Another 80's sitcom comes to DVD...

*Drtooth* · 10-22-2007, 12:20 PM

Perfect Strangers 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:

Quote:

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?

I love when Conan O'Brien sings the Charles in Charge theme song.

This is soooooooooooo awesome!!! Prefect Strangers has taken too long to hit DVD.

By the way...ION stopped showing it this week.

*Drtooth* · 10-31-2007, 10:33 AM

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.

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.

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
