I like both. But I must say I like the second theme better.

Regardless of the music, I prefer the first intro (seasons 1 and 2) becacuse the characters are shown in funny situations. I think the second intro lacks creativity, and besides, it's too long, I think. And because I don't really like the second intro, I don't really like the music, either.

Seasons 1/2 theme - 1:01
Seasons 3/4 theme - 1:00

You must think both themes are too long then...

Regarding the lack of creativity...you seem to be talking about the scenes shown in the background, NOT the "theme music" itself (which is what this thread is about). From a music standpoint, the seasons 3/4 theme is much more creative and complex than the first two seasons (the arranger used the original theme as a template, and expanded upon it).

OK, I surrender. :)

Yes, you are right, I was talking about the scenes shown in the background, but for me it's difficult to abstract the music from those scenes. Yes, I agree that the theme song of seasons 3 and 4 is more acoustic, and I prefer acoustic music. Are they really of the same length? Well, that surprises me, the second theme song seems much longer to me. :)

And finally, when I said "lack of creativity" I didn't mean the music, but the scenes running in the background. Sorry I was off-topic. Maybe we could open a new thread in which we can discuss the intros for seasons 1-2 and 3-4. :)

I really like the theme song from season 3 and 4. It's good and make me happy. I like the sax too :D saxophones seemed popular in sitcoms in the 80's and 90's. :)

ALF=Funny,

I hope you don't mind, but I edited your title from "theme song" to "theme music." I'm being picky, but since the themes do not have lyrics they would not officially be theme "songs."

Love them both but I have to go with the first & second season theme.

Isn't there already a thread about this by the way?

Yes and no...it was never really discussed in great detail. I believe this is the thread you are referring to.

There may be another...if there is, I can't find it.

I think there is a poll somewhere, if my memory is correct.

I prefer the Season 3 & 4 theme music. When I watch those episodes on DVD I usually listen to the theme while with the Season 1 & 2 eps I usually skip the theme.

Hi - I have a Motorola Phone Tools program (I forget the exact title) where I took an MP3 and loaded it to my phone (in the process converting it to a ringtone). The MP3 is on the following page if you're interested in downloading, and converting it to a ringtone.

<EDIT> Please visit the new multimedia page at http://www.alftv.com/multimedia.php </EDIT>

One of these days I have to consider converting all of the RM (Real Media) files on the multimedia page to a different format...5-6 years ago everyone had RealPlayer on their computer...not so much anymore.
