ALF vs. Newhart
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...!
