We need to talk about the greatness that is Perfect Strangers.

For those who may not know, there was a sitcom on in the ‘80s and ‘90s called Perfect Strangers, that gave us the adventures of Balki Bartokomous and his cousin Larry Appleton. It was my favorite show when I was a kid (yes, I’m dating myself here). In fact, I even remember sending the show a fan letter written on posterboard-size paper (my tv fangirling goes way back), and they actually sent me a photo back! It was tacked on to the corkboard on my wall for years. My family recorded tons of episodes on VHS tapes (dating myself again!), and my brother and I would rewatch them all the time. Needless to say, the show definitely had a strong place in my childhood.

I was elated when the first two seasons were released on DVD, but then we waited and waited for the other seasons, and it looked like I may never get to watch the rest of the series again...until Hulu saved the day! When I saw the announcement Hulu was bringing back Perfect Strangers I absolutely freaked out! I started watching the day they released the episodes and finished exactly one month later. And oh, what a glorious trip back in time! If you have never watched this fantastic show, or haven’t seen it in 30 years, I highly recommend checking it out! It’s classic comedy at its finest! Here are a few of my thoughts after my binge watch:

-First of all, the theme song is one of the best of all time. OF ALL TIME.

-Balki was always my fave, and Larry was always the angry guy who didn’t want to have fun. But after watching this time around, I’ve come to find that I have a newfound appreciation for Larry. He is such a clueless little dork who can get so carried away at times, but deep down, he has a really good heart. Balki AND Larry are both total cinnamon rolls.

-My favorite seasons are 3-6, the ones where they are in their 2nd apartment. That’s really when they hit their stride, and probably the most iconic episodes from the series are from that time. Season 3 is probably best of them all.

-The show is always commended for its physical comedy, and truly Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker are excellent at that, but another area where they excel is their masterful way with words. All of the alliteration, talking over each other, arguing, and fast-talking take so much skill, not to mention all the Myposian they had to say!

-I want a stuffed Dmitri.

-”Babasticki” needs to become a thing. What a great word.

-When you watch, look for Dmitri (Balki’s stuffed sheep) in the background of the scene. Chances are, he will be wearing something or have a prop next to him that connects with the theme of the episode! I love shows that pay attention to detail like that. Here was a pre-internet show, heck, pre-DVD show, where the likelihood of someone catching that would be so slim. But they did it anyway! I love that.

I could go on, but it would be better for you to just go to Hulu instead. It’s back! And now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy!
