ALF

NONE MORE 80s puppet sitcom with eponymous “Alien Life Form” (boring real name – Gordon), a cat-eating two-foot 200-year-old hairy pig like thing with much sardonic wit, living with a bog-standard “nice” suburban US family. Staple of ITV Saturday teatimes once THE A-TEAM had run out. Responsible for ace SIMPSONS gag if nothing else.

    This could be hit & miss but usually worth watching. Many episodes were like early American Dad ones when someone comes to visit & Roger has to be banished to the attic.

    Making ALF was tricky due to the sets having to be designed to fit in the puppeteers.

    ALF was last in an episode of Young Sheldon.
