5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!, January 11, 2009
This review is from: ALF Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I watched this in the 80's and loved it. I know it may seem dumb to some However, sometimes mindless viewing and laughter is the best after a mind bending day.

5.0 out of 5 stars The shows of my childhood!, December 1, 2011
This review is from: ALF Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I have such fond memories of ALF from my chidhood and now I'm sharing ALF with my children! It's a fun show and we all enjoy it! It is what it is, it's a silly show from the 80's so if you want deep, not it. If you want mindless entertainment and a warm fuzzy feeling (if you were a child in the 80's!)this is the show for you!
