    NOTE: DONT LISTEN TO THIS ONE BEFORE YOU HEAR SEASON TWO!


    Thought you were done with Ben Baker and John Matthews for the summer? Not even close!

    Not only will we have lots more exciting one offs here and there but there's the now standard series lookback where we go over our favourite episodes of the second run alongside some listener-doxxing stats, an investigation into the TV landscape our furry friend thrived in, questioning Dan Aykroyd's part in the ALF phenomenon, the crowning of the series' MVP and hear some messages from our most adoring fans. Yes, plural.

    "After realizing that Willie and Kate have emptied Lynn's college fund to support him, a guilty ALF gets ten newspaper routes to earn money for the family."


    Another episode in which ALF learns a valuable lesson about....nah, of course not...although he is briefly aware of his impact on the Tanners. Ben Baker and John Matthews fully weigh up the impact he's had on them too as we reach the end of season two and our last review episode for a while.


    There'll still be regular updates - audio and video - for the Orbit Guard who support this show being made via ⁠https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra but right now, we are more fried than a something cat sizzler burger something something....etc....

    ....see what we mean?

    Its been a blast though and we'll be back before you know it. And we might even bring a couple of pals....

    "The Tanners plan a party for ALF, who is depressed that he is the only one of his species."


    There have been some odd episodes of ALF this season but your hosts Ben Baker and John Matthews might have been officially outfoxed by this mix of dream sequences, sketches, downplayed melodrama, boffo gags, horrendous sound effects and confusing the blind. We'll miss it when its gone.
