I like both shows but Newhart is much better. Ratings in their head-to-head showdown did not reflect that, though. ALF finished #12 and Newhart was down at #54, just 11 spots ahead of its fall leadout Coming of Age which was yanked after one month.

Newhart, but it's not a blowout.
Alf ate cats. Bob didn't (as far as we knew). So Alf wins.

I voted for Newhart. And that's coming from someone who owns more than 4 dozen comic books from the Marvel Comics ALF series...! :)

In Bob Newhart's third TV series called " Bob" from the early 90's, there was a beautiful cat in the cast. Bob and his wife in the show had a lovely silver tabby cat. All cats are adorable , but this one was exceptionally beautiful! :)

Besides the cat, Marvel Comics also came out of that third Newhart series

As a kid, I would have said ALF. I loved that show. But as an adult, I still like ALF but I've come to really appreciate and love Newhart. It's become a favorite of mine. So, I went with Newhart.
