ALF
“Your, out of this world.” – The phrase coined by the loveable alien creature ALF.
ALF was a TV series created in 1986 and aired until 1990. It was based on a loveable furry brown alien whose original name was Gordon Shumway. He crashed his spaceship in Los Angeles, landing in the home of the Tanners, your typical all-American family. Accepting him into their home almost immediately, Willie, Kate, Lynn, and Brian named him ALF (short for Alien Life Form).
ALF came to Earth after his home planet Melmac blew up and sent his ship there. He ended up living with the Tanner family for four exciting years. We as viewers were privileged to see the amazing alien in action. When ALF wasn’t raiding the fridge, or chasing Lucky the family cat, or breaking something of value, he was being a friend.
The Tanner family relied on ALF for advice and comfort; Even Willie, who rarely showed his appreciation of ALF’s presence in the home. If ALF proved to be anything while he was still on Earth, he proved that he was a member of the Tanner family.
ALF’s popularity grew, and a cartoon as well as a movie spun off from the hit show. You can still catch the reruns of ALF, and relive the great moments of the series.
ALF was among the more popular 80’s TV sitcoms. It practiced the importance of good family values. It had stylish humour, and pure heart that its viewers could relate to. ALF can now be apart of your family of favourite T-Shirts. Now you too, can be out of this world!
