Welcome to a new series called "ALFsplaining", a not especially serious podcast by Ben Baker and John Matthews exploring our mutual fascination with the American sitcom ALF which ran on NBC between September 1986 and April 1990. And boy are its legs tired!

In this preview episode, Ben and John talk about how they got into this ridiculous situation, the world ALF crash landed into and the state American and British TV were in when he did.
