Six years ago, the lovable intergalactic fugitive Gordon Shumway, best known as ALF, was on his way back to his new home when the Alien Task Force finally caught up with him. Now, he is being studied at a top-secret military base where he finds allies who feel that ALF's existence should be announced to the world to ensure his safety... especially when they learn that the abrasive Colonel Milfoil wants ALF, and all Alien Life-Forms, destroyed.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was meant to launch a new ALF series for ABC, but ratings tanked and the network passed. ALF has been in development hell ever since.
The Alien Task Force plot directly mirrors real '90s UFO conspiracy culture—think X-Files meets Saturday morning puppet show.
