"Turkey in the Straw" was never a huge favorite of mine, but it sure is enjoyable. I think my favorite scene is when ALF and Willie just sit there going, "ALF?!"..."WILLIE?!" and then the whole family runs in, and he keeps calling them all "Willie." It always cracks me up!

Watched these 2 episodes last night, and the chap who`s working with Sgt Fox, and who wants to watch the game, seems
to be missing from the credits at the end, and doesn`t seem to be listed on imdb either.

I thought it was Meshach Taylor, who played an Alien Task Force agent in an earlier episode, and was surprised not to see his name appear.

Maybe it wasn`t him, and I`m being a dummy ?!
