{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Yuppie and the Alien''}}
'''Yuppie and the Alien''' is a television show advertised in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], shown on [[VBC]]. A parody poking fun at both 80's police drama series [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Vice Miami Vice] and friendly alien comedy series ALF. The show is possibly also a reference to the movie and/or series Alien Nation, although it is probably also an allusion to the fantastical "do-gooder" shows of the eighties in general (e.g.: Automan, Manimal, Knight Rider, The Powers of Matthew Star, et al). It cannot be watched by the player. [[Mr. Magic]], the DJ on [[Wildstyle]], detests the show.
