The Tanner Family(Left to Right) Willie, Lynn, Kate, and Brian
The Tanner family is the family whose garage ALF crashed his spaceship in the ALF TV series pilot episode A.L.F.. Since the crash the Tanner family has been both hiding and protecting ALF from the Alien Task Force, a military organization that hunts down extra terrestrial aliens on Earth. The family consists of the social worker Willie, his wife Kate, their children Lynn and Brian, and their cat Lucky. In the third season finale episode, Having My Baby, a new member of the family was born, Eric. Although the exact date of Willie and Kate's wedding is unknown, they do celebrate their 22nd wedding anniversary in the 4th season, implying that they were married in 1968.
The Tanners reside at 167 Hemdale in Los Angeles, California. They own a 1982 Ford station wagon. Their next door neighbors are the Ochmoneks.
In Project: ALF, it is revealed that the Tanners were relocated by the Federal Witness Protection Program after the capture of ALF by the Alien Task Force. They first moved to Mozambique but relocated to Rekjavik because they were displeased with the school system.
