Pitchforks and torches down, people.

I think we can all put aside our differences for what will certainly be a glorious segment of television:

[O’Reilly debates Gordon Shumway](http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/11/30/tonights-must-see-tv-bill-oreilly-debates-alf-video/).

I’ll be watching it. Let’s see Mr. O’Reilly argue with our old friend from Melmac.

Oh, right, Alf. I got Gordon Chumway and Irwin Mainway confused, and thought O’Reilly was going to be interviewing Dan Aykroyd’s corrupt toy manufacturer from his old SNL days.

Which would be a hell of a lot funnier than anything that muppet’s going to say, I’m willing to bet.

Whaaaa? Alf? Why not interview Vickie from Small Wonder for all the good that will do. Please tell me this is not the harbinger of future Alf foistings.

Personally, I’m waiting for what ALF’s body language will tell us about what he’s _really_ thinking.
