ALF Comes To DVD In Season Sets

[Luke]

For fans of ALF, this was reported on TVShowsOnDVD.com :-

Earlier today we got an email from Melmac letting us know that the first season of ALF will be released on DVD August 10 from Lions Gate Home Entertainment. The set will carry a SRP of $39.98. Unfortunately that's all we know for now, but we'll keep you posted when we receive any more information.

FYI, The pilot episode features ALF watching and commenting on Sesame Street so there was a bit of a nod to Henson at the time.

I forgot about that. It's interesting that they did that because Jim Henson was very upset when Alf came on the air. According to Bernie Brillstein Jim was very upset he helped Paul Fusco get Alf on NBC and he thought that the Muppets should be Brillstein's only "puppet" client.

Yeah it was interesting to read that in the autobiography. Paul Fusco told me ages ago that Jim ended up becoming quite a fan over time so it seems like things got better but i guess there was always an element of rivalry there.

Thats great news, I love alf and would love to have some DVD of him.

I agree. You can hardly catch ALF on TV anywhere these days (well except when he appears on "Hollywood Squares.") I'm looking forward to having the DVD.

I remember that!

Brian and ALF are watching Sesame Street together

Brian: "Do you get Sesame Street where you come from ALF?"

ALF: "No...I don't even get it HERE."



BTW: Wouldn't this topic be more appropriate in another forum?
