When I was a kid watching "ALF" I saw an episode where Skip and Rhonda come and visit the Tanner house. They actually had made the puppets, so they weren't just referencing them. I loved the episode. That was always the episode I wished they would show in reruns. Then when I bought the DVDs, I looked through them and I couldn't find it. So my question is, does such an episode exist, or was it a childhood dream I had, that seemed so real that to this day I thought the episode was real?
Whether it was fake or not, it was a cool episode. lol

Yes, Season One. Brain's birthday, but you only see Skip and Rhoda in a dream. There was another spot, where you see them. They are going to get Alf, BUT the DVD cuts it out and you only hear Skip.

I can't believe those scenes are cut on the DVD! I saw that episode on tv a month or two ago and yes one scene is a flashback to Alf and his friends in a cafe on Melmac just before the nuclear war that destroyed the planet, and the other where Skip and Rhonda are on a spaceship coming to pick up ALF. ALF talks to them both on the garage radio. Since they made the puppets it would have been cool to see more flashbacks like that in other episodes...

Good comments. But I still don't get it why they need to cut other melmacians from the DVD set. I don't see the point.

Yup, if you have the American "season sets" you are totally missing out and I can't believe people can accept that. I like the analogy to "The Last Supper" painting that somebody made. I can't understand why they cut out Skip & Rhonda in their spaceship but only left them talking on the radio.
I ordered season 2 from Germany and I hope it comes in the mail this week. Yeah screw Lionsgate and their crap.

" I can't understand why they cut out Skip & Rhonda in their spaceship but only left them talking on the radio."
Cutting out the radio thing too wouldn't have made any sense, since this is when he gets in contact with them and decides to go home, which is the storyline of the episode.

The quality of the original broadcast tapes was poor. The uncut ones were in better shape. They were too lazy to clean them up. They even released the episodes out of order.
Do yourself a favor and buy the uncut DVD's which are available in Germany. Amazon.de has them. These releases are 99% uncut. Wikipedia has some more info about the cuts.
You'll probably need a code-free DVD player which you can get for as low as $80. It will enable you to play DVD's from any country including films not released on DVD in North America.
Alf has more fans per capita in Germany than the United States.
