Dear VHS Man.

I have a few different sets of The Alf series on VHS. Haven't looked at them in years and no longer have a VCR or VHS player. We may be able to work something out if you can produce unedited DVDs from these tapes.
Contact me for more info.

Alf Collector.

Hi,

If you mean the un-syndicated episodes, they are available on DVD sets from Germany. (Don't worry, they are in English)
You can find them here:
https://www.amazon.de/Alf-Die-komplette ... B009P4URJG


If you mean the actual raw footage from the filmings, we don't have much of it, but here's some of what we do have:

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for

If we are in America, do we need a separate amazon account to order the unedited episodes. Now if they have the unedited of Quantum Leap, that would be a killer!

I have a question about the german version of ALF DVDS. I own this version and I can't find varsity drag on the german DVD. It should be the last episode on season 2. I see it listed in the booklet that comes with the DVD but when I go to find it, it just doesn't seem to exist has anyone else found this to be the case? If it is somehow on there any idea where.

That´s the case! The german Blu-Rays of 2020 have all episodes uncut and with all original music restored.

German blu rays ? Must have missed this ! Or are they the Shout ! ones I saw mentioned in another thread ?

Will have to look into this set, as I have the normal DVD`s, but I kind of like how they look, and similar to how I originally saw it back in the 80`s.

There are no Blu-Rays of ALF. The german DVDs you have are the only ones, I have them too. Shout! Factory released the whole series last October, but these are DVDs too. As Shout! Factory is an american company, europeans like the two of us need a region free player to play them. Besides the animated episodes and the film, this set includes the few scenes that are missing in the german set.

The confusion came because I was answering to a post where somebody wished to have a satisfying set of Quantum Leap and I recommended the german set of Blu-Rays.

Thanks for posting that ! I see what you meant now, and it was my fault, and I read it wrong !

Are there edited versions of Quantum Leap out there ? I`ve only seen a few episodes, so not sure if they`ve been cut or
are the originals, and I think there`s quite a lot of music in the episodes I`ve watched, so I might have seen the uncut ones.

I don't know if there were scenes cut, but the american DVDs had all songs replaced, because of legal issues. As the laws here are different, the Blu-Rays from Germany contain every song that was in an episode when it first aired.

I thought it might have been something to do with music, as in certain ALF episodes.

It`s so annoying how many old shows now can`t be sold as they were, due to these copyright claims.
