I'm not usually a big Wikipedia fan, but here's some (I'm assuming) good info from the ALF page.
1) A scene where ALF is singing a song by Alvin and the Chipmunks was excised because of music copyright issues.
2) Inthe first season episode "Try to Remember", the cause of ALF's amnesia is changed from an electric shock to slipping and hitting his head, and ALF's "water and electricity don't mix" safety lecture is removed (this edit was first made when the episode was rerun during the summer of 1987).
3) One edited U.S. version from the second season ("Somewhere Over the Rerun") was used, although unlike the region 1 DVD, the music (mainly the Gilligan's Island theme) is not edited out.
4) The final episode "Consider Me Gone" has the "To Be Continued" caption before the end credits roll, which was edited out in the region 1 sets.
