Small puppet dragon moves in with a family

[Saucerman]

This was a movie or short-lived TV show from the end of the 80s or early 90s -- my memories of it date to around the time I was 3 or 4.  We had taped it, or a couple episodes of it, and I watched the tape repeatedly. 

The title sequence involved this young, anthropomorphic dragon (represented by a puppet) waking up, flying out of his cave, getting struck by lightning and crashing to earth.  He's found and taken in by a family, and there was a theme song, very 80s pop sounding if I'm remembering correctly, that had the line "we've got all the time in the world"

The dragon was very precocious, dressing in human clothes and basically acting like a scaly version of ALF.  As I recall, the dragon's hunger was a running gag -- I very specifically remember a line where he comments that he's hungry enough to eat a porcupine.  When the father of the family asks about this, the dragon says, "You have to eat it head-first."

The human family reminded me of Full House for some reason -- it might have just been that it was a family sitcom, and Full House was the only other show of that type I was familiar with at the time. 

Any ideas?

Possibly "Scorch" from 1992.

I just remembered Ron Lucas had a show in Britain where one of his main puppets was a small dragon and looked him up on google.
