Fusco used a series of trapdoors to puppet ALF around, and they sometimes needed to be reset in the middle of a scene.

The technical demands of such a program were especially wearing on the human cast, many of whom hated playing second banana to an inanimate puppet.

A rehearsal puppet was often used, in order to avoid wear and tear on the real ALF puppets. Marvel Comics published a fifty-issue run of ALF comics in the late '80s.

Paul Fusco is reportedly working on an all-new CGI-live action feature film based on the series. Sony Pictures Animation owns the rights now.

ALF appeared on a number of other popular television shows. He popped up on Matlock , Blossom , and Hollywood Squares , among others.

The series ran 99 episodes, including three one-hour specials. Melmac was located six parsecs past the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster.

Despite the problems and inconveniences his presence brings into their lives, they grow to love him, though some episodes make it clear they are also afraid of how their lives would be turned upside down if word got out that he has been living with them.

While most of the science fiction of ALF was played for comedic value, there were a few references to actual topics in space exploration; for example, ALF uses a radio signal as a beacon in the pilot episode.

In the episode "Weird Science", ALF tells Brian, who is building a model of the solar system for his science project, that there are two planets beyond Pluto called "Dave" and "Alvin" as in David Seville and Alvin from the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise , which gets Brian in trouble at school.

However, after ALF makes a call to an astronomical organization and states that "Dave" is known by the organization, Willie comes to believe that "Dave" could be the planetoid Chiron or "Object Kowal".

ALF then shows Willie exactly where "Dave" is on an intergalactic map of the universe. Changes occur within the Tanner household over the course of the series, including the birth of a new child, Eric the reason for adding a baby in the series being that Anne Schedeen was pregnant at the time ; ALF's move from his initial quarters in the laundry room to the attic, which he and Willie converted into an "apartment" and the death of Mr.

Meow in season four's "Live and Let Die"; in this instance, ALF finds that despite his occasional attempts to catch Lucky with the intention of making the cat a meal, as cats are the equivalent of cattle on Melmac, he has come to love and respect the family pet too much to do anything untoward with Lucky's remains.

When ALF acquires a new cat with the intent of eating it, he actually grows fond of it and allows it to be adopted by the family, although he admits to the Tanners he has become the worst kind of Melmackian, a "cat lover".

Producer Bernie Brillstein was approached to see Fusco's audition with a puppet character but was initially uninterested, having managed Jim Henson for years and regarding Henson as the best creature-puppeteer in showbiz.

However, Fusco's brief performance as ALF won over Brillstein, who thought the character was hilarious and strong enough to be the focus of a series.

Fusco co-produced the series with Tom Patchett. Patchett also co-created, wrote, and directed the series.

The series was first syndicated by Warner Bros. Television and Lorimar-Telepictures. The US syndication rights are currently owned by Debmar-Mercury as its parent company, Lionsgate , now owns home video rights.

All confirmed during a People magazine interview that there were constantly high levels of tension on the set. He admitted to being "hugely eager to have ALF over with.

There were no goodbyes. A minute show took 20, 25 hours to shoot. The whole thing was a big dysfunctional family. There was no way we could have made it go any further or any faster," he insisted.

Despite what people thought, that there was a lot of tension on set, there really wasn't. Fusco was notoriously secretive about his character up until the series' premiere.

During the show's production, Fusco refused to acknowledge that the puppet ALF was anything other than an alien.

All involved with the production were cautioned not to reveal any of ALF's production secrets. The set was built on a platform raised four feet above the ground, with trap doors constructed at many points so that ALF could appear almost anywhere; Fusco operated him from underneath, so the unoccupied holes all over the floor were deep and treacherous.

The trap doors had to be reset multiple times, sometimes during a single scene. Principal puppeteer Paul Fusco who was mainly left-handed when puppeteering used his left hand to control ALF's mouth, while his right hand controlled ALF's right arm.

At times when ALF's full body was shown in the sitting position, Lisa controlled ALF's left hand by cable allowing slight finger movements.

There was additionally a third puppeteer, Bob Fappiano, who controlled ALF's facial and ear movements via a radio control offscreen.

During tapings, Fusco would wear a head-mounted microphone to record ALF's voice. The process resulted in numerous mistakes and retakes, making it impossible to record ALF in front of a live audience.

A laugh track was added during post-production. Fey said Fusco would only allow ALF to appear on the show if the puppeteers were hidden from everyone else.

While a puppet was usually used for ALF, there were some shots of the tiny alien running or walking around.

This can be seen in one of the series' intros, which concludes with the Tanner family getting their picture taken; ALF played by Meszaros walks over to be part of the photo.

However, Meszaros' services became too costly as well as time-consuming, and the full ALF costume was abandoned after the first season.

ALF scored its highest ratings during Season 2 reaching tenth place in the Nielsen ratings. Ratings remained at a steady fifteenth place during Season 3, but plummeted to 39th place during Season 4.

NBC moved the show from its traditional Monday night slot to Saturday in March , but ratings continued to fall.

The season-ending cliffhanger " Consider Me Gone " became an unintentional series finale when NBC gave Alien Productions a verbal commitment for a fifth season, but ultimately withdrew its support.

NBC executive Brandon Tartikoff later told Fusco that the network regretted cancelling ALF prematurely, saying "It was a big mistake that we cancelled your show, because you guys had at least one or two more seasons left.

