Perfect Strangers (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Perfect-Strangers-Season-1-Season-2-Press-Release/8287) The 1980's sitcom where a strange foreign guy from an imaginary third world country comes to stay with an uptight city guy, who gets his tie caught in some sort of machine. I remember that episode vividly as a child.

Figures... just as the sitcom hits ion do they finally decide to release this.

I'll have to let a friend of mine know about this.

He was a fan of this show if I remember the discussion about fav tv shows as children correctly, where I was not.

I remember Perfect Strangers. Those two guys cracked me up. I remember an episdoe where Larry told Balki he was afraid of the dark, and Balki kept denying it and switching the light on.

I love this show!

And now, we do the dance of joy!! *dances*




Hehe, I always loved the 'Dance of Joy'.


EDIT:

Aside from featuring 28 episodes, the DVD set with also include a clip montage featuring the "Dance of Joy," a very popular recurring element of the series.

Double woo!!

Yeah, I remember the "Dance of Joy" that the two did. It was funny. I wish they showed this show on ABC Family.

Speaking of sitcoms, Charles in Charge is finally getting its second season out. Did anyone watch that show? I don't remember it too well. Was it entertaining at all?

Yeah. 2 episodes of Mama's Family and 2 episodes of Menopausal...err...Designing women. That's a huge disappointment. On the other hand, I have an excuse to buy this now.

Rewatching it, I really think Balki became just more than a knockoff of Latka from Taxi. Fez from That 70's Show pretty much was for the first few years.

Yeah. 2 episodes of Mama's Family.

Thats also a good show...too bad they only released one DVD of Mamas Family...guess it didnt get enough sales to release season 2.:cry:

Like with MAD TV...I have the season 1 box set and the "Best of...8,9,10" DVD...but thats all they have ever released:cry:
