ALF

### Rating

**ALF** is a UK VHS release by The Video Collection and Lorimar Home Video on 6th July 1987.

## Description

**ALF** is an Alien Life Form

**ALF** is 202 years old.

**ALF's** heart is in his ear.

**ALF** eats cans and cats (and just about anything else)

This furry Alien has journeyed across the galaxies from his home planet, Malmae, to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting family.

Dad is intrigued by him. Mom is wary of him, the kids adore him. Lucky the cat is terrified of him!

In the first two episodes of this enormously successful series, ALF arrives on Earth, tries to settle in and then goes on a camping trip with his new family.

ALF is as loveable as E.T., just as ugly and much, much hairier!
