Paul Fusco created the character in 1984 using an alien-looking puppet, that he used to annoy his family and friends. Bernie Brillstein was approached to see Fusco's audition with a puppet character but was initially uninterested, having managed Jim Henson for years by that point, and regarding Henson as the best puppeteer in the business. However, Fusco's brief performance as ALF won over Brillstein, who thought the character was hilarious and strong enough to be the focus of a series. [1] [2] Lacey, Gord (August 13, 2004).

During the first season of ALF, whenever the character had to be seen in full-bodied shots, Hungarian actor Michu Meszaros would don a life-sized ALF costume. However, Meszaros' services became too costly, and the regular ALF puppet would be used for all of his scenes on the show. While playing teenaged daughter Lynn on the show, Elson met a production assistant named Scott Hopper. Romance bloomed and the pair married in 1993. Elson continued to act for a while, but after the birth of her daughter in 1997 she decided that being a mom was the full-time job that appealed to her the most. It’s not that ALF was lazy on purpose...well, actually, he was. But he was so darn lovable and funny that we can overlook one or two (or twenty) tiny character flaws. His personality endeared him to his TV family and viewers alike - so much so that I doubt any of us who were around in the 80s will ever forget his character. We all probably have a story about watching ALF growing up, and what better way to pay tribute to him than through a Halloween dedicated to this character? Produced by Alien Productions, ALF ran for four seasons and produced 99 episodes, including four one-hour episodes ("Try to Remember", "ALF's Special Christmas", "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Tonight, Tonight") that were divided into two parts for syndication, totaling 102 episodes. The series proper concluded with an unresolved cliffhanger, but a later TVmovie, Project:ALF, served as a seriesfinale for the franchise.

ALF starred in the 1987 television special ALF Loves a Mystery, in which ALF revealed NBC's Saturday morning lineup to the viewers. [2] The season-ending cliffhanger " ConsiderMeGone" became an unintentional series finale when NBC gave Alien Productions a verbal commitment for a fifth season, but ultimately withdrew its support. [12] [14] ABC resolved the cliffhanger on February 17, 1996, with the TVmovie Project:ALF. NBC executive BrandonTartikoff later told Fusco that the network regretted cancelling ALF prematurely, saying "It was a big mistake that we cancelled your show, because you guys had at least one or two more seasons left."
