Re: #5: Keepin' the Faith
These brief descriptions make me want to take some time soon and have an ALF marathon.
Of course one reason I love this episode is because Terry Faith, I believe that was the woman's name, is from Dayton, OH (I was watching on a Dayton affliate when the show originally aired). I also like the people that WIllie and Kate meet through having a Terry Faith party. It's an outstanding episode. A little while later they would take it a step further and in the Halloween episode ALF would arrive with a zipper on his chest as if his body were a costume. I love holiday specials so that ones probably in my Top Ten. But I'm getting ahead of your list.

Re: #5: Keepin' the Faith
One of the first prime examples of ALF spending Willie/Kate's money without permission ...though this one turned out pretty well in the end.

Re: #5: Keepin' the Faith
I gave this one a 4-star rating. Very good episode and like Jeremiah said, one of the first examples of ALF spending money that isn't his As usual though, his heart was in the right place.

I like when ALF made all those "civil servant" digs, and yeah, pretty good episode. ALF really makes a successful businessman!

Re: #5: Keepin' the Faith
The vacuum cleaner broke send in Munich , or the washing machine that runs for 8 hours at night because ALF goes to sleep with the machine, it is his lullaby . I like the small piano lesson, and the lesson of makeup! He puts up no matter how on the face of Line! Oh my god, the nonsense he can do !
Re: #5: Keepin' the Faith
Yeah Alf has a terrible habit of spending money that ain't his. Good God! Can you imagine what'd be like if Alf was on earth now with the internet and places like eBay and Amazon? Alf would have the Tanners living on the streets!

Re: #5: Keepin' the Faith
ALF breaks everything, ALF spends a lot of silver and without asking! So I guess not today's world of Ebay, Amazon internet .... The Tanner family that has been clearly stand with ALF is rock and roll!
