"Really," said Batthew Merry, TV Draft Specialist, "It's about value. Yeah, Homer Simpson is an icon. He's consistent, you know what you're getting with him. But you gotta figure, the bumbling and clueless dad character is at least 15 deep. But you look at the best friend category. How many of those guys are also legitimate Funny Men? That's why I'm telling you, go Alf. He's not a sexy choice, but the fact of the matter is that you can plug him in at 3, potentially 4 categories and he's a proven winner. Homer, he's just Homer, but Alf, he's an alien."
