"Perfect Strangers" (1986) "Of course I do, don't be ridiculous!"
 

Didn't see a thread for this in the thread guide so I thought I would make one. If I'm wrong, feel free to close it mods :)

Synopsis: Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot), a sheepherder from the small Mediterranean Greek-like island of Mypos, travels to the United States in search of his relatives. He finds his cousin, Larry Appleton (Mark Lynn Baker) - who has recently 'escaped' from his large-sized family and is reveling in the unaccustomed luxury of having his own room to himself. They end up sharing accommodation in Larry's apartment - even though the two cousins could not be more dissimilar. For, while Larry is panicky, hyperventilative, business-like and mercenary - Balki is placid, unharried, sunny-natured and idealistic.

I loved this show. Who else does?


If anyone wants me to make a fan list, let me know :)

I loved it, too :D

I love this show. It premiered before I was born and I was 1-4 when it was on when I was born so I had no idea what it was, but a few years ago I caught the re-run's on NickatNite and loved it since I love everything 80's. I especially love the theme song and opening credits especially the second version for some reason. I really want to get the show on dvd so I can watch more of it.

Me too.

It's just so hilarious. I love Balki :)

Oh this was a good show! Thanks for the thread

Me too, but right now I don't remember it.

I use to watch this show on a ritual basis. I loved this show. My mom use to think that I was crazy when I used to watch it on TGIF every week. It was one of my favorite indulgences along with Full House and some of the other family shows.

My dad used to watch it with me. lol

Great show. I love the "Dance of Joy". I also loved the episode where Balki groveled to Larry and then Larry had to grovel back to Balki "I am dirt...I am the sweat of a pig."

:lmao: The dance of joy was the best!!
