Puppet alien of TV

Answer:

ALF

Hint:

This sarcastic, cat-loving extraterrestrial crashed on Earth in the 1980s and lived with a suburban family while hiding from the government.

Explanation:

This clue refers to ALF, the sarcastic, furry alien from the 1980s sitcom ALF, where he’s a puppet character who crash-lands on Earth. The word "puppet" hints at his physical form—a hand-operated puppet—while "alien" and "TV" directly point to his role as an extraterrestrial on the show. It’s a straightforward reference, with no hidden wordplay, just a nod to a well-known pop culture figure.
