#alf lore

Kate has a blue dress that Gordon is able to wear. Gordon does not believe that blue is a color that suits him despite looking fabulous in it.

Brian attends Franklin Elementary School.

There is a random Paul Fusco cameo in the crowd scene at the Nutrition Follies (seen below, bottom left corner). However, it can only be seen in the original broadcast version of the episode.

The Nutrition Follies takes place on a Thursday night at 7:00 PM.

Gordon was once in a dinner theatre production of "Man Of La Mancha" back on Melmac. He played the role of Sancho Panza. During the opening night of the production, Gordon seized up with stage fright and forgot the lyrics to the opening number. The audience was apparently hostile and began to throw breadsticks at him. The actor playing Don Quixote in the production pulled Gordon aside and gave him a good luck charm - the actor's 124 year molar. The tooth helped Gordon get through his number, along with "The Impossible Dream", the rest of the show's setlist, and an encore featuring a couple songs from "Gypsy".

All this said, we learn that Gordon is canonically a theatre kid.

Gordon's mother's maiden name was Gordon.

This is the first episode in which the Tanners, specifically Brian, learn that ALF's real name is Gordon.

Gordon prefers to eat salmon with the head. To him, throwing away the head is absurd. Also, apparently the Tanners have a rule that Gordon cannot eat boned salmon in the living room.
