Character Review: Alf

Alf is an alien from the planet Melmac. He is short and covered in dark orange fur, his name on Melmac was Gordon Shumway, but the human family that found him called him ALF, Alien Life Form. After crashing on Earth, he lived with Tanner family. Some of the lamest people you’ll ever see on TV. Alf was a smart-ass talking alien who was rude and wasn’t very funny. On his old planet, everyone ate cats, so he spends most of his time trying to eat the family cat.

For most of the time, Alf was a puppet and we never saw his legs. Sometimes, there would be a guy in a full Alf suit. This was worst than the dumb puppet.

The show was on TV for a few years, spawning two cartoon shows and a TV movie. Like many things from the 80s, this show hasn’t aged well at all.
