Uncut episodes on dvd

Post by the_one »


Question is will they ever bring the uncut full seasons of ALF to dvd? I wish they would I remember the episode for season 1 "Wild Thing " in the ending credits there is defiantly more to the episode. Something needs to happen its unfair that the dvds are like this. ALF deserves better.

To be honest, the chances of the un-cut episodes coming to DVD are slim and none, and as ALF would say, "and slim is out of town."

Best bet is to try to find someone who is willing to part with their originals.

I agree. Unfortunately, it all comes down to $$$$$

Although all of us on this Forum are extremely devoted to ALF, even we (from time to time) must face reality. Currently, ALF just does not have adequate broad market appeal to be a big $ maker.

The thing is the Syndicated episodes were already re-mastered, and the NBC master tapes were still in original condition.

Hope is probably for a small distributor (like VSC) to take the license once the current DVD's are out of print and re-master the originals in HD/Blu Ray for a Region 0 (worldwide) DVD release. They sell tons of ALF to Germany, Europe so they are the only ones who could probably sell enough to make it worth doing, and they'd have the additional bonus of being uncut. The fans oughta campaign them or something when the time comes.
