Perfect Strangers TV Show

[outstandinfarmer]

What ever happened to that show? It was HILARIOIUS!!! Larry and Belke. I search for it all the time to see if they are bringing it back on TV, but I never see it. I'm waiting for Nick at Nite to bring it on, but instead they bring back things like Wings, which I do not enjoy one teeny little bit.

Also Punky Brewster. That would be nice too.

Oh I use to love that show!

It's been syndicated recently in our area, comes on sometime in the morning. My husband and I watched it within the last year. Sorry, can't remember what channel. Great show!

FANTASTIC show ... one of my favorites! Remember the episode where Balky Bartokimus was named head of his home country and they sent him the crown in the mail? What was the name of that country again?

I loved that show! I heard Bronson Pinochet (sp??) , Balke, does theater now? Anyone know if that's true?

I seem to remember seeing it shown on Nick at Nite at one point. Not before midnight, though; I'm thinking it was on at 3:30 AM or something like that.

I loved the show too. In a way I wish Nick at Nite would get off this kick of showing two episodes of a show back to back and increase the number of different series each night. As it is, they show The Cosby Show 10-11 and then 12-1. Gets old after a while.

I think that is true about him doing theater. He was in something that I saw just recently, can't remember what it was though.

My favorite episode was the one where Cousin Larry was trying to teach him to drive by using fruit as the pedals in the living room. When they finally went out on the road, of course, Balki hits something and Larry was angry. Balki says, "You told me to hit the grae-ip-froo-it, hit the grae-ip-froo-it, so I hit the grae-ip-froo-it!"

I know I am spelling everything wrong, but Balky was from Mepose.

It was on Nick at Nite for a while! When my 2nd ds was born he had his days & nights mixed up, so I watched a LOT of Nick at Nite last Aug/Sept. But, then Nick started showing crap like Roseanne & Full House instead.

You know what show I want them to show? Silver Spoons!! I loved me some little Ricky Schroeder!

I loved Perfect Strangers. I agree get rid of Wings and Cheers and put some new stuff on . I loved when they had Wonder Years on. Used to be on around 3:30 a.m. when my ds has first born. Almost made getting up at that hour bearable . Punky and Silver Spoons would be great too.

Remember the one where Balki could use "sheepherders' instinct" to predict the outcome of football games? When the Bills and the Chargers were playing, Balki knew the Bills would win, because "You can charge all you want, but sooner or later you have to pay the bills!"

I don't know why nowdays the networks think you can't have an enjoyable, hilarious show without putting sleaze into it. Perfect Strangers was squeaky clean and my whole family loved it!

A big thumbs up for Perfect Strangers show from me!! I used to laugh so hard. Loved Belke doing the "dance of joy" too!

My friend used to work on that show & so I got to go to the studio frequently for the tapings. It was even more fun in person. They all had such a nice rapport with each other. It was fun.

I too have heard that Bronson Pinchot is doing theatre now. I'm sure he's very good at it too. (Also loved him in Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy.) What ever happened to Cousin Larry though? I have never seen him since that show.

yes, he's currently in "sly fox" with Richard Dreyfus. and I saw Mark Linn-baker in "frog and Toad" last year.

My favorite episode was when they had that alarm installed in their apartment and it all of a sudden shot out lazers everywhere and they were going to self destruct in 10 seconds, or something like that.

I agree, I like Cosby Show, but I'm so tired of it I could spit. Also, no more Cheers and Wings.

I remember that episode.

There actually was a Laverne and Shirly episode which was very similiar as well.
