Plot Synopsis
Created by Tom Patchett and Paul Fusco, ALF is a half-hour sitcom that follows the adventures of Gordon Shumway, a wise-cracking alien from the planet Melmac, who crash lands into the garage of the Tanner family. The Tanners offer him a home and give him the nickname ALF, short for "Alien Life Form."
