Unfortunately, it's syndicated, but it's definitely in the correct order so far.

When I first heard that ALF was on the Hub channel, I was astonished and excited because that show is every child's that grew up watching that show from mid 80s to early 90s favorite non animated family series. But of course my mother didn't understand the show much so it didn't interest her very much. There was another show that appeared in the 90s with a talking rabbit puppet I don't remember the title of the show but the theme song was called " Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more!" I thought that it was a ALF show wannabe really considering the fact that the rabbit puppet wisecracked as well. :roll:

I think the show you're referring to is Unhappily Ever After. It was more of a married With Children rip off than an Alf one. There was a show with a Dragon puppet, Scorch, that was the real Alf rip off. It only lasted a few episodes before being pulled from the air.

Unhappy ever after, I see, yeah I hated that show it wasn't even that funny, let a known entertaining to my eyes.

In the 90s there was a show called Scorch ( I think ) that was about a dragon living with a human family. It only lasted a couple episodes before it was pulled from the air. Not much information on it exists online.

[imitating gun sound] "ak-ak-ak-ak-ak."
Willie: He'd shoot a person because he didn't like his shoes?
ALF: No. He'd just point at you and go, "Ak-ak-ak-ak-ak."

Yeah just took a gleams at it. That really is a lame show no wonder it was pulled, it's not very funny. Just a green scaley 130 year old Dragon wannabe.

Exactly, I love both shows. Really hope Unhappily Ever After gets a release on DVD soon.
