Gayest Episode Ever ALF Never Did a Gay Episode
"We Are Family" (May 2, 1988)
Finally, at long last, ALF! This is the first in a new series where Drew and Glen discuss shows that never did a gay episode. "But wait, Drew and Glen! You have done episodes that weren't explicitly gay before," you may be saying. This is true, but at the very least we could pretend that the writer maybe-kinda-sorta had some gay metaphor in mind. This new series is for all the shows that never even treaded that far, but we think there's something to talk about anyway. In this episode, ALF contemplates coming out as an alien, even if going public might poses risks to his personal liberties. Sandy Duncan does and does not make a cameo.

This episode's outro track is "Hallo ALF, Hier ist Rhonda" by Tommi Piper with Amélie Sandmann, which is perhaps not surprisingly unavailable on all the American streaming services.
