I think when ALF tried to pitch an idea was an inside joke of how NBC initially rejected the idea of ALF, but decided to make a pilot just to see if it were worth it.
excellent episode. tartikoff was played by himself by the way. especially funny given how nowadays people do have these huge save-the-show campaigns, contacting millions of people, and how playing with ratings is considered normal.
this one fits together well with the soap episode where alf is a writer. you can tell the writers here really drew on real life experiences, there is truth in their gentle mockery of tv's ratings-worship, even when the numbers are clearly wrong (e.g. as with ST:TOS)

imagine what Alf would be like today like if they continued or showed him in 2010. What would he do with knowledge of the internet? O__O
