██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ A homeless person that goes by the name "Flakey" Pete ░ ██
██ ░ has been hanging around the neighborhood. ALF has been ░ ██
██ ░ setting out food and clothing for him. Willie finds Pete ░ ██

██ ░ Pete discovers ALF and calls the Alien Task Force and ░ ██
██ ░ asks about a reward. Initially, they think he's crazy, ░ ██
██ ░ but then they notice that Raquel Ochmonek reported a ░ ██
██ ░ sighting at the same address previously, so they decide ░ ██
██ ░ to check it out. ░ ██

▓█ ░ RIP NOTES ░ █▓
▓█ ░ ░ █▓
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ We love the 80s, and few things epitomize it more than ░ ██
██ ░ ALF. Check out any "Best of the 80s" list, and you are ░ ██
██ ░ bound to find him there. Who doesn't love a ░ ██
██ ░ wise-cracking cat-eating 255 year old alien? ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ ALF was (and is) the brainchild of Paul Fusco, who has ░ ██
██ ░ voiced and performed him since day one. After gaining ░ ██
██ ░ puppeteering experience from doing several specials, ░ ██
██ ░ today sadly mostly forgotten, he started developing the ░ ██
██ ░ character at home, until he eventually had the idea of ░ ██
██ ░ trying to pitch him for a full half hour show. He ░ ██
██ ░ enlisted the help of his agent, the late Bernie ░ ██
██ ░ Brillstein, also the agent for another puppeteer you ░ ██
██ ░ might have heard of (Jim Henson), and they started to ░ ██
██ ░ set up meetings. The project was green-lighted by ░ ██
██ ░ legendary NBC head Brandon Tartikoff, who loved the ░ ██
██ ░ meeting he had with ALF so much that he said yes on the ░ ██
██ ░ spot. Brandon Tartikoff had an eye for good TV. We owe ░ ██
██ ░ thanks to him for everything from Cheers to Seinfeld to ░ ██
██ ░ Punky Brewster, a show he helped develop, named after a ░ ██
██ ░ childhood friend of his. This was all the way back when ░ ██
██ ░ the peacock used to be synonymous with quality, in no ░ ██
██ ░ small part thanks to him. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ ALF was the subject of much hype, thanks to the ░ ██
██ ░ massive advertising sponsored entirely by Coleco, who ░ ██
██ ░ was looking for their next big thing after the Cabbage ░ ██
██ ░ Patch Kids. Thousands of ALF dolls and other merchandise ░ ██
██ ░ had been produced for the 1986 Xmas season, before the ░ ██
██ ░ first episode had even aired, and certainly long before ░ ██
██ ░ anyone knew it would be the smash hit it turned out to ░ ██
██ ░ be. Although Coleco folded halfway through the show's ░ ██
██ ░ run, their early efforts had ensured that everyone, of ░ ██
██ ░ all ages, knew ALF was landing. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Shooting the show was a grueling experience for ░ ██
██ ░ everyone involved, and although you couldn't tell by the ░ ██
██ ░ final product, ALF came to be notorious for wearing its ░ ██
██ ░ cast down. The lack of a reunion show is no coincidence, ░ ██
██ ░ and human lead Max Wright is said to have simply left ░ ██
██ ░ the set without a word after shooting the final scene of ░ ██
██ ░ the series finale. The entire set was built on an ░ ██
██ ░ elevated platform, and covered in hidden trap doors to ░ ██
██ ░ allow Paul and his co-puppeteer Lisa Buckley places to ░ ██
██ ░ pop-up from. The cast members had to always be aware of ░ ██
██ ░ these while shooting, as falling down one would likely ░ ██
██ ░ cause you to break your neck. Add to that the fact that ░ ██
██ ░ each scene had to be shot from precisely the right ░ ██
██ ░ angle, as any trap door, or puppeteer, or really any ░ ██
██ ░ foreign object, would break the illusion. This, of ░ ██
██ ░ course, lead to endless reshoots, long days, and an ░ ██
██ ░ increasing animosity towards a demanding puppeteer who ░ ██
██ ░ insisted on remaining in character between takes. ALF ░ ██
