I had this on VHS as a kid and I replayed it hundreds of times. This is so crazy nostalgic for me watching this at 42. I remember all the lines as they are being said & it's kinda trippy! This is an absolute classic!!! Much thanks for putting it on youtube
I remember watching this cartoon last time as a kid back in the early 1990's - possibly in the late 1980's. It was aired on a finnish 🇫🇮 TV. I'm 39 years old and still watch the old classic shows 😺👍. HAH HAH 😹!! Greetings from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
Paul Fusco had a Ton of Ambition and Tons More Creative Control and Freedom with the Saturday Morning Prequel animated Spinoff of ALF than he did with the Sitcom. In a Cartoon, there's no logic or sense of Reality because its Fictional and make believe. Fusco was able to bring his Full imagination into the Cartoon, when he was just completely limited on the Sitcom with his Puppeteers and Props and that in itself made production a living Hell for the Cast members(NONE of them Enjoyed working on ALF), The Execution of the Saturday Morning Spinoff is Opulent. I should know, I watched it from 1987-1990 on NBC.
@indirac.4010 There's another one called 'ALF Tales' that inserts Gordon(AKA ALF) & company into pre-existing fantasy & folklore stories, like 'Jack & The Beanstalk' and 'Robin Hood'.
they will make cartoons about everything mortal kombat, highlander, back to the future, puny brewster and karate kid they should make a cartoon about family ties, charles in charge, full house and other cartoons
"Für mich kein Katzentatzenbrei mehr vor dem Schlafengeh´n" That´s what he said at the end of the intro in the german version... can´t believe that´s still stuck in my head after now what? 35 years?
This was a thousand times better that the sitcom, and brought to you by the same people who made The Real Ghostbusters, Inspector Gadget and Heathcliff. The opening theme ricks.
@@Tornado1994 and was perfect for that ... i was complaining at the "This was a thousand times better that the sitcom" because to me the sitcom is a little jewel
@@Artisan1979Probably Frieza or Beerus...or maybe Broly. Who cares. If Alf get dragon balls he will bring his planet back. Probably somewhere down the line at the end of 2030 with new DBS saga.
As much as I loved this series for its off-the-wall creativity and writing, it really disappoints me to realize this pilot episode was the only example of Rhonda's character development outside of being Gordon's satellite love interest-it all went downhill from there. Ditto with Stella the waitress, who , if she wasn't just working at the diner, she was spending one episode pining for a guy with "lots of lint".
@@TMNTRaphael-lz5ew The VERY First Episode of ALF the Sitcom which aired September 22,1986 flat out States his Full name as Gordon Earl Shumway. The nickname "ALF" was given to him by the Tanner Family. It stands for "Alien Lifeform".
ALF-tastic!! I own the DVD's of ALF: The Animated Series and ALF Tales, but they do not contain all of the episodes. I look forward to seeing all of the episodes in one form or another now. Thank you so much!
Why does this EP looks like something Miyazaki would do? I always had this impression, hey, all the characteristics of Miyazaki's works are here like an action girl, planes and of course dogfight, this is almost purely Porco Rosso !

This is his real name. He was given the name "Alf" by the Tanners. But you find out that his real name is "Gordon" in some episodes of the original series. Otherwise everyone in the series would be called "Alf".
alf isn’t a name its an acronym it stands for alien life form its just easier to call him alf vs gordon being as tho he’ll never be able to get his old life back

Greetings from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
This Alf animated series is really interesting! They did a great job at bringing his home planet of Melmac to life!
I tell people that this carton was like an anime. The art direction, character design and world-building of Melmac were all top-notch!

This is the first version of the song where the cats sing “melmatian race”. Paul Fusco later had it changed to “Melmacian”.
Really I didn't notice that I just finished this last week
I thought it sounded different. Thought I was imagining it.
@@klankorbus7874same
i like the original one better the other one sounds too perfect
The original is more a capella than the remake. Any reason why it was changed?
Man I never missed Alf Tales. saturday morning's alf's tales and margaritas🤭
I didnt know there was an animated series ? wonderful!
@indirac.4010
There's another one called 'ALF Tales' that inserts Gordon(AKA ALF) & company into pre-existing fantasy & folklore stories, like 'Jack & The Beanstalk' and 'Robin Hood'.
How did his home planet explode💥?
@@ethanwhitham2022 Nuclear War. After all, it was the 80s.
Time for one of those heroic lines ...GO AWAY!!!
14:52 Interesting with the America, statue och liberty and the American flag :D
It's a fascinating world to look at...but pretty dark when you realize the vast majority of the beings seen here are dead.
Also, am I the only one who remembers the singers saying "Melmackian" and not "Melmaitian"? Talk about a Mandela effect...
@@bobbackward6461 No, it's not the Mandela effect. This is the 1st version, the 2nd version says Melmackian.
Honestly seeing this makes me really sad for Alf.
If this is really what happened with Alf before Melmac exploded. =(
I forgot how good the animation was for this show.
Three favorite parts: 6:05 Reaction: a Poor one sir. 11:31 The cat-o-matic! and the dance: Yo, Petty! 20:26!
I love the theme it's pretty bad ass.
they will make cartoons about everything mortal kombat, highlander, back to the future, puny brewster and karate kid they should make a cartoon about family ties, charles in charge, full house and other cartoons
Love Alf he's funny witty and lots of fun love the music video very well done hope to see more video's possum 👍🇱🇷😀
"Don't forget to pick up the laundry!" 😹👍
"Für mich kein Katzentatzenbrei mehr vor dem Schlafengeh´n"
That´s what he said at the end of the intro in the german version...
can´t believe that´s still stuck in my head after now what? 35 years?
Finally, a Full episode of The Animated Series.
On shoutfactorytv you can stream all episodes
@@georgekochkessel1677 Oh, Okay.

