ALF
When an ugly creature, who loves eating cats, crash-lands into the Tanner family's garage, they treat him as a guest and allow him to live with them as he comments on the stupidity of mankind.

Saw this one on Dutch TV in the late '80s, probably Veronica or TROS.
A sarcastic alien who crash lands into a suburban garage and immediately starts eating cats and roasting humans. What’s not to love?
ALF (Alien Life Form) is a walking puppet with attitude.
He lives with the Tanner family, drops one liners like a stand-up comic and somehow makes existential alien loneliness hilarious.
The show mixed slapstick, heart and weirdness.
As a teen, I didn’t question the puppet logic, I just laughed.
Willie Tanner’s constant stress, Lynn’s eye rolls and ALF’s obsession with TV and snacks made it feel like a sitcom from another planet.
