Alf was an awesome show. I don't think I've seen it since it was still on the air. I think it was a time where people just wanted to watch a puppet from Melmac. Just for a change, anyway. It kind of broke away from the typical sitcom.

People couldn't get enough of him in the '80s; ALF memorabilia was everywhere. I even had an ALF T-shirt.

I remember this show quite well, and with fond memories.

Ha! I kill me! Ok, you had to see it to understand!

Alf ruled!

never heard of it

I still have Alf stuff put away somewhere. TO HATTER: Melmacian, I think. The cat is the remedy, not the cause. 

UPDATE: Found my stuff. I have one stuffed Alf that's a little over a foot tall and ALL FOUR Burger King puppets. Yes, you can all be jealous now...

Four stars if you are a little kid. Otherwise it is torture to watch.

i still havemy stuffed alf and i scare my cat with him lol

This Is A Prime Example Of How Bad TV Was In The 80's. I Never Watched This Show. I Didn't Have To. I'm Not A Big Puppet Fan.

Another great 80s sitcom. I don't care how ridiculous the idea of a cat-eating alien from Melmac is, its funny. I don't understand why the networks don't put good comedies on the air anymore. Everything is either some stupid drama (Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, etc.) or a ridiculous reality show. I watch more reruns of late 80s and early 90s sitcoms than I do of any current tv show.

Wow...all I remember about this show is that Alf is an alien who eats cats...which is AWESOME!! Whoever thought up this idea is a comic genius. Unfortunately, the show itself probably wasn't that great, because I remember it boring me to pieces as a kid. 3 and a half stars for the fact that Alf eats cats.

Alf ruled!

Awful show. I don't think any of the untalented cast ever acted again.

Numbah does a good Momakian Hiccup. (Alf's hiccups after eating a cat.) UPDATE: Thanks, numbah.

alf was a funny short cat eating furball. i loved the show.

Hand me my shotgun. I have to kill my TV if this comes on.

only slightly better than mamas family

Why this show was high in the ratings in the 80's just baffles me?

Pretty funny but I like alf better in 10-10-2-20 commercials.

man, did i wanna punch alf...

You gotta love ALF. Even PETA can't complain...he never ate Lucky.

Alf could be funny at times. The Dad was such a nerd. If you hate cats, Alf could be your hero.

You know, I really liked this stupid show. They ran out of ideas quickly though, and the later episodes (read: anything after season one) are painful to watch. Willie's reactions to Alf were hysterical. He always looked like he was about to spontaneously combust.

I loved Alf!

This show was ok.

I haven't seen this in years. I did like it as a kid. It is such an 80's show. I loved the 80's sitcoms, most of them.

Alf was a great show, I can's see why some of you hated it, it was all about an alien that crashed in a garage and his adventures. It was one of the best shows ever created- I wish it was still on because I would watch it.

I'm gonna give it 4 stars simply due to the fact that Alf ate cats and cats are mean, useless animals.

This show was just average, but somewhat more inventive than most. I thought the humor wore thin in the first season. The actress who played the mother had a nice chest...

ALF WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS GROWING UP. HE WAS SO CUTE AND FUNNY. I WISH THEY WOULD SHOW RERUNS OR SOMETHING!!!

This show was one of my favorites growing up, it was so funny and cute and who can forget Alf's unshakable appetite for cats?

Good clean show, I wish it had lasted longer.

I wish he had caught that cat! The show was harmless and on occassion funny.

Such a nice family show. Wish it was still on.

It was a cute show, but nothing special.

Instead of a series about Alf, I'd rather see a series about Max Wright's life according to the Enquirer!

For a time – and it was a fairly short time I will admit – Alf was a really cute, funny, and enjoyable family show. No, it didn’t try to tackle mind boggling or serious topics nor was it trying to educate or convince you to vote for a certain political party. It was merely a kind of unique and off-the-wall little comedy – kind of the Muppets light-hearted answer to ET. Alf himself was a wisecracking, but basically good-natured character who rather resembled a two-legged anteater. He provided his adopted family with a weekly combination of insanity, grief, silliness, affection and loyalty. Like the other wonderful Henson creations, his unique look, voice and actions resulted in an endearing and very likeable little creature. I doubt the creators of this show ever meant us to take Alf’s plight of being separated from his beloved planet Melmac any more seriously than the love story between Kermit and Miss Piggy. Still, some of the writing contained bigger doses of wit and wisdom than several other TV shows I could name. I think Alf ran its course and, in doing so, he accomplished his mission – to bring us a little good, clean fun for a little while.

ALF is one bad series. It's extremly confusing and goofy, and is never, ever entertaining. Max Wright was such a sore loser and poor actor. The whole entire premise was stupid, although it made ALF a popular 80's trend. It may have been cute back then, but the humor is so unfunny and used it's hard to enjoy one bit of it. A poorly written theme song also.

A good show? Alf?????

Brain dead show,but it was fun anyway.

Oh, c'mon.

A little silly at times, but a harmless and funny show. My only problem was the way that NBC let the show end. It served better. The guy who played Willie on the show is now on Norm.

Loved it as a kid and still do. It was a show that didn't hinge on sexual tensions....GREAT!

Alf is funniest alien i know

I gave it a 4 because as a kid I loved it. *hides in shame*
