  1. Someone to Watch Over Me (Part 2)

    Someone to Watch Over Me (Part 2)

    "ALF spots a criminal by his neighbor's house, and walks inside to investigate." We left Ben and John on a cliffhanger - our first of the series but far from its last - with ALF trapped Chez Ochmonek as the Police close in on him. How will Willie get him out of this one? And who'll get Willie out too? Its an exciting one so fetch your popcorn and a gunbelt as its time to visit a very strange episode of ALF indeed...

  2. Someone to Watch Over Me (Part 1)

    Someone to Watch Over Me (Part 1)

    "Willie is chosen by the neighborhood to lead a neighborhood watch. But ALF takes control of the radio and starts to talk as if he was Willie." There's a crime spree going down and ALF is the man to fix the pus-ridden streets of Hemdale. Ben Baker and John Matthews go ahead and make his day in this unusual two-part opener which occasionally feels like a totally different sitcom alltogether. And the less said about Pat Benatar Jnr the better... And if you want to help us pay for walkie talkies and binocular wear, perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard.

    We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert

    "Willie's Uncle Albert visits the Tanners, and collapses from a heart attack after getting a glimpse of the alien, causing ALF to feel grief thinking he caused the death" More murder from the Melmacian mofo? Gosh! Best get an expert in the field over! Call for Paul Abbott from The Big Beatles and Sixties Sort Out for this McCartney-music monikered episode. He'll help Ben Baker and John Matthews sort the dead men from the dead boys! This one gets dark and its entirely the fault of Paul Fusco!

    Can I Get A Witness

    "ALF is put on trial for breaking the Ockmonecks' window." All rise for ALFsplaining….it's the court case of the century! Can Shumway, G prove his innocence to prosecutor Tanner, Wilbus in the court of Judge Kate? In the reporters box, Ben Baker and John Matthews scrawl crude things in their notebooks as they consider pivoting the whole show to a crime caper in order to improve the flagging ratings. Now dats moider! And if you want to help us clear this spatter, perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard. You'll get a tons of bonus stuff and keep this here show on the air.

  5. The Boy Next Door

    6 JANV.

    The Boy Next Door

    "ALF befriends Trevor and Raquel's nephew Jake from New York." A replacement for Brian? Surely not! (we didnt kill him) Either way, wonder writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss are on scripting duties to introduce a new Ochmonek to the party so Ben and John will be coming the episode for Simpsons-style jokes. And for nits like usual. Obvs. And if you want to fix our telescope, perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard. You'll get a tons of bonus stuff and keep this here show on the air.

  6. ALF's Special Christmas

    16/12/2024

    ALF's Special Christmas

    Oh boy, we finally made it to the most famous ALF episode of the lot - for good reasons, you may ask? Ha ha, no. Of course not. This is a double-length but largely joke-free misery festival full of suicidal Santas and sick kids by the pound. In the midst of it all John Matthews tries to remain positive whilst Ben Baker is already on the egged nog. Listen out for some special seasonal guests and a lot of tinsel Tanner tut as we shuffle through this bumper edition like all your festive favourites. Is there any goodness in there though? Tune in now and find out... And if you want to give us a "special" "Christmas", perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard. You'll get a tons of bonus stuff and keep this here show on the air. Visit ⁠https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra⁠ for more. Thank you! And Merry Christmas! We'll be back on Jaunary 6th.

    Isn't It Romantic

    "Seeing that Kate and Willie have been arguing of late, ALF and the Tanner children plan to recreate the couple's Niagara Falls honeymoon." What an ALF Antic! An ALFtic even! The love life of Willie and Kate is addressed by the four fingered fluff machine who uses some uncanny abilities to recreate the best day of their marriage. And we dont mean the day they met him! And if you want to give us the magic fingers, perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard. You'll get a tons of bonus stuff and keep this here show on the air.

    Night Train

    "Reminiscing his younger and more carefree days when he was known as "Boxcar Willie", Willie takes ALF to the switchyard where they jump a moving freight train." ALF and train jumping - together at last! Its no exaggeration to say this is one of the great ALF episodes of all time but will it - as Ben Baker and John Matthews fear - make a lousy episode of ALFsplaining? Time - and beans - will decide! And if you want to buy us some beans, perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard. You'll get a tons of bonus stuff and keep this here show on the air.
