For those of you too young to remember, ALF aired every Monday night at 8:00p.m. Eastern.

Before The Simpsons, ALF was the big novelty producer with everything from T-shirts to puzzles to stuffed animals, although now, The Simpsons isn't as big novelty producers as it once was.

Yeah, I remember all that ALF Stuff! I've seen comics, cards, etc.

I still have my ALF book (In German) and my ALF talking doll. These are from Germany, where ALF was popular in the early 90s and still is, and, according to polls, is the second favorite Sci-Fi character in Germany. I recently got the cards, and when I found Odyessy when we moved to Georgia (Dad is in the Army), I was excited to see ALF on it. But I didn't get really back into it until April 2001. And recently a antique fair (Different groups of sellers) came, and one guy dealt in comics and cards, and he had the three ALF Card Sets (ALF Volumes 1 & 2, and ALF for President [Or ALF and the 50 States], and other sitcoms like 'Three's Company' and 'Welcome Back Kotter')...I got one of them from '88 and it's a nice piece of memorabilia that kept me going on ALF while it was off.
