ALF

If any of you were little kids in the mid-80's (like I was) you enjoyed shows like the Smurfs, Thundercats, He-Man, Alvin & the Chipmunks, and even those old Marvel super hero shows. But that was all on Saturday morning. Where does the 6-year-old spend his TV time during the week? Watching ALF, of course! This show was a Monday night staple at 7 pm (cst). It's about an alien being who crash landed on Earth and spends his time wisecracking on the family that found him. He's got 8 stomachs, and he's not afraid to use them! This show spawned a cartoon series (which I also enjoyed watching). ALF goes right up there with Small Wonder and Charles In Charge as my favorite 80's sitcoms.

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!

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.

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

ALF is a classic show, I remember loving watching this show every week when I was a kid with my brother and parents, ALF was such a funny character and also very cuddly!

I recently saw this show again on DVD when my brother gave it to me for Christmas, didn't watch it until over the last month when I had some free time and the jokes were not as funny now as I remember when I was a kid, but obviously this is a show for families and children to enjoy so that's not too surprising, I bet kids today would still love this show. ALF is still an all time classic character.

I'd recommend this for any family, great for kids with some good morals in the episodes.