██ ░ was to be considered a real person, don't ever expect to ░ ██
██ ░ see any behind the scenes footage like Jim Henson would ░ ██
██ ░ allow with The Muppets. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ As we all know, ALF was a huge hit, and by the end of ░ ██
██ ░ the first season, production began to become more ░ ██
██ ░ streamlined. Michu Meszaros, the uncredited drunken ░ ██
██ ░ Hungarian circus midget who had donned an ALF suit in ░ ██
██ ░ full body shots (look for him in the intro), left the ░ ██
██ ░ show - apparently putting in long days in a full suit ░ ██
██ ░ under studio spotlights, suffering endless retakes and ░ ██
██ ░ essentially working blind, wasn't his idea of a good ░ ██
██ ░ time. Jerry Stahl, who infamously wrote a few episodes ░ ██
██ ░ (and would later write about the experience in his ░ ██
██ ░ autobiography Permanent Midnight, adapted for film by ░ ██
██ ░ actor-director Ben Stiller), was let go after they ░ ██
██ ░ learned of his heroin addiction, and he became ░ ██
██ ░ increasingly unreliable. ALF had quickly become a pop ░ ██
██ ░ culture icon, and was making cameos left and right. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ As the show progressed, quality started to decline ░ ██
██ ░ slightly. Writing within the limitations of ALF ░ ██
██ ░ essentially unable to leave the house, and the cost of ░ ██
██ ░ building complex sets allowing for ALF's presence, ░ ██
██ ░ proved challenging. Following standard sitcom strategy, ░ ██
██ ░ weaker supporting characters were introduced, and by the ░ ██
██ ░ fourth season it was becoming clear that things needed ░ ██
██ ░ to be shook up significantly. The cast, some of whom ░ ██
██ ░ would never again work in TV after the ALF experience, ░ ██
██ ░ wanted out. We won't spoil the ending for you, but ░ ██
██ ░ suffice it to say it ended with a huge cliffhanger, a ░ ██
██ ░ real game changer. And then it got cancelled. Paul had ░ ██
██ ░ been promised another season, or at least a chance to ░ ██
██ ░ wrap up the storyline, but apparently NBC wanted ░ ██
██ ░ something fresh for ALF's timeslot, and awarded it ░ ██
██ ░ instead to a prince from Bel Air. They never made good ░ ██
██ ░ on their promise, and Paul broke off his working ░ ██
██ ░ relationship with them. Brandon Tartikoff stepped down ░ ██
██ ░ the following year. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Thankfully for Paul, and for fans, fin-syn rules ░ ██
██ ░ ensured that Paul and his production company Alien ░ ██
██ ░ Productions retained all rights to everything ALF, ░ ██
██ ░ including the character, all episodes, and all ░ ██
██ ░ merchandising. This allowed him to take ALF to ABC, who ░ ██
██ ░ in 1996 - six years after the show ended - allowed him ░ ██
██ ░ to produce the feature length matinee "Project: ALF" ░ ██
██ ░ (starring Martin Sheen!), explaining what had actually ░ ██
██ ░ happened to ALF and his family. Unsurprisingly none of ░ ██
██ ░ them made an appearance - they were said to have been ░ ██
██ ░ relocated to Reykjavik, Iceland by the government. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Since then, ALF has been making TV appearances ░ ██
██ ░ whenever he can, and even got his own (sadly ░ ██
██ ░ short-lived) talk show on TV Land in 2004, lasting only ░ ██
██ ░ 7 episodes. While ALF's quips and quick wit are well ░ ██
██ ░ suited for a talk show format, the technical challenges ░ ██
██ ░ involved in production are perhaps less so. It was ░ ██
██ ░ certainly enjoyable, but might have lacked some of the ░ ██
██ ░ spontaneous nature one expects on a talk show. ALF ░ ██
██ ░ himself is as fresh as ever though, and Paul refuses to ░ ██
██ ░ make him dated. He's an icon and he knows it, not just ░ ██
██ ░ some relic from a forgotten time. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ In recent news, Sony Animation have secured the rights ░ ██
