It has been successfully adapted into a film with Ellen Page playing Shane, Aubrey Plaza playing Jenny and Anna Kendrick playing Alice.

Alf
After the show stopped being televised life continued on for Alf and the Tanner family. For the last ten years Willie and Kate have empty nesters with an alien living in their attic.

After nearly thirty years of being part of the family Willie accidently walked into the attic while Alf was changing and caught Alf zipping up his furry costume. Willie was devastated to discover that Alf was just a guy with a furrie fetish named Gordon Shumway.
