Hopefully Someone Here Knows The Name Of This Other Show

Ok, I remember that Duckman (which is a show I loved watching) use to come on USA. It came on like a half hour before or after this other show I liked watching, but I can't remember its name.

It was about this group of aliens that looked like puppets that were stranded on Earth somehow and they stayed with this guy who used them as puppets in his comedy news show.

There was one that would yell "bite me" alot and one that was hungry all the time.

Anybody remember the name of the show?

Nah, the only thing on the show that wasn't human (as in real) were the puppet looking aliens. It was a live action show

hi. perhaps you're thinking of mystery theatre 3000? it had puppets in it, but i never watched it that much

[–] TheColossalAvenger 20 years ago

Nah that's not it, I love that show and is for sure not it.

Let me try and see if I can remember anymore details.

- The aliens were in a group of about 6-8

- The female of the group was in love with the human guy.

- The aliens slash puppets were human like (though they were obviously made out of puppet stuff, like the Muppets)

- When I say used as puppets, they were tricking people into thinking they were actually puppets.

Not only do I know the name of it....I was a staff writer on that show. "LOST ON EARTH" was the title.

And yes, your memory of the details is quite accurate, Darth. I believe "Ahab" was the name of the puppet who yelled "Bite me!"

(I still see those puppets in my sleep)
