The Professor Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I saw this online today and it was too hard not to post here. Balki Bartokomous and Cousin Larry of "Perfect Strangers" reunited for the first time in 25 years! Who remembers Balki and Cousin Larry? "Perfect Strangers" debuted in 1986 and was the first show on ABC's Friday Night TGIF lineup. It would also serve as the basis for a spinoff show, "Family Matters" better known to some as Urkel. The show was akin to a Yakov Smirnoff act or a proto-Borat, with Balki leaving his Eastern European / Mediterranean island of Mepos for a new life in Chicago, where he shows up unexpectedly one day at the door of Cousin Larry, and the two eventually end up working at the Chicago Chronicle. From 106.7 Lite FM: Balki and Cousin Larry of "Perfect Strangers" Reunite For The First Time In 25 Years Bronson Pinchot & Mark Linn-Baker stopped by Lite FM for their first interview together in 25 years http://litefm.iheart.com/onair/the-bob-and-christine-morning-show-4874/balki-and-cousin-larry-of-perfect-15759112/ ...and here are some clips of their funnier moments: Starbuck66, StormSurge, greenween and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 It was a fun and silly show. They both look good. Cheers. greenween, Rowsdower70 and The Professor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Adventure Square Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Watched Beverly Hills Cop this week. I think Pinchot broke out and was discovered in that small role as a major comedy character actor and went on to Perfect Strangers shortly after. It's good to see them like this, today. True, there were some fun, goofy TV comedies on those days. Rowsdower70 and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
