It was one thing when ALF was a puppet interacting with humans. His gimmick was he was supposed to be from another planet. More than a decade later, Nickelodeon decided on an urban, more human version.
In fact, DisneyXD's current Crash & Bernstein wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Cousin Skeeter, which predates Crash by about 15 years or so. The concepts are incredibly similar. Puppet character is passed off as human, has wacky misadventures, etc..
Skeeter (ex-MTV VJ Bill Bellamy) lives with his cousin Bobby (Robert Ri'chard) and his family, but where this gets off the grid is the claim that Skeeter actually knows some famous people, such as rapper MC Lyte. The series was co-created by actor-turned-producer Brian Robbins (ex-Head of the Class), who was developing several diverse series for Nick at the time.
Here's the intro:
I just could never warm up to this show.
