-------------------
A well-crafted family comedy about a fuzzy space alien who c
lands into the lives of the Tanner family, Alf Season Two spoons
up a second serving of 26 episodes as deliciously witty as the
first. The diminutive, sardonic Alien Life Form from planet
Melmac (voiced by Paul Fusco) becomes an integral (and unabashed)
part of the Tanner family in the sitcom's second season of its
four-year run (1986-1990), with many of the storylines maximizing
Alf's impish onstage chemistry with Willie (Max Wright). Alf is
more outspoken this year and viewers will relish the nostalgic
romps through his Alien Relocation Program, Melmacian hiccups,
and brief stint in a monastery. Alf hosts the David Letterman
show, rides the rails with "Boxcar Willie," recites his own
rendition of "Born Free," and protests his house arrest on
"Alfcatraz." The storylines continue to be fresh thanks to a team
of seasoned writers, several of whom are new to the show this
season. Alf remains a gem in the '80s lineup of family sitcoms by
striking a near-perfect chord between kid-friendly kitsch and
subtle adult humor. Alf never stoops to vulgarity; rather, the
program remains a wacky, eclectic view of humanity through the
eyes of an alien—who takes neither life form very seriously.
Don't miss the program's highlight, "Ballad of Gilligan's
Island," when Alf builds a lagoon in his backyard, morphs to
Gilligan's Island, and gets a reality check on the definition of
"fun," with cameos by the renowned cast of Bob Denver, Alan Hale,
Russell Johnson, and Dawn Wells. The four-disc set includes two
animated episodes.
