1. I'm from the US, what website could I order the ALF - Season Sets?

2. Does Germany have an amazon website like in the US?

3. Do the episodes play in English language?

4. Are the all the episodes from Season 1 and 2 all uncut and unedited? Is the opening theme uncut to?

5. Are the episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 all in the right order?

6. How much does Seasons 1 and 2 cost?

7. Does anyone have any idea when Seasons 3 and 4 will get released in Germany?

8. Do you have to have a region free DVD player in order to buy the ALF - Season Sets from Germany? If so, what's a good website or store to purchase a region free DVD player? How much do they usually cost?

9. Has anyone from the US bought ALF - Seasons 1 and 2 from Germany? If so, how do you like it?

10. Is there any special features on the ALF - Seasons 1 and 2 DVD Sets?

1. Amazon.de or ebay.de is a good choice.
2. See question 1
3. Yes, english is even the standard language I believe
4. Someone mentioned one line being cut from the pilot but I cant verify that, "For your eyes only" is missing 40 seconds cause one song had to be removed due to music rights, "Try to Remember" is the censored version where ALF hits his head instead of being electrocuted, "Somewhere over the Rerun" uses a syndicated print, but is still one minute longer than on the american sets. The other 47 episodes are, to my knowledge, uncut. All the music is intact.
5. Yes
6. Currently 22.97€ and 29.99€ respectivly on amazon, probably cheaper on ebay.
7. No dates have been given yet
8. The german sets are region 2, while the standard in the US is region 1. Region free dvd players are extremly cheap here (Sweden), I got no idea about the US market. Most DVD players can be manually set to region free.
9. Cant really respond to this one.. but I like them myself, crisp nice video and season 1 alone has over an hour of footage that the american DVDs cut out. ("Wild thing" is 19 minutes in the US dvd, 24:45 on the german dvd)
10. None whatsoever.

I just order the first season set yesterday from The German version of Amazon. It was about $50 in US dollars. Just got the email this mourning that it shipped.
I'm so looking forward to watching the complete first season in it's true uncut form.
I will order the 2nd season later. Did not want to charge to mutch on the credit card that I used.

Thanks so much for responding with the answers. I'm trying to decide what web site and what kind of Region Free DVD player to get. Since the Germany sets are Region 2, I would need the Region Free DVD player to be able to play the Region 2 Germany sets. Do you have any ideas on what web site and what kind of Region Free DVD player to get?

Cool. That's great. I will order mine after I buy a Region Free DVD player. Do have a Region Free DVD player that plays Region 2 DVDs? If so, what's the name of the Region Free DVD player and is it a good one?

My All Region DVD player is a Philips. Not a bad DVD player.Been a while since the last time I used it thoe.
I had a Cyberhome all Region DVD player before that but that thing was a piece of junk.

Just do a google search for all Region DVD players.And you will find online stores that sell All Region DVD players.And even All Region Blu-Ray players too.But man The All Region Blu-Ray players are expensive!

I was checking out amazon.com and I saw a few Philips.

I will have to do a google search for All Region DVD Players. I just want a regular All Region DVD Player, I do not need an All Region Blue Ray DVD Player.

Well good luck to whatever All Region DVD player you buy.

Thank you so much!

Received my import copy of ALF season 1 this mourning. I'm so excited!
Looking forward to seeing what scenes I have been missing from the crappy US version.
Well going to start watching this afternoon. Probably get the whole season watched by the time Monday rolls around. Its to darn cold,to do anything outside. So I'll spend my weekend watching Gordon and The Tanners.

Wow -- That's great! Please let me know how you like ALF - Season 1 and how you would rate it from a 1 - 10, after you are all done watching it. I'm sure it will be very good.

About Region Free players...

Just before Ally McBeal was announced for a Region 1 release, when it looked like that was a show that would never make it to DVD uncut in the US, I bought the R2 set.

As for something to play the DVDs on, all I had to do was pick up a cheap Phillips DVD player at Wal-Mart, and I went online and found the code to make it region free.

Simple as that.

I think Warner did a wonderful job with The German version of ALF season 1. The episodes are uncut,and I also liked how the episodes are in the correct order,unlike The US sets that are all out of order.
Yeah it was so nice watching scenes that you know are missing from The Lionsgates set. Such the episode "Wild Thing" in the uncut version of that episode there is a lot more Trevor(Did I spell his name right?) Yeah we see Willie asking Trevor to babysit Lucky while ALF is going threw his crazy period.
In the episode Pennsylvania 6-5000 the opening is lot longer then the edited version. And the scene where Kate was talking to Willie at the jail cell is longer then the edited version. Yeah so mutch better the the set we have.
Yeah I thought the picture quality was pretty good too. I still dont understand why Lionsgates was claming the uncut episodes was in poor shape? Because I saw nothing wrong with the picture quality of The German version. So I rate The German set a 10. The US well gets a 0 from me.
Well going to have to order the uncut version of season 2 pretty soon from Germany. Looking forward to seeing what I have been missing from season 2.:)

I recently ordered season 1 and will be doing a special blog review about it as soon as I receive it, where I'll also talk about other foreign DVD releases... I can't wait to see this one though!

You could post that several "foreign" DVD releases are superior to the american ones, including Married with Children, Roseanne, 3rd Rock from the Sun and more, where the US dvds had edited episodes in certain seasons.

Here is skees53's feature on ALF Season 1 DVD in Germany:

Season three was just released, and the episodes run between 23:15 and 24:15, with Tonight Tonight (part 1) running a whooping 25:34. Pretty sure the episodes are unedited. DEFINATLY no syndication cuts this time :)

I just ordered the Complete series (seasons 1,2,3 & 4) from Amazon.it (Italy) for a total of 51.56 Euro (37.56 & 14.00 del). What an incredible deal! Works out to $71.42 Canadian total.The price is listed as 45.97 Euro bit once it is processed it was further discounted to 37.56. This is the same Region 2 German edition that was listed on Amazon.de for 65.97 Euro plus delivery. I checked today and Amazon.de has dropped that price to 49.97 Euro which is almost as good, but Amazon.it still has it a little cheaper if anyone is looking for a great price to purchase this complete set at. Just make sure you have a universal dvd player that will play the region 2 discs.

That's strange, 'cause usually amazon.it has the worst prices (I'm italian and I order from amazon.co.uk.
Good deal for you! :)

.

Are there any issues with seasons 3 or 4? I bought the 4 from Germany and now I'll transfer over from my NBC copies any of the ones with issues.

None to my knowledge. "Tonight, Tonight" is featured as two episodes instead of the original one hour version, but I dont think anything is missing.

I watched the pilot last night and it seems to have that weird look to it, similar to how Shout screwed up 7th season All in the Family, where its a videotaped show but somehow has a filmed look to it. I don't know if that's from the PAL transferring or what. It just doesn't have that clean, live look like a videotaped show should have.
