The sides of ALF
- A furry alien crashed into a suburban garage
- A family hiding him from the neighbours
- An alien who wants to eat the cat
ALF is good for you if…
- you like a wisecracking alien emptying the fridge.
- you want a half hour where the worst risk is the neighbours finding out.
- you want a sitcom with nothing harsher than a cat joke.
ALF is bad for you if…
- a laugh track and a 1986 living room feel dated to you.
- four seasons and close to a hundred episodes is too much for you.
