Alf is seen in a dream sequence by Peter Griffin in "I Never Met the Dead Man". Alf appears as the subject of an E! True Hollywood Story in "To Love and Die in Dixie". In "Brian Goes Back to College", when Peter sees Brian wearing a tie at the television convention, he asks if he's Alf. The plot to "Ratings Guy" is very similar to the ALF episode "Prime Time" where the Tanners themselves became a ratings family and ALF himself rigged the system to make his programs more enjoyable.
