What happens when an alien spacecraft crash lands on your garage?  What happens when the pilot decides to take up residence with you and your family?  And what happens if that alien is a 4.5-foot tall furry creature with a nose like an aardvark, curiosity that knows no bounds, an insatiable talent for getting into trouble and a penchant for considering your pet cat a culinary delight?  Well, if you're like the Tanners you grin and bear it and accept "ALF" as one of the family.

America first met ALF back in 1986.  The popular television series had people everywhere uttering ALF's catch-phrase, "I kill me!"  Parents loved him, kids identified with him, women young and old wanted to hug him.  Spin-offs followed, such as an early morning ALF cartoon series, the movie Project ALF, Halloween costumes, stuffed talking ALF dolls, magnets, lunch boxes and apparel.  In 1990 ALF departed American living rooms for places unknown (though he was spotted as the Center Square on the very popular game show, Hollywood Squares, along with other periodic guest appearances where his wit and impeccable comedic timing were always a hit).

A new generation of fans is sure to fall in love with the huggable alien with the release of ALF Season 3 on DVD.  The four disk set includes the entire season and the option to watch introductions to each episode by ALF himself.  See what ALF does when he thinks the new neighbor is Elvis Presley!  Watch how ALF and Willie Tanner (Max Wright) handle a homeless man (David Ogden Stiers of M*A*S*H) who turns ALF into the Alien Task Force.  Follow along as Willie takes ALF to meet his cousin (an alien reported in a tabloid).  The ALF Season 3 DVD gives families the opportunity to just sit back and enjoy all of the romps, antics and laughs together!
