ALF originally aired on NBC from 1986 until 1990. Since the last regular ALF episode was shown, ALF has not been shown that often in the USA. The family that ALF lived with was made up of: Max Wright played the father (Willie) and his wife was played by Anne Schedeen (Kate). The two children were played by Andrea Elson (Lynn) and Benji Gregory (Brian).

In 1986, Paul Fusco had an idea for a TV series about an alien living in a typical American family. The concept sounded promising to the network and a pilot was recorded. The network was convinced to produce the show, and together with co-creator Tom Patchett and executive producer Bernie Brillstein they shot four seasons and there have been more than 100 episodes. In addition, two animated ALF series were produced, one called "ALF tales" and one named "ALF animated" about ALF's adventures back then when he lived on Melmac.
