ALF: The Animated Series

Show Summary

Aired: 1987 - 1989
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

The emmy winning animated series that tells the story of Alf's (or rather Gordin Shumway) life on Melmak before it was destroyed. Gordin and his friends were fighter pilots in the orbitle guard, and it was there duty to protect Melmak from the megalomaniac Larson Peddie and his army of melmacion traitors. The show included such characters as Ronda (his girlfriend) Colonel Can'tfail (the Melmacion equivilant of Jay Leno) and The Shumway Family, Gordin's Mom and Dad, his younger brother Cirtus, and his baby sister Awgi. And I think they owned a dog and a bird or something.

Couldn't agree more, Celeste. After this great series, Saturdays just weren't the same. I can't remember another American animated series with more continuity and actual quality in animation than this one. :)

Oh my God!! I used to love that show. I really loved the intro. I remembered being a little sad, because I knew what happened to all his family and friends from watching the live action show. I played that theme song at least twenty times before I stopped. Great memories. Wish I could be a kid again.

I remember watching this cartoon. It always felt wierd being able to see him from the waist down. This was back when Saturday cartoons were something to look forward to.

Ok, here are the correct lyrics (I have the MP3):

Gordon, send us into outer space
'Cause there ain't no one like you in the Melmacian Race
Teach us, send us, Gordon make us twitch
You're the only one here who can scratch our itch
So Gordon, Gordon, put us in stitches
There ain't no one like you in this place

Melmac is nuts, but worse than that
Melmac is really no place for cats
But Gordon you've got that handle on things
You're the only one here that sings and swings

Yeh, Gordon send us into outer space
'Cause there ain't no one like you in the Melmacian Race
Teach us, send us, Gordon make us twitch
You're the only one here who can scratch our itch
So Gordon, Gordon, put us in stitches
There ain't no one like you in this place

Hey Gordon, come on and make us dance

"No more Tabby Paw Pie for me before bedtime!"

(Note: Melmac was the stuff dishes used to be made of.
Parents used to throw them at us in the fifties and sixties.)