Fusco commented in that his most enjoyable experience on ALF was sitting in the Writers' Room and pitching jokes while pushing the limit as to what NBC censors would allow.

Fusco commented that, "the greatest things were the jokes we couldn't put in the show. Fusco defended the premise saying that "ALF is years old, he can drink beer, he's old enough.

The cat-eating concept carried sporadically into the second season, with references including the "wedding cat" in the episode "Something's Wrong With Me," the Melmacian equivalent of a wedding cake.

For the hour-long season 1 episode, "Try to Remember," originally broadcast on February 9, , ALF tries to simulate a jacuzzi by bringing Kate's electric mixer into the bathtub, thus receiving an electrical shock that caused amnesia.

Fusco ended the original episode with a public service announcement from ALF himself, warning of the dangers of mixing water and electricity.

Despite this, NBC reported that a child attempted to recreate the scenario and nearly electrocuted himself in the process Fusco confirmed that the child was unharmed ; Fusco was forced to refilm the opening sequence, replacing the electric mixer with a manual egg beater.

ALF's amnesia is instead caused by a cranial concussion received after slipping in the shower a "thud" is heard rather than a "zap" , with all mentions of being shocked either overdubbed with new dialogue or deleted entirely including ALF's public service announcement.

You'd think he'd have more respect for the people providing him with unconditional support, shelter, and food. They ask nothing of ALF, other than to not eat their cat — and he can't even follow through on that.

Also, the Tanners couldn't risk having anyone over out of fear of ALF being discovered, which is very isolating for them. The Tanners should have just let the Alien Task Force take him and be done with it.

Had they done so, they would have saved themselves a lot of money, energy, heartache, and pet cats. The Tanner family would have been far better off without ALF in their lives.

His careless behavior also cost the Tanners their pet cat, Lucky. Lucky's days were numbered the moment ALF moved in. Melmacians consider cats a delicacy, and they also experience frenzies of uncontrollable feeding.

It was only a matter of time before ALF lost control and no one was there to stop him — and that time finally came in season 4, episode 9, "Live and Let Die.

Not only does ALF eat their beloved fur-baby, he attempts to eat even more cats by looking up free kitty ads in the local paper, and having them dropped off in the Tanners' garage.

Thankfully, the Tanners intervene and stop the carnage, returning all but one cat back to their owners. They kept one to become their new pet, of course.

And they also let ALF stay, of course. Because that's totally what people do if you eat their cat, rather than have you arrested, or at the very least, kick your cat-eating butt out onto the street.

Before the demise of the ironically named Lucky the Cat, he had several close calls with his equally furry, but not nearly as cute, alien roommate.

One of the more memorable of those times was when Lucky went missing during an incident that took place in season 1, episode 19, "Wild Thing.

Every 75 years, Malmecians undergo a wild transformation lasting 24 hours that greatly amplifies their feeding instincts, to the point they're virtually unstoppable.

ALF even has the Tanners build a cage for him and lock him in, but to no avail — he breaks loose and they lose track of him for hours.

They're able to eventually lure ALF back home using telepathy and a fork really , and he eventually returns to normal after the transformation passes.

Thankfully, he has no recollection of eating any cats, but does think he may have left something in the garage The episode ends with Willie Tanner saying, he'll do something about it, "just not immediately.

The adult mind is left with so many questions — starting with, how did he get the tiger out of the zoo and into the garage without getting mauled? How did the Tanners not hear anything?

And what kind of sedatives is Willie on that make him so relaxed about having a giant killer cat in his garage?

It's commonly assumed that ALF is a family show at heart, because it was such a huge hit with kids when it launched. However, the darker patina overlying the whole thing gives it a much more mature feel than mere kid fodder.

This is most easily identified in the evolution of some of ALF's traits, specifically his drinking habit.

ALF can be seen drinking beer and becoming intoxicated as early as the first episode. However, his devil-may-care attitude towards the parental figures on the show endeared him to kids, along with his furry puppet appearance.

ALF's popularity with younger viewers caused the show to take a more kid-friendly direction, featuring less booze as the episodes rolled on.

The last time alcohol is prominently featured on the show comes during season 2, episode 24, in the aptly named "Tequila. Call it a very special kind of "very special episode.

Willie Tanner is a shortwave radio enthusiast, and it's this unusual hobby that lures a lost ALF to his doorstep or, to be more accurate, through his garage roof.

In reality, it's highly unlikely that shortwave radio waves would be strong enough to get that far into deep space.

Research shows that the length such a signal can travel all depends upon the type of shortwave radio being used to both send and receive it.

Regardless, ALF probably wouldn't have been able to pick up such signals much beyond our immediate solar system. This isn't nearly far enough to locate while lost as far out as the Andromeda galaxy.

All science aside, the same radio waves that drew ALF to the Tanners would ultimately tear them apart. Turns out his girlfriend Rhonda and best friend Skip bought a new planet, and want ALF to come back and help them "make a new Melmac.

During those fateful moments when Skip and Rhonda beg ALF to return to them so they can "make a new Melmac," we know we're supposed to be devastated over the loss of this lovable, unique creature and the ultimate end of the show.

However, older watchers are more likely left wondering what was implied by "make a new Melmac. Are we talking about some sort of a cloning situation here?
