer” drink. As the oddball cast of
regulars will tell you, hanging out at Abby’s is a coveted honour. But
once you’re in, you’re family. Neil Flynn, Nelson Franklin, Jessica
Chaffin, Leonard Ouzts and Kimia Behpoornia star.
