Great episode where we got to see Kate's mother for the first of several times throughout the series. I really like the Dorothy character and kind of wish we'd see more of her. The episodes she's in may not be some of the best of the series but her interaction with ALF gave us some very memorable lines between them.

My favorite part of this episode is probably when Kate brings ALF his dinner in the garage. and he starts to devour it like there's no tomorrow. That scene really cracks me up.

I give this episode a strong 4.

I love when Dorothy kept poking ALF when he was talking and he glared at her and said, "Will you stop poking me?" and that they couldn't continue the conversation if she was getting touchy-feely. ROFL!

Hahahaha! That's probably my favorite part of this episode! I think it's great.
