This has been bugging me for quite some time..

I'm really trying to remember the title of a certain show. Here are some clues for anyone who knows:

1. Made in early '90s, but there's a slight possibility it was made in the late '80s.
2. Seemed like an ALF ripoff.
3. Puppet character was a pig with orange hair, blue eyes, and I'm almost certain he had a plaid shirt.
4. At one part of the theme song, there are the lyrics "Come on in, ain't no body here but me!"'

I suggest scrolling through www.jumptheshark.com and seeing if you can find the show listed. I don't remember what show you're talking about, but I almost guarentee if I saw a picture, repressed memories would start to surface.

Sounds familiar, but I don't have a clue as to what it is.

Well, I looked through the whole list, and I didn't find it. Probably because I don't know what I'm looking for.

This may be way off, but apparently there was some show in that timeframe that had Alf-like humor and has been called an Alf ripoff. It was called "Scorch the Dragon," and he had orange hair, and a snout that could look like a pig's if you have fuzzy memories. The creator's name is Ronn Lucas, I think. As for those lyrics, there's some song that has that title.

Well here's a Scorch page from Ronn Lucas' website. Like I said, I could be wrong, but it seemed to fit some of the criteria.

I thought it could have been Scorch. I scrolled through henson.com, through all the various TV shows they have puppeteered on.

Ya think that's it, Stone?

Oh, that's not him. I mentioned he had a plaid shirt, which I believe was blue. And he was living in a family, and the dad was fat.

Apparently so:

1) First episode = premiere, Scorch is introduced, the dad starts to use him as his "dummy" on the news...

2) Second episode = Scorch is afflicted with the "Dreaded Dragon Flu"

3) Third episode = Newsguy's boss is jealous of his inferior's fame, so he steals Scorch...Scorch scares him while he's sleepling, gives him back to newsguy...

Sorry, I didn't bother looking at the links, so tell me if I'm re-hashing what's on them.

I think I remeber that guy. I swear I saw him and a few other puppets on a commidey special once. They were all in a guys dressing room before the stand up started. I think it was the same guy that stared in the show.

But it was a very long time ago so I might be thinking of something else
