Editorial Reviews

The Tanner family is an average American family. One day, they discover that they have a visitor. He's small, he's furry, he's arrogant, and he's an alien from the planet Melmac. Unsure what to do, they name him ALF: Alien Life Form. Alf soon decides that as much as he misses his home planet, there's a lot to be said for Earth: the Tanners are willing to concede anything as long as he doesn't announce his presence. Oh yeah, the the Tanners also have a cat, which looks rather tasty...

2.0 out of 5 stars "ALF' SET NOT COMPLETE August 5, 2007

By K. Laurey

It's amazing that this Lions' Gate release of the Alf series is being advertised as "complete"---these episodes were cut for syndication, pressed onto DVD, and foisted on unsuspecting fans. Casual viewers probably won't spot it, but real fans of the show who enjoyed the wisecrack humor will find not only dialogue but entire SCENES missing. After the first season DVD being a big disappointment, I repeated my error and bought the second season, figuring a hatcheted ALF was better than none....but it was just irritating to watch. I won't buy any of the Lions' Gate releases, hoping that someday some real professionals will release the show the way it was made to be seen. (They send people to the moon; it shouldn't be hard to find real COMPLETE seasons.)

1.0 out of 5 stars questionable quality August 17, 2009

By J. Rideout

Received the discs & have had significant skipping and digital gobblygoop problems on the discs watched so far. The picture & sound have distorted & stopped completely several times so far on the discs I have watched.(4 discs out of 16) Disappointing to say the least. I have attempted to contact the seller with no response. Beware.

1.0 out of 5 stars Alf--4 Seasons October 25, 2012

I haven't viewed all the DVDs yet but the ones I have all have some portion that is jumbled and pixelated. I'm very disappointed in the quality. The programs I have been able to clearly view are as funny as I remember them.

my kids have discovered alf. they found my old alf doll and wanted to know about him. they started looking him up on youtube. THEY LOVE HIM!! so i found the complete set and ordered it. i read the reviews from other peopl about the seller, but i had NO problems like they did. i even got it earlier than i was expecting. some people just dont read the info about the product and have different expectations. its all their own fault. i got all 4 seasons exactly as it was described.

2.0 out of 5 stars Series not 'complete'. August 10, 2012

By William Looft

Why do certain studios lie and claim they are releasing 'complete' series sets when they are not complete?

As viewed during original broadcast, the ALF series had episodes that ran their entire length. Now we are told the episodes are 'complete', when in fact, they are not.

Stop misleading the public and let us know if episodes are edited for content. It's almost like watching films on TV that are edited 'for content'. At least they are honest about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I remembered September 18, 2012

By Phyllis

The housing for the DVD's stinks - very little thought was put into the design - I cannot believe that a standard drop test was never made. - either that or some salesman gave them this at a very cheap price - just to get the obsolete and totally useless cases out of their warehouse. Either way - NOT ONE housing was in tact when it arrived (you could hear the broken parts rattling inside). Although the DVD's were loose, there does not seem to be any damage to the DVD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Alien L Life F Form ALF April 25, 2012

By christmas lover

I watch this show when it was on tv. I wasnt happy when they took it out of syndication after they ended it and wanted them to bring it back for years. So when they released the first season on DVD it was only a matter of time before I boght it along with the releases of the other three seasons. It was a better show and funnier than I had remembered. You should get this.
