Alf
Tales

ALF Tales is an animated American series that ran on the NBC television network on Saturdays from August 1988 to December 1989.

The show was a spinoff from the series ALF: The Animated Series.

The show had characters from that series play various characters from fairy tales.

The fairy tale was usually altered for comedic effect in a manner relational to Fractured Fairy Tales.

Each story also typically spoofed a film genre, such as the "Cinderella" episode done as an Elvis movie.

Some episodes featured a "fourth wall" effect where ALF is backstage preparing for the episode, and Rob Cowan would appear drawn as a TV executive to try and brief ALF on how to improve this episode.

For instance Cowan once told ALF who was readying for a medieval themed episode that "less than 2% of our audience lives in the Dark Ages".

I just thought the Alf cartoon series was the best! This is pretty good, but I guess my favorite fractured fairy tales didn't necessarily "star" Alf. But I just love it. The puns are the greatest.
