  • You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog
    Mar 3 2025

    "The Tanners take in a stray dog, much to ALF's dismay. "


    It's big guest name time as Anne Ramsay from "The Goonies" and "Throw Momma From The Train" appears as an unscrupulous dog purchaser several months before her early passing. She does not look well throughout but still overshadows Ben Baker and John Matthews who look like stuttering tramps next to her acting chops.

    Feb 24 2025

    "ALF moves in with his blind friend Jody in her condo."


    Remember Blind Jody? Well, she's back - in....well, still blind form but she needs a place to stay and apparently that means only one man. Or alien. Perfect hostsBen BakerandJohn Matthews have laid out the best silverware too for their houseguestNina "Buckers" Buckley who shocks everyone by already being a massive ALF fan!

  • Someone to Watch Over Me (Part 2)
    Feb 17 2025

    "ALF spots a criminal by his neighbor's house, and walks inside to investigate."

    We left Ben and John on a cliffhanger - our first of the series but far from its last - with ALF trapped Chez Ochmonek as the Police close in on him. How will Willie get him out of this one? And who'll get Willie out too? Its an exciting one so fetch your popcorn and a gunbelt as its time to visit a very strange episode of ALF indeed...
