October is bringing a harvest of all the ALF you’ll ever need in your life. The show was about an Alien Life Form (aka ALF) who hides out with the Tanner family while trying to figure out how to get home to Melmac. The series was a hit in the ’80s and lasted 4 seasons and 102 episodes. The show also became a Saturday morning cartoon with ALF: The Animated Series and ALF Tales. All three of these are coming to the boxset along with the comeback TV movie Project: ALF. Exciting news is that nearly all the episodes have been restored to the original broadcast versions instead of the snipped for syndication masters. Only “Try To Remember” isn’t quite complete. ALF: The Complete Series (Deluxe Edition) will make you think he’s living with your family. There’s going to be quite a few packages available with extra fun items. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:

Created by Tom Patchett (The Carol Burnett Show) and Paul Fusco (Puppeteer & Voice of ALF), ALF (short for “Alien Life Form”) follows a hilarious cat-eating alien who crash lands into the garage of the Tanner family. ALF ran for four far out seasons on NBC from 1986 – 1990. A 1980s pop culture icon, ALF still has a substantial following today, though not among the general cat population.
*The episode “Try To Remember” has been edited for content, but represents the best existing version.