i hope you are joking ...this looks good for 4 years old kids ...
@@francesco5581 I WAS 4 when it premiered on September 12,1987 on NBC. So yeah, it was aimed at Kids like me.
@@Tornado1994 and was perfect for that ... i was complaining at the "This was a thousand times better that the sitcom" because to me the sitcom is a little jewel
@@francesco5581 Ah. I see. I watched the sitcom from 1986-1990.
This is great Thanks
Why are cats singing his theme song? Am I missing some deep lore?
He’s having a nightmare
I now remember this animation but at the time i didnt know about teh TV series. Strange but now i have a better appreciation of the animation lol
Alf kept it 💯 on the show and cartoon. Some of that shit he was sayn😂 cant be said on regular tv these days. He funny af.
The theme song is awesome
I love alf animated thank you 💋❤
So messed up knowing the majority of them are dead seeing as the planet blew up
Yea I was just thinking that and I just realized that means the baby died as well since the only survivors are skips Rhonda and gordon
Well, they shouldn't had plugged their hair dryers at the same time.
It was never revealed what really caused the planet to blow up
@@Artisan1979Probably Frieza or Beerus...or maybe Broly. Who cares. If Alf get dragon balls he will bring his planet back. Probably somewhere down the line at the end of 2030 with new DBS saga.

Thanks to Cookie Jar eating up DIC and dissolving it!
Ohhh so it wasn't just a joke, his name WAS really Gordon Shumway!
That's what his parents named him
@@TMNTRaphael-lz5ew The VERY First Episode of ALF the Sitcom which aired September 22,1986 flat out States his Full name as Gordon Earl Shumway. The nickname "ALF" was given to him by the Tanner Family. It stands for "Alien Lifeform".
Planning on buying the Alf tv-series from 1986. HOPE i can get a hold of a European Alf: The Animated Series DVD too one day. Alf is awsome. 💙
At 14:52 53 The crash revealed in one animated frame, the American flag Statue of Liberty.
Yeah! Just noticed it :D Some sort of easter egg?
We were watching on Tubi. My husband totally missed it and I had him go back and play it again. Then I looked for it here.
What is it with you and laundry?!
Awesome!
🇲🇽🎥A great part of the joy of my childhood here in Mexico City.
J aime Alf mon dessin animé préféré mon enfance jeunesse la fin du générique en piano 🎹🎹🎶🎶❤❤👍👍
11:54 He did WHAT!?
"Look what you did to my building!"
"Look what your building did to my car!"
If the opportunity ever arises, I'm using that.
ALF-tastic!! I own the DVD's of ALF: The Animated Series and ALF Tales, but they do not contain all of the episodes. I look forward to seeing all of the episodes in one form or another now. Thank you so much!
And to think,...this was his life prior to his planet blowing up, crash landing on Earth and meeting/living with the Tanners.
I think it's a different continuity/reality here. Different Alf here, different on comics, different on sitcon.
Wonderful ! This Animated Series
"No more tabby paw pie for me before bedtime."
I love this into
I wonder if that hovercar is the same craft that crashed into the garage roof of the Tanner household,its shows it in the Marvel comics.
5:57 Chad Melmacian
Okay, but they wear clothes on melmac, but when he got to Earth he just wanted to be nude?
5:43 😂😂😂😂
Alf why didn't you fix the brakes on your vehicle yo?
I like that theme song from the animation series of alf
5:19
SHUMWAAAYY!!!
(crashing nouse)
Don't worry lucky it's not a recipe book 📖!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The alf character is kind of inconsistent his character on the show. He’s not accident prone like Alf on the live action series
Why does this EP looks like something Miyazaki would do? I always had this impression, hey, all the characteristics of Miyazaki's works are here like an action girl, planes and of course dogfight, this is almost purely Porco Rosso !
Probably animated in Japan many 80s shows were
7:51 Well, that's sort of explains how he managed to survive in space for a year after the planet exploded.
I didn't know there was a cartoon
wow
GOOD
Can you do alf tales
i’m surprised there are comments on this video
Why? What did you expect?
@@indirac.4010 well this is a show made for kids and i thought youtube would have coppa-fied it
If gordon put them into outer space they might have survived
1:10 it makes Alf sound tired
5:57
THE GIGA MELMACIAN
okay
leave Alf alone
Poor DIC Entertainment
( 22:30 😔)
Why poor?
@@potsdam28 Why?, Ask yourselves!
ALF The Animated Series is currently airing on MeTV Toons

On the piratebay.
Currently on Tubi.

Does anyone else wonder why alf's name is Gordon in the series?
Thats his name he's parents gave to him. When he crashed on Earth , Willie gave him the name ALF. Alien Life Form.
This is his real name.
He was given the name "Alf" by the Tanners.
But you find out that his real name is "Gordon" in some episodes of the original series.
Otherwise everyone in the series would be called "Alf".
@Christy Hale
Alf's actual real name was Gordon Shumway.
alf isn’t a name its an acronym it stands for alien life form its just easier to call him alf vs gordon being as tho he’ll never be able to get his old life back
Did his family die when melmac went boom
