A powerful and simple message. Just because you lose your world doesn't mean it's over for you. When we lose one purpose, we gain another. I lost my fiance unexpectedly 15 years ago this coming January. I didn't consider suicide once but twice after, but found my purpose that I've been able to share through her. I didn't go through with the attempts because something told me I had work to do, and the people who need and love me I wondered how bad it would of hurt them. My fiance and I planned a movie, write the script and never made it further due to her death. I wound up sharing it, found that people wanted more, so I got back into writing. I've published four books in three years, along with printing what she and I planned.
I've said this in other comment sections but it's worth saying again, for me, this is what ALF should have been. Going from place to place trying to get home while helping people along the way.
I partly agree with you...well just my opinion anyway. The Tanners were good for the show, however in the house where it mainly played were loads of limits, however it would have been amazing if there would have been in every season more episodes lile this. A few times Alf helped other people, however there should have been more episodes like this. This is 1 of the most powerful scenes, I cry every time. Well actually laughing and crying. Part of the episode is based on a true story. This 8 yr old girl Tiffany is based on a real life Tiffany who was 8yrs old and dying. Her last wish was to meet Alf...and Paul Fusco visited her in the hospital with Alf. ❤❤
You know with nearly 40 years of hindsight, I can see that being a better show than what we got. ALF wasn't just a wise cracking furball, he also had Survivors Guilt and repressed feelings of abandonment and anger due to losing his planet. I'm pretty sure that whole ordeal gave him PTSD (not that the show ever addresses it). Point is ALF could have been more than what it was, it could have dealt with serious issues, and still kept it's sense of humor.
3:55 to 4:20. The climax of the episode. Still brings tears to my eyes after all these years. Mr. Foley had done so many kind and selfless things for others his entire life. In just one evening, ALF learned what Christmas was really all about.
As an English man, I never rated US comedy shows. But watch ALF since it first aired in the UK and loved it. Even brought some tapes. Never saw this episode until now. Gave me tears and a deep look inside myself as to being a good man. Amazing how tv shows can trigger such serious emotions. Thank you ALF writers ❤️
Aunque no entienda nada de lo que dicen, pero definitivamente esta es una de las escenas más conmovedoras y nostálgicas de esta serie, una de las mejores producciones de los años ochenta. Gracias.
Alf: I have to delegate responsibility to people like you. George: Why me? Alf: Who better than you? Way to go Alf, few words could make someone feel worthy better than that.

I was crying the whole clip! Thanks Alf for existing!
I always loved this scene because it reminds me that there always angels around in even the living and spirit
The whole film is sad when alf sees the dying girl
Happy Holidays, ALF! And let's have that tabby paw pie. 🥧🥧🥧🥧🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️☃️
I still have this episode on a VHS tape! I watched it every single year, as a kid!
