<<ALF is an American science fiction sitcom that originally ran on NBC from 1986 to 1990 and was created by Paul Fusco. The title character was Gordon Shumway, a friendly extraterrestrial nicknamed ALF (for Alien Life Form), who crash lands in the garage of the suburban middle class Tanner family. The premise of ALF is similar to an earlier television series, My Favorite Martian which portrayed an English-speaking alien who was stranded on Planet Earth after a spaceship crash.

ALF (Paul Fusco) follows an amateur radio signal to Earth and crash-lands into the garage of the Tanners. The Tanners are a suburban middle class family in Los Angeles, California. The family consists of social worker Willie (Max Wright), his wife Kate, their teenage daughter Lynn, younger son Brian, and their cat Lucky. ALF finds that, despite his occasional attempts to catch Lucky with the intention of making the cat a meal, he has come to love and respect the family pet too much to do anything untoward with Lucky's remains, although he admits to the Tanners he has become the worst kind of Melmacian, a "cat lover".

The Tanners take ALF into their home and hide him from the Alien Task Force (a part of the U.S. military) and their nosy neighbors Trevor and Raquel Ochmonek, until he can repair his spacecraft. He generally hides in the kitchen. It is eventually revealed that ALF's home planet, Melmac, exploded because of a catastrophe involving nuclear war. ALF was off the planet because he was part of the Melmac Orbit Guard. ALF (a.k.a. Gordon Shumway) is homeless, but he isn't the last survivor of his species. He becomes a permanent member of the family, although his culture shock, survivor guilt, general boredom, despair, and loneliness frequently cause difficulty for the Tanners.

While most of the science fiction of ALF was played for comedic value, there were a few references to actual topics in space exploration, for example ALF's using a radio signal as a beacon in the pilot episode. In the episode "Weird Science", ALF told Brian, who was building a model of the solar system for his science project, that there were two planets beyond Pluto called "Dave" and "Alvin", which gets Brian in trouble at school. However, after Willie makes a call to an astronomical organization, he explains to Brian and ALF that "Dave" could have been the planetoid Chiron, or "Object Kowal", after its discoverer.>>

<<Space Cats is a cartoon series for television (with some live-action puppetry sequences) that aired on NBC in 1991. It is a comedy show about alien felines helping mankind. It was from Paul Fusco, the creator (and voice) of ALF. The Space Cats come from a planet called Trygliceride-7, ruled by a being named D.O.R.C. (short for Disembodied Omnipotent Ruler of Cats) which can be described as a disembodied, bespectacled human head with a funny voice. The Space Cats station themselves on Earth in an underground base with a garbage can as its only access. D.O.R.C. describes each mission to the leader Captain Catgut and send the team of Tom, Scratch and Sniff out to work. At the end of each episode, the group gives the viewers a moral, then wrap up the episode vocalizing the Charge music and shouting out their team name.>>

Uncle Martin, was really my favorite Martian.
I have a great memories of him, Tim, Mrs. Brown, Detective Brennan.
I still try to point the finger, without any results of levitation.
