Summary: ALF has been butched! Boycott !!
Review:
I was so happy when I saw that ALF finally had been released on DVD, and I orded it immediately without even having read the customer reviews. Huge mistake!
Who in theire right mind would release a DVD-box leaving out 3-7 minutes of eatch episode?
NEVER mind about the hopeless packaging and the rather grainy picture quality (newly remastered??) - it's the more than 100 MINUTES of great ALF-material that are missing that makes me want to burst out in tears.
Great job Lions Gate! Thumbs up!
Let's boycott these DVDs so that the ORIGINAL ALF-episodes will be released!

Summary: Sweet show
Review: Alf is a sweet show, becuase for the show, it has comedy, drama, and all of the between. For Luckey and Alf, it is like whoa. I would like to buy season 2 of Alf. So if you are looking for a good show, then Alf would do it.

Summary: Great Show
Review: ALF is histerical! The episodes are absolutely brilliantly crafted. The episodes are syndication reruns, but that doesn't bother me. The packaging is poor, but the episodes are so funny that I forgot all about the problem. All in all, this is a really cool set that features all 25 episodes - including the pilot - from the first season. I can't wait to get the second season!

Summary: Could have been five stars if all episodes were uncut !
Review: ALF was and still is one of our families favorites shows. The interactions bewteen Willie and ALF were side splitting to say the least.
Yes I recognized immediately that these episodes were not the original that aired on NBC. In fact just more than the three minutes that someone stated is missing !
Paul Fusco (creator and voice of ALF) did a ton of "voice overs" for ALF using a more "normal" voice than the lower pitched voice that he originally used - which by the way we all thought was much better.
The three minutes that were cut out of the episodes leave out a lot of humor. For example on the episode "Oh Tannenbaum" when Willie has his dream, we don't get to see one of the funniest sequences in that episode of Lynn dressed up like a "biker chick", Brian dressed up in a military unifrom "to stem the tide of communisim in some unnamed Central American country" and of course Kate dressed very sexy and being taken out by Trevor who tells Willie "Don't wait up".
The quality is outstanding and the extras are great - especially the outtakes and the original pilot.
I am still waiting for one of my favorite episodes - the one were ALF becomes a butler and blows up the kitchen "one minute to go luck miester - then I'll be down on you like a buzzard on a gut wagon"
All in all a very good effort. But please someone get us the original uncut episodes without the voice overs !

Summary: Incomplete versions
Review: I absolutely have to agree with the previous reviewer: The shortened/cut/mutilated versions of the episodes are totally unacceptable. Some episodes have been cut by as much as five to seven minutes! This is a shame because the DVDs themselves are designed nicely, the menues have intros by ALF himself - cute. But what use is this if you don't get what you paid for in the first place - the episodes?

Summary: Long gone evenings...
Review: I like this show very much. I especially remember sitting in front of the TV set with my two brothers. We would watch the Transformers, followed by Alf. Those evenings are now gone; that's why I'm glad to own this DVD set. It contains some episodes that I hadn't seen (or didn't remember at all) and I find Alf as funny as it was a dozen years ago.
I do agree with some comments on the fact that the chapters are edited. But at least this set is better than nothing, and the editing is not that bad as to compromise the storytelling.

Summary: PLS, SPANISH LANGUAGE TRACK
Review: I love alf, i think is the most representative lazy, not worried, cat eater, careless, etc alien ever was. Is my favorite after all Jim Henson's characters. I love ever since the first episode that i saw in Mexico. Unfortunally, i realized this DVD came only with english track language, wich is ok with me as far as i want to know how Alf originally sounded. But for me, that i grew up listen every episode in spanish (and we're proud our dubbed in whole Latinoamerica, is the best), is sad that i couldn't listen again in that language. I hope and you can do something about it, or at least take this review and send it to the person in charge and see what happened. The people in latinoamerica like Alf too, and we want to hear him in spanish. Pls, do something, i can't wait to buy it with this special set up. thank you.
