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:

6 cuts = 1 minute and 36 seconds
1 alternative scene = 1 minute and 10.5 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.

Then follows an exterior shot of the house. The scene fades to Willie inside the living room who puts clean sheets on the mattress.
Alf: Works for me!
Willie: Thank you for the Alf Housekeeping Seal of Approval!
Alf: I'll be going to the garage now!
Willie: No, you won't!
Alf: I won't be going to the garage now! Where will I be going?
Willie: You will be sleeping in Brian's room tonight!
Alf: I don't wanna sleep in Brian's room! His Smurf clock offends me!
Willie: You will be sleeping in Brian's room!
Alf: I will be sleeping in Brian's room, even though his Smurf clock offends me!
Katherine (von draußen): Well, here we are, Maura!
Willie: Alf!
Alf: I'll be in Brian's room along with that grinning, blue idiot!
Alf walks to Brian's room. Then the scene cuts to Katherine and Maura who are standing in front of the door.
Katherine: I'll just open the lock and in we'll go!
Maura: Fine, Kate! Go ahead! Whatever you say! I'm ready!

The US Version instead shows Willie at the phone a little longer. Additionally, the exterior shot of the house looks different.
