    ALF follows the adventures of Gordon Shumway, a furry, 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 (who also performed as ALF), the half-hour sitcom rose to popularity in the late 1980s, cementing itself in the pop culture zeitgeist.

    I had this on VHS as a kid and I replayed it hundreds of times. This is so crazy nostalgic for me watching this at 42. I remember all the lines as they are being said & it's kinda trippy! This is an absolute classic!!! Much thanks for putting it on youtube

      Paul Fusco had a Ton of Ambition and Tons More Creative Control and Freedom with the Saturday Morning Prequel animated Spinoff of ALF than he did with the Sitcom. In a Cartoon, there's no logic or sense of Reality because its Fictional and make believe. Fusco was able to bring his Full imagination into the Cartoon, when he was just completely limited on the Sitcom with his Puppeteers and Props and that in itself made production a living Hell for the Cast members(NONE of them Enjoyed working on ALF), The Execution of the Saturday Morning Spinoff is Opulent. I should know, I watched it from 1987-1990 on NBC.

    I remember watching this cartoon last time
    as a kid back in the early 1990's -
    possibly in the late 1980's.
    It was aired on a finnish 🇫🇮 TV.
    I'm 39 years old and still watch the old classic shows 😺👍.

    As much as I loved this series for its off-the-wall creativity and writing, it really disappoints me to realize this pilot episode was the only example of Rhonda's character development outside of being Gordon's satellite love interest-it all went downhill from there.
    Ditto with Stella the waitress, who , if she wasn't just working at the diner, she was spending one episode pining for a guy with "lots of lint".
