- The series was created by Paul Fusco and Tom Patchett, the same creators of the live-action series. It follows the adventures of Gordon "ALF" Shumway back on his days on planet Melmac. Each episode begins with a live-action introduction by ALF, who would break the fourth wall, as talking to the audience when first realizing the camera is on him. Only 9 episodes of this show have been released for purchase on DVD. All episodes are currently available as streaming video on Amazon Instant Video and Hulu.
- ALF: The Animated Series was a Saturday morning cartoon television show starring ALF with his friends and family on Melmac before the planet's destruction. ALF wrote the series as seen before the episode where ALF is working on the script.
- Much of the humor arises from the characters taking part in surrealistic activities while treating them as ordinary and unremarkable. For example, in order to prove their manhood and win their distinguished antlers, the sons of members of the Mayonnaise Lodge (formed of men who work in the mayonnaise mines) must wrestle a clam and make it sing. Other episodes had issues somewhat similar to Earth issues, such as when Gordon's parents take part in a free vacation, while failing to realize it is a time share scam: the scam artist literally steals the Shumway residence and transplants it to the time share plots, then uses brainwashing machines to convince Flo and Bob to buy a house they already own.
