"When the Tanners become part of the new Thompson Rating System, ALF rigs the ratings in order to prevent his favorite show, Polka Jamboree, from being cancelled."

The Tanners go TV tonto for the second time in a month as the writing staff have a lot of fun sending up broadcasting tropes, including the actual Head of Programming at NBC who is played here by someone oddly familiar.

To help us tiptoe through the tube bits we have an expert in the field who loves his archive telly so much he's just written the definitive book on the subject. You can pre-order Tim's book "The Golden Age of Children's TV" from Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Golden-Age-Childrens-TV/dp/1785306405

...unless its ages into the future then just regular order it.
