I remember that show was on cbs when I was four to eight years old in '86 to '90. I loved watching that show for 4 years but it was so funny and great show that I ever seen when I was a kid! I remember that episode was Alf crashed to the earth from space to the Tanners' house that he wanted to meet the family because they never met an alien like ALF before. I remember one funny episode that ALF was doing something but it exploded in the kitchen table when they heard the noise then they saw the mess everywhere then Gregory helped to help ALF to clean tme mess what ALF did. It was so funny! I still miss that show for these years since it ended 14 years ago. I still remember that show when I was a child. It was so great! "ALF" is the best show of the late 1980's!
ALF is a classic comedy show from the 80s that I discovered online. I watched an episode, and became an instant fan. All of the actors are good in this show, and Paul Fusco does a great job as the voice of ALF. As great as this show is, it was still canceled in 1990, so in my opinion this show is great, and should be resurrected. It's funny, clever, and original, and deserves more recognition because of this. Now it is one of my favorite live-action shows, and I'd be ecstatic if there were more seasons, because after all, Sesame Street has been on the air for 40 years.

While the character has been turned into nothing more than some goofy icon of yesteryear, the show itself was quite unique in the fact that it combined the silliness of the Muppets and the usual kitsch of prime time sitcoms. Funny, eclectic and unusual, this show was a welcome relief from the usual sitcoms that dealt with family and what not. I'm glad this show is still being immortalized thanks to commercials, simply because it was one of those shows I had to fight with parents in order to see. Often times, good fun should take over for raunchiness and this is what made this show so spectacular. While the 80s was a bad fashion decade, sitcoms were a step above the rest after such an incredible decade as the 1970s. ALF just happened to be one of those shows.
This was undoubtably one of the best shows on television when it first came on. I loved the escapades of the furry little alien creature (ALF) as the family whose garage he crashed into tried to introduce him to human customs. I liked it. Unfortunately, towards the end it got kind of nasty, with the characters starting to fight all the time. Still, they had some memorable and warm moments and episodes.
Alf, the lovely Melmacian. I enjoyed watching every single episode. Unfortunately two were not aired, so the Germans missed watching Alf hosting the Tonight Show. But nevertheless, I grew up with this and I loved Alf and still love him. It´s so bad to see that there might be no continuation in the near future. Alf - 10 out of 10

- TriviaMax Wright later said that while he disliked working on the show, he got satisfaction from fan letters sharing how much joy and happiness the show brought them.
- GoofsIn the opening credits of seasons 1 and 2, the studio lights are visible in the shot of Brian, on the left.
- Crazy creditsALF can be heard laughing at the end of the closing credits in each episode.
- Alternate versionsMany of the syndicated episodes from the American DVD sets are further edited to remove music and songs which were claimed too expensive to license for home video. In a few cases, this results in episodes which run for less than 20 minutes! The European sets released by Warner does not suffer from these problems, except for: season one's "For your eyes only" lacks one scene due to music licensing issues. For season two's "Somewhere over the Rerun" the shorter syndicated version was used.
