Perfect Strangers is an American sitcom that ran for eight seasons, from March 25, 1986, to August 6, 1993, on the ABC television network. Created by Dale McRaven (co-creator of Mork & Mindy), it chronicles the rocky coexistence of midwestern American Larry Appleton (Mark Linn-Baker) and his distant cousin from eastern Mediterranean Europe, Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot). The premise: Larry, a Wisconsin kid just getting his first apartment in Chicago, finally gets privacy — until Balki, a shepherd from the fictional island of Mypos, shows up at his door saying “I am your cousin!” Balki interprets America through pop culture and Whoppers, and celebrates every win with the legendary “Dance of Joy.” It started as a 6-episode tryout between Who’s The Boss? and Moonlighting, became an instant hit, then moved to Wednesdays and finally Fridays at 8pm where it became the anchor for ABC’s original TGIF lineup. 150 episodes, 8 seasons. From discount store clerks and landlords to working in the basement of the Chicago Chronicle, to marrying their flight attendant girlfriends Jennifer (Melanie Wilson) and Mary Anne (Rebeca Arthur). Fun facts most people forget: • The theme song “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now” was performed by David Pomeranz • Harriette Winslow, the elevator operator, was spun off into Family Matters in 1989. That show ended up running longer than its parent. • The inspiration came after the 1984 Olympics wave of patriotism — producers wanted to do a comedy about an immigrant in America • Bronson was originally hired for Short Circuit but left to do this show — and was nominated for an Emmy for Balki.
