"Jake has a crush on a girl at school named Laura but cannot express his feelings. ALF, inspired by the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, ghostwrites love letters for Jake."

Its time for proclamations of love from the lad with the big snout - yes Cyrano de Melmac is let loose on the emotions of a teenage boy...and it might actually work? There's even a guest star who went on to be quite famous! Your hosts Ben Baker and John Matthews are in the bushes with their binoculars scoping all the action. But whats new?

"An extortionist threatens to turn ALF in to the immigration authorities for being an illegal alien."

Its a high stakes adventure as ALF shifts into being the paranoid sci-fi thriller it always could've been with a suprisingly suspenseful tale that could still play strongly in the modern climate. Ben Baker and John Matthews are in the middle of it with one of those big conspiracy boards covered in string trying to put together the pieces.

"When Raquel plans a surprise baby shower for Kate, one of the neighbours brings her baby to the party. Meanwhile, ALF has an allergic reaction to a baby and tries to move in with Jake."

Oh hey, Kate is pregnant! We'd forgotten being as the previous five episodes failed to mention it once. If you wanted to see an episode of "ALF" which was not very much about ALF and more about babies, this is the episode for you. As for Ben Baker and John Matthews...well, you'll have to listen and see what they thought yourselves.
