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 52 seconds.
2 alternative scenes = 39 seconds.

There is no need to make many words about the hilarious TV show "ALF". You doesn't know it has 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 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 to 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: Anyway, what we have to do here is dig up some dirt on your boss! Does he steal from the company? Go to the salad bar illegally? Chew with his mouth open?
Willie: You chew with your mouth open!
Alf: Oh, smart Willie, dig up dirt on me! I can't give you that promotion!
Katherine: Good night, Alf!
Alf: All right, all right, wait! Forget the dirt!

Alf: Hey, time for that eye exam there, Edsel! Those are beauty marks!
Bernice: What are you supposed to be, exactly?
Alf: An alien, from the planet Melmac!
Willie drops the platter. Bernice and Ed are looking at him, then Willie says, He's just kidding!
