Guest MrRant Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I remember watching this show when I was younger. I loved it but its not on anywhere anymore. Balky ownz.
Guest BifEverchad Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I remember it! I'm the King of Old 80's Crappy Ass sitcoms! *does the Larry and Balkie dance of joy*
Guest bob_barron Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Balki ruled!! As did the theme song
Guest areacode212 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 This show was really stupid. I thought the first episode was funny when it originally aired (I was 11), but after a few years, I was all "what the hell is this crap?" But I was pretty shocked the first time I ever heard Bronson Pinchot speak without his accent.
Guest Daredevil21 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 That show was good stuff as a kid, but it wasn't as good when I got to see it a couple summers ago when Nick at Nite ran a mini marathon of the show on a Friday. It was one of those shows that I never watched when I was at home, but I watched it everytime I was at my dad's place. Probably since he didn't have cable, which meant no Nickelodeon, which I fuckin lived off of as a kid. That show may have started in the late 80's, but it was also on in the early 90's. How long did it run? For some reason, I'm thinking it started back in 86, but that may be way before it did. Anyone know?
Guest areacode212 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Yeah, I checked IMDB (to verify my age when it started), and it ran from 1986-1993. It seemed like a REALLY long run. By 1991 or so, I couldn't believe that it was still on.
Guest Kinetic Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I remember liking it as a kid, before I developed the ability to distinguish between quality and garbage. The show really took a dive when they moved into that big house, though, damnit.
Guest El Satanico Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "hillo cooousin" Yes i remember Perfect Strangers. I watched it every week when i was i kid. However i wouldn't watch it at all now even if it did start airing in reruns again.
Guest C.H.U.D. Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Perfect Strangers season 1 DVD with Balki commentary, that would be cool.
Guest El Gigante Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 yes this show is great, and its back on TV Land, I saw it on at like 1 in the morning the other day.
Guest Bricks Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I Loved That Show! Especially that episode when someone kidnapped Dimitri the stuffed sheep for ransom. Even today, I think I would enjoy it, but more for the "This is so bad, it's good" mindset instead of the "This is the funniest show ever" mindset I had when I was a kid.
Guest TheDames7 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 And to think.....from this show spawned Family Matters and the phenomenon that became Urkel. Dames
Guest bob_barron Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I watched a Family Matters rerun when the show was really bad- no theme song Laura with short hair It was sooooooo bad. Urkel and Carl usedh is time machine to go back to pirateland or something. I was like- man- that show used to rule
Guest CanadianChris Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 NOW WE ARE SO HAPPY, WE DO THE DANCE OF JOY!
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Laura with short hair = fugly. But, Michelle Thomas was better looking than she was anyway, too bad she's dead now... ::: cries :::
Guest TheDames7 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 She died in a car crash right? She was hot. Dames
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Hmm..I didnt know that. I was surprised the first time I saw the guy that played Urkel (before they did the 2 Steves on the show) in normal clothes, speaking normally and all.. TGIF on ABC was pretty cool..
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 She died in a car crash right? She was hot. Dames Nah Dames, she had stomach cancer.
Guest Retro Rob Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Perfect Strangers used to be on USA in the morning, but it has been off the air for a while now. I used to love that show, although the picture you guys posted does look kind of disturbing.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 you can thank me...later. http://ps.50megs.com/comingup.htm
