Omg!!! I remember this!! I remember some of the scenes and for years I've been trying to remember what it was..... thanks so much for posting this! I never realized it was about drugs, either (I know that they specifically say it's about drugs, but I guess when you're really young you don't really listen to half of what people are saying on tv.. I know I didn't.....). I remember not really caring that the piggy bank was taken lol.... I specifically remember the first scene between Alf and Garfield. I always thought this was actually a Christmas special (don't ask..)
I'm VERY SURE I have this on tape some place, because I remember putting it on when I wanted to watch it..
[edit] Okay, tell me this doesn't sound familiar:
The brother's name is Michael. The sister asks what's wrong with his eyes. He says nothing, and puts on shades.
Lost Boys, anyone?
And I love that one kid's tail lol...
