- Richard18 oktober 2025Saw 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.
