Setting
This show is a prequel to the live action sitcom ALF, depicting ALF's life back on his home planet of Melmac. Since the original character's name of "ALF" was an acronym for "Alien Life Form", is never used in the animated series except for its title. The main character is Gordon Shumway who is normally referred to as "Gordon". In almost every episode a live action ALF appears at the introduction and conclusion of the episode; reading fan mail and saying that this show is a response to a huge demand of people wanting to know what his life was like on Melmac.

The format of the series has the standard setup of a situational comedy, or sitcom, as its premise, in the style of The Flintstones or The Jetsons and it predates The Simpsons which has a similar family arrangement of two parents, three children and a dog. Much of the humor arises from the characters taking part in ordinary everyday activities set in an alien and surrealistic environment.

Gordon/ALF from this series is one of the cartoon characters featured in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.

Plot
Gordon Shumway is a fairly normal teenager living with his parents Bob and Flo, brother Curtis, young sister Augie and their dog Neep on the planet Melmac. He spends time hanging out with his friends Rick and Skip who call him "Gordo", and he has a girlfriend named Rhonda. The show includes an array of quirky supporting characters, which include the fortune smeller Madame Pokipsi and the villain, Larson Petty with his offsider Eggbert.

Article
The anime series of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is based on the manga written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1987 to 2002, before being transferred to the monthly seinen magazine Ultra Jump in 2004.

The series can be broken into two distinct parts, an OVA and four major televisions series. Each follows a different descendant of the protagonist of the first part on different quests.

The OVAs
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険) is an original video animation adaptation of Hirohiko Araki's manga series of the same name, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Produced by A.P.P.P. (Another Push Pin Planning), it was adapted from the series' third part, Stardust Crusaders.

The first six episodes were originally released from 1993 to 1994, adapting the latter half of the story arc. This set of episodes begins with Jotaro Kujo and his companions in the middle of their quest to find Dio Brando, offering very little exposition to the back-story that led to the present events of the OVA.

The second season, consisting of seven episodes, were released from 2000 to 2002, adapting the beginning of the story arc that featured the circumstances that led to Jotaro's quest.
