    "Lynn is depressed over being dumped by a boyfriend for a prettier girl, so ALF enters her in a beauty pageant to increase her self-confidence."

    Its an oddly familiar plot as excuse for some great gags about clog dancing. ALF is at his jerky best here but perhaps for once its well placed? Your hosts as ever are Ben Baker and John Matthews who are dressed in a crimpolence blouse with ruffs from Top Shop and rather too much make-up.


    And if you want to pay for them to get perms, perhaps consider joining the Orbit Guard. You'll get a tons of bonus stuff and keep this here show on the air for many Halloweens to come. Visit ⁠https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra⁠ for more.

    "After watching a presidential debate, Kate has recurring dreams of running against ALF."


    Another election? Did we not just do that? Well, its time to strap on your best Uncle Sam hat and never wear trousers as its a politically charged episode of ALF today - so much so we've actually bumped it up the running order a little to make it super topical and relevant. I mean, as much as a sitcom about a hairy dwarf alien can.

    Kissing babies and taking names as always are your hosts Ben Baker and John Matthews who wonder if ALF as President might actually be a good thing. Especially as we recorded this a week before the election cycles results were announced....

    "Not allowed to go trick-or-treating, ALF attends Willie's Halloween party and tries to convince his boss to give Willie an overdue promotion."


    Ghoul-d morning ghouls and man...ghouls? Can you tell its the Halloween episode of ALF this week? And boy is it a treat with "Gordo" finally allowed to let his freak flag fly around real human beings...but with a catch. Or, more accurately, a zipper. Dressed as Fake Shemps in the corner as always are your hosts Ben Baker and John Matthews.
