Most sitcoms nowdays are utterly forgetable. ALF however was such a hit with kids and even adults that the show surprised top tv execs with high ratings.
Alf crashlands onto the Tanner family's garage. His home planet Melmac, had blown up so there was no where for him to go. So naturally the Tanner's let Alf stay in their home and enjoyed years of laughs.
The alien's real name was Gordon Shumway, but everyone just called him Alf for short. The Tanner's must of been good hearted people, as over the 4 year run of the show, Alf blew up the kitchen, destroyed the living room, almost ruined a wedding that was going to be held at the house and etc.
Alf even made an impact in the retail world, selling dolls, books, games, clothes. You name it.
The 1996 tv movie that tried to patch of the series was a bit lackluster.
But Alf is doing great now. He's a pitchman for long distance phonecalls alongside Hulk Hogan and Terry Bradshaw.
