ALF

Running Scared - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: After Trevor shows Kate and Willie the house for sale sign, Alf is in the kitchen talking into a tape recorder about being blackmailed. There are soda cans to Alf's right next to the recorder and one can of root beer on its side just above the recorder. When it cuts to Kate and Willie walking into the kitchen, the downed can has been moved, and the red can of cola is gone. After Kate says "And it wasn't my mother, either", there's a close up of Alf and the cans are back. (00:04:25 - 00:07:05)

For Your Eyes Only - S1-E6

Character mistake: During the radio show, the radio host gives the radio station's phone number as 555-4455, Alf then softly repeats the number back before he gets to the phone. He then picks up the headset and dials a number, but the numbers he presses on the phone don't match up to the number given by the radio station. (00:04:10)

Keepin' the Faith - S1-E5

Question: When Al is holding a stack of towels, the Tanners say that he is "carrying towels through the damp." What does that mean?

Answer: Mr Tanner actually asks Alf, "Why are you carrying our towels through the den?" The streaming subtitles are wrong when it substitutes "damp" for "den" twice. It's possible the error originated from the VHS or DVD, which occurs often.

Super Grover

Yes, I was re-watching episodes, and I heard "den" the next time. Thank you for answering, though.
