If you have any plans on owning all 4 seasons of ALF than you will get every episode on this compilation disc including the christmas special with Tiffany and all the clip shows.

So the Alf Files is only for people who want a reminder of Alf and have no intention of buying the actual seasons. I own all the seasons and the Alf files has nothing I didnt already own.

Also, the description is wrong: where it says it contains clips from the "movie" of him crash landing, that is incorrect. His crash landing clips are from the pilot episode (which you can watch in full if you get season 1)

The "Alf project" movie is not from before the series, its from after the series and picks up on Alf alone being held prisoner by the government (which is how the series season 4 ended)

So, hardcore alf fan? get all 4 seasons, the alf project movie (and maybe the cartoons... though they dont hold up as well to being watched 20 years later, where as the live action series is still funny to me); and skip this alf files disc with reruns content.

Minor alf fan? this is a nice dvd for someone who just wants to flash back on alf moments from the '80s without the expense of investing in 4 seasons + a movie.

Im giving my alf files dvd to a friend who doesnt want to buy the entire series like i did.

This DVD includes the ALF Christmas special movie. The story begins when the tanners spend xmas in a log cabin and ALF ends up in the back of a truck going to a hospital. Then comes a touching story about ALF helping a little girl who is going to die in hospital. The reason I give this DVD 4 stars is because it also includes the ALF talk show which is not so hot. But anyway Alf rocks!!!!

I got this after I got all 4 seasons, the cartoons, and the Project ALF movie on DVD; thinking I was missing something. After finding out it was just stuff I had (luckily I was out $5) I give the DVD to an nonprofit I work with sometimes and they was it to show the Christmas special every year in an office party.

I was too young to watch ALF when it was on TV because my parents thought he was the devil. I told him, "No, ALF stands for Another Life Form," and then they corrected me saying, "ALIEN LIFE FORM," and I said, "Really?" and they said, "Yes," and I was still confused so I looked it up in the TV Guide and they were right, it was Alien Life Form. How did they know?

SPECIAL MOVIE FOR ALF FANS.IT DOESENT REPLACE ALF AS A VISITER FROM MELMAC BUT ITS A NICE FILM FOR HOW HAS CHILDREN WHO GREW WITH ALF(AND ADULTS TOO)I RECOMEND IT.ITS GOT LOVERY PARTS OF ALF"S LIFE ON EARTH

About me: I bought the TV series ALF disks, watched them, then bought this movie. I'm a fan. Now...
About this DVD: The TV series was better. This movie was very funny in spots, but often dragged. I wouldn't say it was for young kids because there was a lot of strong talk & threats about torturing the alien for information, even getting ready to electrocute him. Spend your money on the TV series instead.
