Go back through our archive and you'll find interviews and chats with not only ALF himself - the great Paul Fusco - but Simpsons writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss too. And even Hacker T.Dog wades in with his opinions occasionally.

The lesser the ALF the better the ALFsplaining, thems the rules.

"Hey Tanners! It's me!" An episode where Trevor is the Deus Ex Machina shouldn't be this mid, but at least it makes a good podcast.

This week we're investigating the episode where ALF is blackmailed by a mysterious stranger - but he also takes time to try and sell the house, flood the sitting room and spy on the neighours.

We've waited two and a half seasons for ALF to be unmasked by a mysterious interloper and this week on ALFsplaining - the world's number 1 English-language ALF podcast - it looks like it might happen.

THIS WEEK: ALF eats an onion.

We thought this action, which went unremarked upon, was incredibly funny. We put in a call to Paul Fusco to ask who was tasked with taking the bite out of the onion, and the response was "That's a pretty big bite. Doesn't look human."
