I just received the German ALF DVDs, easily the best EUR 47,05 (US $62.00) I have ever spent. I just went through all of the German episode titles and many of them are very appropriate (more than the song-themed titles).
I was curious if anyone has taken the time to do it.

Re: German episode titles translated
Wow, this is interesting! I like how the names are a little more literal about what the storyline is than our U.S. titles.
Oh Yeah? Well, You're a Wienier!

Great list! I have all of the German titles in my episode guide, but not their English translations. I enjoyed reading through them - thank you for taking the time to type up and share!

Re: German episode titles translated
Glad you liked it. I found that using song titles was something of a novelty that wore thin quickly. The German titles are more appropriate, particularly when they use American references (S4 "Happy Together" becomes "The Odd Couple").
