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:

5 cuts = 56,5 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.

After Trevor has left the kitchen, Alf enters.
Alf: I say we lock the door, throw away the key and move!
Katherine: I assume that we have you to thank for this mess!
Alf: Hey, it was time for my bimonthly feeding frenzy! Except, he interrupted me! So this one doesn't count, okay?
Willie: It counts, okay?
Brian: Morning!
Willie: Morning, Brian! Lynn!
Lynn: Feeding frenzy?
Alf: Yeah, but this one doesn't count!
Willie (angry): It counts!

Katherine: Brian, how come you're not dressed?
Brian: I was to tired! I didn't get any sleep!
Lynn: Yeah, we kept on hearing Mr. Ochmonek moaning and groaning: "Ugh, how could Raquel do this to me?"
Alf: Actually, that was me!
Brian: You kept singing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"?
Alf: This is embarrassing!
Katherine: Look let's all just be patient! It's only been one night!
Alf: Yeah, one night and we're already at each other's throats!
Katherine: We're not at each other's throats!
Alf: Lean over!
Willie: Get back to the garage!
Alf: Well, who do I see to file a grievance?
Willie: The Alien Task Force has a grievance committee!
Alf: I withdraw the question!
Alf leaves the kitchen and Willie is still gazing at him angrily.
