Subject: I miss "Perfect Strangers"

Written By: AndrewTalkingWalnut on 01/28/04 at 09:19 a.m.

I used to love that show
Their is a Rumor, I don't know how true it is,
that
Mark Linn Baker(Larry Appleton) will Replace Breckin Meyer, as Jon Arbuckle in the Garfield Movie?
Their is also a Rumor that their is going to be a CGI Odie.

I reallyl liked that show. Especially in the earlier years. I loved the dynamic when they were dating the stewardesses.

Balki Bartockomous was my favorite character on that show.

"Don't be rediculous"! :D ;D

I also liked "Perfect Strangers".  :)
Though it was also the only show from the "T.G.I.F." line up I actually watched.

I always enjoyed "Perfect Strangers."  I wonder if the Balki character was modeled after Andy Kaufman's character, Latka, from "Taxi."
I first saw Bronson Pinchot in "Risky Business," and Mark Linn-Baker in a movie called "My Favorite Year" (1982).  It was funny to see MLB playing a sleazy nightclub owner on "Law & Order" a while back.

Bronson Pinchot was good as Serge in Beverly Hills Cop :)

I think Bronson Pinchot also did a stint on the sitcom Step By Step. But it was at the end of the sitcoms runs, so I don't think it got much play.

P'raps it was the same country Latka was from, a tiny island nation in the Caspian sea.  Latka had to migrate because his country sank!

Perfect Strangers is one of my favorite shows. I think It's one the best sitcoms ever, great physical comedy. It was on the Nick At Nite schedule most of last year but they stopped airing it for some reason and brought in Full House and Roseanne. Roseanne??? Come on Nick At Nite you can choose some better shows than that.

Full House stinks, but I love Roseanne.  Why? It's a blue collar household with an afghan on the sofa.  All their problems aren't solved in 23 minutes, and it's not a nagging homily like Cosby.  It's not my favorite sit-com, but it sure is funny!
I'd like to see Perfect Strangers on Nick, and no more Cosby, pleeeeze NO MORE COSBY!!

I Loved the Television show. It was 2 cousins that acted more like best friends. I miss it like crazy. Anyway I just wanted to comment that Larry would make a great John Arbuckle.

Mark Linn Baker did that one episode of "Hangin With Mr. Cooper" in the mid 90's. That was a funny episode too.

 Anyone of you notice that they composite the city of Chicago so that in the opening it looks like they come right out of the subway up to the street and there's Wrigley field across the street!
I went there in 2000 and my friend thought I was crazy because that corner has Never looked like that. Actually,The train goes overhead, and it made me crazy that how they showed it wasn't real ???

My favorite thing that they used to do was "the dance of joy"
Now I'm so happy i do the dance of Joy, I can remember what they sang but can't think of how to write it.  ??? ;D
