ALF
*ALF's name is Gordon Shumway, and he's from the planet Melmac.
*Producer 'Paul Fusco' was the voice of ALF.
*Michael Eisner, head of The Walt Disney Company, made an unsuccessful bid to buy the series outright before Lorimar made a syndication deal with Alien Productions.
*The final episode ("Consider Me Gone") was, indeed, intended as a cliffhanger. At the time it was filmed, NBC was still up in the air over whether the show would be cancelled. The cliffhanger format was intended to help persuade NBC to give the show one more chance, if only to resolve the "To Be Continued" ending. Six years later, the TV movie Project: ALF finally brought closure--although the lack of the original human cast, and poor writing, cause many fans to reject Project: ALF as part of the show's canon.
*The name of every episode is also the name of a song. Each is relevant to the episode's plot.
*ALF stands for Alien Life Form.
*The names of the Melmacian holidays and currencies mentioned by ALF in some episodes are actually the surnames of the crew-members.