██ ░ for a new ALF feature film. That's right, we said Sony ░ ██
██ ░ Animation, not Sony Pictures. As in, the people who ░ ██
██ ░ brought us the recent Smurfs film.. And it's gonna be ░ ██
██ ░ CGI. Sadly, we're not too excited either, but it's a lot ░ ██
██ ░ better than nothing, even though we're not quite sure ░ ██
██ ░ whether we're hoping for it to be a hit or not. Here's ░ ██
██ ░ hoping they will let Paul continue to voice, and have ░ ██
██ ░ strong creative input, or it is bound to be a mere ░ ██
██ ░ shadow of anything that has come before. The world does ░ ██
██ ░ not need yet another Alvin and the ░ ██
██ ░ Chipmunks/Scooby-Doo/Garfield/Yogi Bear/Marmaduke CGI ░ ██
██ ░ atrocity - ALF deserves far better! ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ ALF has been on DVD since 2004, but sadly, the ░ ██
██ ░ original Lionsgate releases weren't what fans had hoped ░ ██
██ ░ for. Supposedly, the original broadcast masters were not ░ ██
██ ░ in great condition, so they opted instead to release the ░ ██
██ ░ newly digitally remastered syndicated cuts. And boy were ░ ██
██ ░ they cut; appx. 2 minutes were missing from each ░ ██
██ ░ episode! Furthermore, music rights caused the regular ░ ██
██ ░ set of problems, leading to even further cuts. Paul ░ ██
██ ░ himself verified for the 25th anniversary there were no ░ ██
██ ░ plans for North American uncut releases, and the ░ ██
██ ░ Canadian full series release from last April confirms ░ ██
██ ░ this. ░ ██

██ ░ We, of course, find this unacceptable. The syndicated ░ ██
██ ░ masters might be higher quality, but that's still no ░ ██
██ ░ excuse for losing out on 3.5 hours worth of laughs. So ░ ██
██ ░ we're bringing you the full series, uncut whenever ░ ██
██ ░ possible, from the best sources available. Most episodes ░ ██
██ ░ are sourced from German releases, some from OOP Canadian ░ ██
██ ░ releases, some material even from the US Lionsgate ░ ██
██ ░ releases. We've done our best to correct the dull colors ░ ██
██ ░ and remove noise from the inferior masters, and bring ░ ██
██ ░ you the best and most complete uncut ALF releases ░ ██
██ ░ possible. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Enjoy! ░ ██

▓█ ░ WHO WE ARE ░ █▓
▓█ ░ ░ █▓
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Since 2003, FLAiR has been dedicated to preserving ░ ██
██ ░ the neglected titles of an entertainment era long gone. ░ ██
██ ░ A time of classic kids flicks, painstaking hand-drawn ░ ██
██ ░ animation and countless cheesy low-budget horrors. A ░ ██
██ ░ time when pop had a King, and rock had a Queen. A time ░ ██
██ ░ when special FX wizards ruled, and CGI was just one of ░ ██
██ ░ their many tools. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Driven by nostalgia and memories of better days, we ░ ██
██ ░ seek to relive those times, and share those memories. ░ ██
██ ░ While our belief is that the 80s represent the very ░ ██
██ ░ pinnacle of pop culture, we will not limit ourselves ░ ██
██ ░ to one decade, or any single genre. We will not ignore ░ ██
██ ░ the movies considered insignificant or even embarrassing ░ ██
██ ░ by the studios. We will not disregard a timepiece just ░ ██
██ ░ because it is dated. ░ ██
██ ░ ░ ██
██ ░ Whereas most groups rely solely on digital sources, ░ ██
██ ░ there are still thousands of rare and out of print ░ ██
██ ░ titles, many of which have no planned digital release. ░ ██
██ ░ We've made it our mission to dig these out, clean them ░ ██
██ ░ up using the best hardware and techniques available to ░ ██
██ ░ us, and share them with the world. Be it VHS, Laserdisc ░ ██
██ ░ or more exotic formats, we're here to bring you the best ░ ██
██ ░ (and worst!) of decades past. So sit back and enjoy as ░ ██
██ ░ we uncover and pay tribute to an age of cinema we will ░ ██
██ ░ never get back. ░ ██
