                     In 
                      1986, Paul Fusco had an idea for a TV series about an alien 
                      living in a typical American family. The concept sounded 
                      promising to the network and a pilot was recorded. The network 
                      was convinced to produce the show, and together with co-creator 
                      Tom Patchett and executive producer Bernie Brillstein they 
                      shot four seasons and there have been more than 100 episodes. 
                      In addition, two animated ALF series were produced, one 
                      called "ALF tales" and one named "ALF animated" about ALF's 
                      adventures back then when he lived on Melmac.
