French Alf Season One DVD set Odddity

Post by greattvtowatch »

I recently received my French version of Alf The Complete Series and I may have Un-earthed the most complete Alf Season One series of all or its a misprint but here it is. The running time as quoted on the back of the Box and the DVD case said 1000 Mins but I'm unable to watch the DVD set bacause I don't presently own a Region-free player so if Any else has the French Season one of Alf, Let me know and Season 2-4 all run 500-600 mins each.

My camera isn't high tech but below is some pictures you might see the time.

I'm guessing the 1000 minutes include any sort of special features that are on the discs. The Lion's Gate version that I have, has some outtake reels and the original version of the pilot. That doesn't quite account for a full 1000 minutes, but maybe there are more special features on the French set.

nice! all these new DVDs should have a thread, with all the details on runtime, extra features and etc.

what DVD player are you using? many DVD players can become region free by entering in a certain code

I seriously doubt the French DVD is any different in length compared to the other releases. I believe they are all released by Warner, so there shouldn't be more special features on a release in one country compared to another. The only exception could have been Germany, since ALF was/is so popular there. But their release was bare-boned.

Yeah, I saw that to but they don't include a back cover shot of the DVD only the front cover and how can Warner Bros. or Amazon mistakely think 650 Mins. is 1000 mins. those two numbers don't even look alike but when I get a region free player I will let anyone here know the contents.

They could, of course, have simply rounded up or something like that. Its seems like 1000 might be a little too many to me....
