"Great"

By Baycityrookie, Aug 05, 2008

This is a fun episode of Alf. In the 1st part of this 2 parter, Alf become trapped in the neighbors house with Police and SWAT team surrounding the home. I enjoy the 2nd part of this episode, because Alf is trapped. All Alf was trying to do was help, but he knows no one can find him or he will be taken away by the police and handed over to the government most likely. Alf is funny in the house, playing himself as a bad guy and playing the voices of his "hostages", although he has none. Willie is good in the episode because he is trying desperately to save Alf without having anything happen to him. Willie shows his true heart by running into the house without the Police stopping him. Willie then gets Alf back to the house safe and soundly. Overall I give this episode an 8 out of 10.moreless

ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Mrs. Byrd says at one point in her frustration because of perceived ineptitude with the police, "I'm going to Gary Hart!" She's alluding to the lawyer and politician who ran for presidential election in 1984 and in 1988 on the democratic ticket.
  EDIT SHARE
- Willie asks how Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ended. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 western about a couple of bank robbers. The end of the movie has them surrounded and ready to be gunned down.
  EDIT SHARE
- ALF asks Willie is he's seen Dog Day Afternoon. Dog Day Afternoon is a 1975 movie about a bank robbery and hostage situation which ends badly for the culprits.
