This was actually a TV special shown on April 21, 1990. It was shown on all of the Big 3 (ABC, CBS, & NBC) stations, and cable channels BET, Nickelodeon, & USA at the same time. A VHS release of this special soon followed. Personally, I remember renting this so many times at my local Blockbuster Video around 1995 or so. I loved that special so much, which taught a good lesson about drug abuse, and had several "guest appearances" by many animated stars from Saturday morning shows at that time.

It was especially fun seeing Garfield and ALF together. Need I say more?

ALF: You want to help track down the thief, Garfield?
Garfield: Hey, going through life with a blue lampshade is work enough. Wake me when the lasagna comes.
(ALF unplugs the lamp, giving Garfield an electric shock)
ALF: Let me rephrase that. Do you want to help, or do you want to be lunch?
(A military-type music cue plays while Garfield straightens up)
Garfield: My luck to be stuck on a dresser with a pushy alien.

It took me until a few years ago to get that joke, because ALF eats cats.
