ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

hellraiser7 This show is another childhood gem of mine, it's also another under the radar gem, it was really popular for it's time but as I said for it's time as time went on its became slightly forgotten. It was one of the first comedies/sitcom shows I've ever watched when I was about 7 or 8; it's also kind of one of the first buddy comedies as well. The Buddy cop/comedy genre back in the 80's was a really big thing from films like "Lethal Weapon", "48 Hours", you name it; so, it's no surprise this show would come along.Not much to say really, it's just a simple premise like any buddy comedy on two very different people living together and trying to make it together. I really like both characters they have really good back and forth, both actors Bronson Pinchot and Mark Lynn Baker are really solid it's too bad both didn't have much else afterward. Both characters are well rounded and are easy to emphasize with.Larry (Mark Lynn Baker) he is bit of a workaholic, ambitious but very insecure at the same time. I can emphasize a bit with him because even I'm a bit of a workaholic, and his insecurities at times are something we all feel sometimes, and they really aren't always misplaced some of his insecurities are justified. What I really like about him is how ambitious he is, he's always trying out things or starting up ventures to get more money, get a step up, or whatever else in life. And he does actually win sometimes but what's funny is how he loses sometimes, not just from not having the luck of the draw but just letting his ambition cloud his better judgement or letting things get out of hand.Balki (Bronson Pinchot) is my favorite character, I can sort of emphasize a little with Balka as he's an outsider, he's has sort of childlike sensibilities but what I love about the guy is he's not afraid to be himself, he really puts his home country sensibilities and whatever he loves in life out there. It may seem strange to anyone else, but he honestly doesn't care what anyone else thinks he just want to do his thing. He really is a good for Corson as he really helps bring fun to his life which he probably never has much of and even helps guide him on the right path likewise for Corson sometimes. I really like the theme song which is an honorable mention if favorite themes songs in my book. It's memorable and perfectly reflects the show.And these two just get into all kinds of crazy crap, there are a lot of funny memorable episodes like one where they make a crazy amount of pastries called Biba Badkas which is once again another one of Larry's fast business ventures the results well I won't tell you but it's hilarious. Balki dressing up as a ninja and both Larry and him playful fight which is funny but really addressed the ninja craze back in the 80's. Or one where they are invited to a club but overdo it on the tanning and they look like walking oranges, though to me the highlight was seeing them move which was hilarious as even the smallest and simplest movement is painful.Overall if you're looking for vintage buddy comedies this is a show to check out, it's a perfect good time.Rating: 3 and a half stars

Holly This show ended the year that I turned eleven years old. I was given the seasons one through two DVD for Christmas. I have already watched it and now I am waiting for the rest of the show to become available so that I can see what I loved watching when I was younger and even more these days now that I understand the show better with my being older. (smiles) I pray that it isn't too long of a wait because to me this show is one of the best thats ever been shared with the world! (smiles) God bless you and the awesome four who played Larry, Balki, Jennifer, and Mary Anne always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (age 27) P.S. And yes Balki is my most favorite. How can you not love him? (smiles)

burcuhg Perfect Strangers is unforgettable part of my childhood. Balki Bartokomous in one of the best characters created ever. Neither stupid nor smart. The show was very successful to make us to see the relationship between 2 different personality living together. It was pure fun. No such innocent stories of fun shown in these days. Larry's anger was making us cry while laughing. He was getting angry very fast and cooling down so fast too. Their relation was as perfect marriage, full of fun,anger,jealous and trust. Even they played games to each other sometimes, they fully trust each other in heart. Most of all, at the end of each episode they understand how precious to be friends forever so make you think about the real friends are forever.The most killing parts were the dance scenes of our perfect couple.

fhadzalic IMDb's Series Cast Summary for the TV show Perfect Strangers for Mark Linn Baker and Bronson Pinchot is in error.They are both the stars of the series.unfortunately the new format IMDb has incorporated virtually holes a truck can drive through it.Some series listed ONLY have all the guest stars and non of the stars of a series.Whoever the idiot was, to also list ALL the DAMN guest stars in a given series MUST be NUTS.IMDb needs to go back to it's old format.
