Compared are the cut episodes on the US DVD by Lions Gate / FOX and the uncut episodes on the German DVD by Warner Home Video.

The differences:

14 cuts = 2 minutes and 47 seconds.
1 alternate scene = 6 seconds.

One certainly needs to make no words about the hilarious TV show "ALF". Even those who have not seen it have at least heard of it even though it has been quite some time since something new from the ALF universe was released. Anyway, the show consists of 4 seasons and was aired in the late 80s and early 90s. Furthermore, there are two animated series ("ALF: The Animated Series" & ALF Tales) and a motion picture from the mid 90s.


As for the US Versions, a few minutes of each episode were cut for syndication in order to show more commercials. Unfortunately, these syndication versions were also released on DVD. Understandably, the fans were disappointed that the DVDs do not contain the uncut episodes. Whether or not the uncut episodes will be released one day (perhaps on Blu-ray?) is the million dollar question.

Alf: Hey, Willie, write out a check for 6000 Dollars!
Willie: All right, but, uh, don't cash it till tomorrow!
Alf: It's not for me! I'm ordering a battery powered home-entertainment center! I want to be ready for the next blackout!
Willie: No checks!
Alf: All right, but it's a bad idea to send cash through the mail!

The conversation inside the bedroom goes on a little longer:
Katherine: Alf, go! Go to bed! Tomorrow morning you'll realize how silly this whole thing is!
Alf: I'll never rest! Not until that murderer's behind bars! All right, maybe I'll take a nap, but I won't enjoy it!
Alf leaves.
Willie: We've got to get him a hobby!
Willie switches the light off and both go back to sleep.

Alf: (The guy's a murderer!)
Katherine (angry): Trevor is not a murderer! Murderers do not commit crimes in front of windows with the shades pulled up!
Alf: Yes, they do! Leopold and Loeb used to leave their shade up all the time, and their door open! Anybody could have walked in!

Willie and Katherine enter the kitchen.
Katherine: Honey, what is the matter?
Willie: Him! He's what's the matter! Him! He broke into the Ochmoneks' house, he went through their drawers! I didn't break in, I used a crowbar!

The light inside the room is switched back on and we see Alf standing in front of the opened front door. In order for Trevor and the police officer not to spot the extraterrestrial, he switches the light back off.
Trevor: Did you see something?
Willie and Katherine both answer: No.
Trevor: Well, I did! What the hell was that?
He goes to the light switch and turns it back on. Instead of Alf we now see Raquel standing at the door. She walks up to Tevor.
Raquel: What are you doing with my teeth?
Trevor: You gotta be more careful when you talk!
