UnowPriceless hyped garbage

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

zfiany I have watched all sitcoms specially the old ones when I was a kid : mind your language, three's a company, taxi, and perfect strangers. And I know all the new ones but my favorite of all time is Jerry Seinfeld and right next to it is Perfect Strangers. This show used to make me laugh a lot specially the classical line "Something khorrible khas khappened". Those who used to watch the show will know what exactly I am talking about. There was this one special episode which I still remember vividly despite the long time when both Balki and Lari lose an important key and Lari , if I am not mistaken, tries to search for the key in the body of a dead man in the coffin open in front of a crowd of people. So he enters his hand in the deadman's pocket while pretending to deliver a eulogy and he says loud the "Key" and then he realizes that he said it loud and continues : the key to heaven is ,,,,, This is one of the unforgettable scenes in this special show. It's too bad that paramount comedy channel doesn't play this one although they play old ones that are not as good as it.

ellis072280-1 I was 5 years old when this show debut & watching it with my grandmother is one of the few memories I have of her before she passed away. I continued to watch until I was 10 years old. At that age any sitcom is funny, but a year back I watched a 'Perfect Strangers' marathon on Nick at Night & I have to say even now the show was still fairly enjoyable for what it was, though it was tainted for me whenever I watched Bronson Pinchot on the Surreal Life. Who knew that guy was such a creep and when Janice Dickenson gave her 'Get it' confessions of her childhood troubles which she completely ripped off from Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, when Bronson acted as if he had broken down from her tales of molestation was the worst piece of dramatic acting since Cindy Crawford's performance in Fair Game. Never the less, if you were a fan of the show in the 80's, even if you were too young to understand what good comedy was you should take a look at it again as an adult, you will be surprised that it is still a decent show even by todays standards.

strange_fruit What can I say, except that those were the days! They really don't make it like this anymore-wholesome, scripted comedy, that people of all ages can appreciate.I have been watching this show since I was around 7 years old, and in my experience, it has only gotten better with age. As a youngster, I think I enjoyed it because of the character of Balki-the naive sheepherder from a small developing island, faced with a massive culture shock when he arrives unexpectedly at the door of his distant cousin, Larry. I laughed along as Balki was dazzled by Western technology, taught Larry his bizarre Myposian rituals, made endless failed attempts at popular American sayings, and had his good nature taken advantage of time and time again. I must admit that at the time, Larry was just a character that was around so Balki could exist, and I really took little notice of him. But now that I am older, it is Balki that has begun to fade into the background. The character of Larry seems kind of straightforward-an average guy in his mid 20s who, despite himself, comes to learn many life lessons from his eccentric cousin. I would have thought they could have gotten any old actor to play someone like that, but now I see that I was wrong. Mark Linn Baker is subtly brilliant as Larry Appleton. He portrays Larry's neurotic, on-edge personality, without becoming tacky and predictable in his mannerisms. And despite being "the normal one", his use of physical comedy is hilarious. The 2 lead actors bounce off each other perfectly, and make this show work.This show is pure fun, but also made a nice statement about morality, which made you care about the 2 lead characters. At the age of 20, I still shed a tear when Balki moves back to Mypos and he and Larry have to say goodbye. And when Jennifer accepts Larry's unrehearsed marriage proposal, over the proposal her new attractive, wealthy boyfriend. And I still laugh when I see Larry and Balki sneaking into Jennifer and Maryanne's apartment at night to swap Jennifer's engagement ring, fix up a house and accidentally get stuck in a chandelier, or dancing to the reworded limbo rock as they attempt to bake 3,000 "Bippy Bobkas".As a disclaimer, I must warn that this show isn't exactly high-brow, to say the least. The story lines are often far from believable, the dialogue isn't always as funny as the raucous canned laughter would have you believe, and a "straight guy meets wacky guy" comedy isn't exactly cutting edge. But in all honesty-so what? This show may not be the height of intellectual viewing, but when you're just looking for a show to veg out in front of and forget your troubles for half an hour, then look no further. This show always leaves you with a smile on your face, and is a refreshing change from the myriad of recycled reality shows they beam to us at every opportunity.Since this show was cancelled, a lot of shows have come and gone that I have loved for various reasons, but I have yet to find another sitcom that can hold the flame to this one. I prey that they will release this series on DVD. And if not, then I hope the reruns I recorded back in the 90s will last long enough for me to show to my children.
