Primary
The film (TV show) is a family sitcom primarily focused on comedic situations arising from an alien living with a suburban family. While it features themes of accepting the 'other' and mild government skepticism, these are balanced by a strong emphasis on traditional family values and are presented as plot devices rather than explicit ideological statements, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features primarily traditional casting with a white, mainstream family as its central human characters. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, consistent with a family sitcom, and does not incorporate explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The television series 'ALF' does not contain any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. As a product of its time and genre, the show's narrative scope did not include such portrayals, resulting in no net impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
