Alf: Season 2 [DVD]

Whether you can remember tuning into ALF on Monday nights in the late 1980s or you are a new generation ALF fan this DVD collection is the one for you--I would recommend it above any other season of ALF to both old and new fans.This season is full of the most memorable ALF episodes (and memorable equals VERY entertaining). ALF dreams of living on Giligan's Island (with MOST of the cast members from the original series--including the late Bob Denver), Kate dreams of her and ALF running for US President, ALF befriends a blind woman, and the crown jewel of the collection--the hour-long ALF Christmas special. I can remember reading the newspaper article that this special brought ALF to new heights: it gave him a #7 rating for the WEEK and may very well be the reason that his popularity grew to the point of warranting not one, but TWO Saturday morning animated cartoon series and the Marvel Comic Book title that ran from 1988-1992.This collection will bring hours of enjoyment to adult and children viewers alike, just as it did when the programs originally ran!

Saw some of the Alf episodes shown in the U.K during the late 80s and thought they were fun! Don't quite know what possessed me to buy the DVD import from the U.S.. some subconscious curiosity I guess.. but I'm so glad I did! It's a lot more funnier now I'm older.. I just didn't realize quite how smart this series was! I'm not going to put down this dvd set, just because they're the syndicated versions, because I can't remember and/or missed most of them the first time round. What I don't know, don't hurt me, right?.. and I suspect the episodes are actually better and tighter for it. The only down side to the series, is that the family side of things can get a little sickly at times, but that's a minor fault. Cool, slick and highly amusing.. Alf is a superstar! This series is a work of genius!

Like other reviewers I share the slight disappointment that part of the shows were cut. However, in the UK we are not lucky enough to get repeat showings of Alf and so this dvd release is great! As I remember the series, it was only shown once on primetime and I failed to video all the shows, so it's super that I can see the episodes I missed. My children (16 and 14... daft names for kids I know) have really got into ALF - they love the humour and the wisecracks etc. Also, for the price, the dvd set is great value - even after having had to pay for shipping to UK. The set is outrageously priced in UK and so thanks Amazon.com. Nice one!

I enjoyed ALF when it was on tv and perchesd the complete series I still enjoy watching it today watch it close as it is not only a great family comedy there is much to be learned from if

What can I say? We love ALF. We are kind of conservative and I let my 10 and 12 year old watch it. There are only a couple of comments in the first two seasons that may be offensive to the more conservative but these comments go right over my kids' heads as they did on me when I was a kid in the 80s. The rest of it the find funny and go around quoting.

I purchased these DVDs for my grandchildren; but I find myself watching the stories with them and by myself. My 8 year old grandson can't stop talking about how funny Alf is; he wants to take them home. His other grandmother gave him an Alf stuffed animal that she had saved when my son-in-law was growing up. It turns out that Alf was a favorite of his also. My grandchildren, my husband, my son and I are enjoying the DVDs very much.

ALF is a very funny show. His quick one-liners have me crying. The episodes are well written and acted. The episode where ALF tries to change his ways is quite funny, so is the one where he tries to boost the ratings of his favorite television program that's at risk of cancellation. Many of my favorite ALF episodes are in this season.The second season DVD packaging is much better than the first. Discs are no longer piled on top of one another. Pop in a disc, and you'll be treated to a couple minutes worth of the ALF Shopping Network, before being prompted to select an episode. The menus are, once again, well constructed.The episodes are syndicated again for season 2, but it doesn't bother me that much. I didn't have the chance to watch ALF when it was new, so I don't know the difference. Plus, ALF is no longer on TV, meaning the only way to see the shows is on these DVDs. For a show like The Cosby Show that is still on the air, the DVD producers made a mistake by releasing syndicated episodes. But in the case of ALF, it's the DVDs or nothing, so I'll take the DVDs.

This was a funny series back in the 80s. Alf was sorta a smart aleck fuzzy brown alien? I can't remember, but he really liked cats. ;) Good deal.

My son is very happy thanks again

Utilisation personnelle

Primero el dvd es de la región 1 la cual cosa no indica por ningún lado.Una vez solucionado el problema de la región, existe otro problema, el dvd únicamente está en inglés.

このシリーズの最後に、クリスマスにみんなで外出するというスペシャルが収録されてます。見たことがないので、おそらく日本では放映されてないものです。これがまた、感動的なのでびっくりです。アルフが病気の少女、ティファニーのために涙を流すシーンにはグッときます。さらに、半身不随で先を見失ったおじさんの自殺を思いとどまらせるアルフ。いつもの話からは想像がつきません。アルフをみなおしました。最後にはアニメのアルフも収録されています。英語ですが、アルフファンは必見のアイテムだと思います。

CULTE! CULTE! et CULTE!Je les ais tous vu quand j'étais gosse et j'en pleurais de rire... Ça n'a pas changé!Même si il faut reconnaître que la série à un peu vieillit, cela n'enlève rien à son esprit.ALF à des répliques tordantes et peut se regarder avec toute la famille.
