On this day, January 7, 1989, the final episode of Alf: The Animated Series aired on NBC. A prequel to the live-action sitcom ALF, the animated series explored the early life of Gordon Shumway (aka ALF) on his home planet, Melmac, before its destruction.

Running for two seasons with a total of 26 episodes, the show delved into ALF’s adventures with his family and friends on the quirky, cat-loving planet. While it retained the humor and charm of the original series, Alf: The Animated Series catered to a younger audience and provided more insight into ALF’s backstory.

Fun Fact: The series was followed by a spin-off, ALF Tales, which reimagined classic fairy tales with ALF and the Melmacians as the main characters.

Did you watch Alf: The Animated Series? How do you think it compared to the original live-action sitcom?
