ALF

1.16 Try to Remember: Part 1

Comparison:

  • US Version
  • German Version
Release: Dec 18, 2014 - Author: Eiskaltes Grab - Translator: DaxRider123 - external link: IMDB - more from this series
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:

4 cuts = 2 minutes and 2 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.

During a flashback you can see the camera pans from the living room to the open kitchen door. From a radio we can hear the song "Old Time Rock'n Roll“ by Bob Seger and Alf comes in, equipped with sunglasses and a cucumber as a microphone and gives us a playback performance of the song. A short moment later, Willie and the others come in through the front door and look at Alf with surprise. Willie walks to the radio and switches it off. He and the others look through the ravaged room.
Katherine comments: Maybe we should have called first!
Alf: Well, I had the music pretty loud! I probably wouldn't have heard the phone!

Another flashback: Alf and Lynn sing the song "Proud Mary" in the garage. The memory fades and then we see Lynn and Alf sitting at the table. Alf agains sings the song in order to be able to remember the experience. Lynn helps him. Suddenly, Alf stops and say that it is a Rock'n Roll song and that he does not listen to such music.

And another flashback: Willie wears embarrassing clothes and plays something on the keyboard while singing. Alf films all of it for his music video. After that, there is another missing flashback that shows Alf explaining how to douse candles on a birthday cake. He pours a glass of water over it.
