Scorch (TV series)

Scorch is an American television sitcom that aired on CBS in 1992, and was canceled after three episodes were broadcast.

The title character, a miniature dragon, is a puppet that was used by ventriloquist Ronn Lucas before the series came to be; although Lucas never actually appeared in the series, he did supply Scorch's voice.

Premise
Scorch, a small 1,300-year-old dragon, awakens from a 100-year sleep in 1992. While flying around, he's struck by lightning and he crash-lands in front of the apartment of Brian Stevens (Jonathan Walker) and his daughter Jessica (Rhea Silver-Smith). The next day, as a result of awkward circumstances, Brian lands a job as a TV weatherman at New Haven, Connecticut television station WWEN-TV by pretending that he's a ventriloquist and Scorch is his puppet; no one except Brian and Jessica knows that Scorch is a real dragon.

Episodes
Six episodes were made, but only three were aired.
