WARNING!!!!!This set contains episodes EDITED for syndication NOT the original broadcast versions. Very disappointing. Shame on you Lions Gate. Would have given it 0 stars if it were possible.

Edited syndicated versions? I think if you took a survey of any buyers of TV season sets..."Would you rather have a pristine set of edited shows or a less-than-pristine set of unedited shows?"...I'd bet that 90% or more would opt for the uncut versions. After all, how bad could a 15-year-old show be at this point? I'll buy this set just for the unaired pilot episode, but if Seasons 2, 3 & 4 are also the edited versions then I'll take a pass and just watch my old VHS tapes. (This is also why I took a pass on buying "Combat!" Season 1 DVDs..."time-compressed" versions).

SO I HAVE TO FORK OVER BIG BUCKS to get all the 4 seasons of Alf THAT ARE CUT? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. Thanks for the warning, I WILL NOT BUY!!!!!

Alf is great, and so are those DVDs.

These are the minus:
- cut scenes, for I don't know what reason, some parts of the episodes are missing. Unless you've seen the episode many many times you won't notice.
- The DVDs are not multilanguage, for my fellow Quebecers who don't understand English, too bad.
- The episodes are not in correct order, and good luck if you want to find one, there is no list and they are not written on the discs, so you have to insert DVDs and look.

The plus:
- It's Alf, and is sure is funny!
- Some will not like the fact that the image is not that good, it looks more like the original TV broadcast. Well I kinda like it, it's like we were back in the 80s!
- DVD extras are good.

I'd recommend this set to everyone who loves Alf, the lost star is for the cut parts and the lack of order for the episodes.

i'm only 16 and i watch alf everyday on family and then it got canceled i only found out about it when i was lookin for some other season DVD's cause i had to go to work so now i'm so happy and i can't wait till all the seasons are on DVD hope it is soon go Gordon

It is about time that the industry finally got it in there heads to release alf. I going to get this the first chance I get.

Thirty days 'til ALF comes out,
I'm so happy I could shout,
Shout for joy, I'm really glad,
ALF on disc I wish I had.

Season One I want real fast,
Thirty days, I'll never last,
I'll have to wait thirty days,
Lion's Gate still gets my praise.

August 10th, too long to wait,
Move it up, Just change the date,
Thirty days 'til ALF comes out,
I will buy it, there's no doubt.

My friend Ron says ALF is fake,
A real long hike, he should take,
Take a hike Ron take one now,
Don't belive? I don't know how.

ALF is real Ron, this I know,
Gordon Schumway told me so,
Get with the plan stupid guy,
ALF on disc you need to buy.

Season One is almost here,
When it hits, I'll have to cheer,
Seasons Two and Three and Four,
I'll have to wait even more.

Thirty days to go is bad,
Not as bad as what we had,
We had to wait much too long,
Wait Wait Wait, That's just plain wrong.

DVD's will soon be mine,
Like pigs in slop, I'll be fine,
Buy ALF soon, Enjoy the fun,
ALF's the man, he's NUMBER ONE!

Alf is one of the coolest shows I've ever watched! The stories were always fun and the cast pulled off one hell of a job.Paul Fusco gave Alf a delightfully memorable voice. To me nothing is funnier than a midget running around in the Alf suit whenever they need to show his feet and whatnot.Buy this DVD!

I may not be all that old but even now i still feel like i am young and waching my favorite lovable family aliean on the televison. I actually signed a petiton to keep alf on the hallmark channel because I beleve that this show is timeless. Kids from now untill the world ends will always see alfs humor. I sugest that you should pick this up if you have kids. Alf will surely give them an experionce that they will never forget. I am telling you now if you have them waching alf when they are kids later in their lives they will return to you and say hey mom or dad do you still have those alf dvd's i want my kids to wach them. Lets never let Alf Die.

Devoted Alf Fan

This IS the summer of Alf!!!!! With the new talk show starting July 7 and now the DVD release of Season 1!!!! My favorite alien IS BACK!!!!!!!!! The only thing that would make it better is an English language DVD release of Project Alf(why only in German?)
