ALF is an American sitcom that originally ran on 
NBC and was created by Paul Fusco. The title character was Gordon Shumway, a friendly alien nicknamed ALF (for Alien Life Form), who crash lands in the garage of the suburban middle class Tanner family. ALF’s body is covered with a fur, and he has a rippled snout, facial moles, and eight stomachs. His heart is apparently located in his head, and he likes to burp, eat cats, can whistle without opening his mouth and had a best friend on his home planet named Malhar Naik. He has a friend named Skip and a girlfriend named Rhonda, both of whom also escaped the explosion. He attended high school for 122 years and was captain of a Bouillabaisseball team (which is played on ice using shellfish as a ball). ALF has an enormous appetite (eating everything he can get his hands on); he is also troublesome, sarcastic(and awfully funny too!), slovenly and cynical, and sometimes he puts himself at the risk of being discovered while perpetrating some of his often-unintentional pranks. In the USA alone, ALF has won numerous awards. In 1987 the show won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy Program; in 1988 it won Favorite Show at the Kids’ Choice Awards; and at the 1989 Kids’ Choice Awards, ALF himself won Favorite TV Actor. Benji Gregory and Andrea Elson were also nominated in various Young Actor categories for their work on ALF at the Young Artist Awards during 1987–1989, with the show also receiving a nomination for Best Family Television Series

I never understood why ALF lasted as long as it did and why everyone was so in love it with because ALF was never ever funny. He was a wise ass in your face nuisance who cracked lamer than lame jokes all the time. I used to dream that ALF would have an unfortunate little ‘accident’ and that he would never be seen again.

When A.L.F’s voice changed. It was all wrong. I cant quite explain it but i thought his jokes fell flat after this happened. Normally a funny show though.

A.L.F wasnt the worst comedy ever by any means. A.L.F himself was a funny wise cracking alien. I know he was the star of the show but he really was the only funny character. This was my big problem with it. I cant remember any of the others saying/doing anything amusing in any episode. It really was just all about A.L.F. Needed a better supporting cast or atleast write them better lines and dont save them all for the alien.
