Alf Season Two 

 

I am very thankful I had the money to purchase Alf Season Two on DVD. It has been interesting going through this comedy television show about an alien that comes down and lives with a family. The Tanner family hides Alf (Gordon Shumway) from the rest of the world because they are afraid of what the government would do to him. Willie Tanner works for the government as a social worker so he would know how horrible the government can be to some people. We have certainly seen some horrible things from our government like calling citizens deplorables, attacks on parents, Christians, and more.

There is plenty of humor within Alf Season Two. Alf is constantly getting into trouble. His heart is in the right place and he wants to make things right. Alf Season Two even deals with a couple of important issues. The first is violence in the schools and the second is alcoholism. Alf Season Two teaches kids to not fight. Alf Season Two teaches that alcohol is bad. The negative sides of both are shown in Alf Season Two. In both of those episodes Alf tries to help out.

There are two bonus episodes in Alf Season Two. Both of those are from Alf The Animated Series. There are twenty-five episodes in Alf Season Two on DVD (not counting the two bonus animated episodes). The shows usually range around half an hour. The Christmas episode was a bit longer and had shades of It’s A Wonderful Life. Alf finally learns a little bit about Christmas in Alf Season Two. Alf also learns about Halloween in Alf Season Two. One of the best lessons in Alf Season Two is about how television influences all of us.

Alf Season Two is so much safer for families than so many other modern television shows. The concept of clean fun seems to have been lost on Holly Weird in the decades since Alf Season Two. The concept of death coming at any time was new to Alf since they all died at the same age. Not being able to eat the cat is a run on joke in Alf Season Two. We do not see much of Lucky in Alf Season Two though. Alf also feels bad when he realizes how much damage he causes the Tanner family - like Lynn and college.
