Anybody remember "Perfect Strangers?"

I found it on DVD yesterday. I'd been looking for it for ages. I'm not quite sure why, but this show has always cracked me up! :rofl:

1. Same term... different perspective. You've reminded me...

...that I meant to post this after seeing Tom Waits get inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

It was nice to catch a flash of Bette in the crowd that evening.

This is one of my favorite... if not my absolute favorite song of his
(though I could change my mind every time I hear any ONE of his songs):
.

.
"I Never Talk to Strangers" ("Oh, you don't look like such a chump." "Ohhh, hey baby." :rofl:)

2. Yes. I always thought that show was underrated.

A lot of good physical comedy, and the facial expressions of the guy who played Balki's cousin were priceless.

4. And now we do the dance of joy

After which we partake of the ding-ding makmüd.

If you like Mark-Linn Baker, you should check out the movie he did with Peter O'Toole, "My Favorite Year."

5. Damn you! I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!

Hey,
Yeah I remember watching the show also.

I absolutely love My Favorite Year, some cliches and whatever, but was fun as heck to watch and was quite poignant at the end.

Peace
