As the best man at Larry's upcoming wedding, Balki is tricked by Mr. Gorpley into throwing a bachelor party and when Mr. Gorpley show up at the party, he spikes the punch and hires a stripper and Jennifer finds out.

I like the logical flow of the final actions there.

When Balki finds out that there is a ghost in their house, Larry refuses to believe it. Jennifer and Mary Anne are convinced when Balki shows them a book about it. So they go up to Balki's room (where the ghost lives) and wait for him to come out. Even when miraculous things start to happen, Larry still doesn't believe it until he's attacked.

...and dies bloodily?

After Dimitri is kidnapped, Balki has a mental block that prevents him from drawing it in the paper. so Larry and Balki try to catch the kidnapper in the basement of the Chronicle.

Nothing about this makes any sense.

How does one get tricked into throwing a stripper bachelor party, exactly?

The end of that episode is reminiscent of the climax of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Ok, wait so there's nothing wrong with the concept of 'Fresh Young Balki B' but LIP SYNCING IS BAD CUZ THEY ONLY WANTED HIM FOR HIS BODY.

Larry and Balki throw a Halloween party with their friends and after six hours of watching scary movies, Larry wakes up and discovers that Balki is an alien from "Planet Mypos" and is turning everyone into Mypiots by putting vests on them.

Oh dear lord:

When Balki shows Larry that Jennifer has been knitting booties, The possibility that Jennifer is pregnant causes Larry to imagine Larry and Balki's future sons becoming best friends in the nursery trying to escape.

This surely must have meant an episode with Larry and Balki in a dream sequence in an oversize set dressed up in DIAPERS.

Mr. Wainwright has chosen Larry and Balki to team up for a stress evaluation test that could get them fired if they fail, which isn't easy for Larry ho is high strung.

If only that wasn't a misspelling of 'who'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I think there's a missing semicolon:

Mr. Wainwright has chosen Larry and Balki to team up for a stress evaluation test that could get them fired if they fail, which isn't easy for Larry; ho is high strung.

Clarity.

it was! ive seen that episode! it was a later episode, IIRC. they wore pajamas instead of diapers though.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Larry is sent to Los Angeles to write an article about a soap opera star's wedding and Balki goes with him. While attempting to get a better story, they get chased by mobsters after they witness and video tape Marco Madison, a big time gangster, murder an undercover drug agent and Larry and Balki are prime suspects.

Thank god for that.

Jennifer is seven months pregnant; Balki and Mary Anne have been on their honeymoon for five months in Mypos and their about to come home. When they arrive, they have a surprise, Mary Anne is also pregnant but isn't going through any bad symptoms like Jennifer is. Balki brought a root back from Mypos that could help Jennifer but when Larry and Balki eat it, they start acting very hyper and ruin the baby shower.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Larry mistakenly believes that Jennifer is going to leave him for Balki after catching them bobbing for myposian pomegranates, inspiring a b&w fantasy sequence based on 'Jules & Jim'. I wish.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Jennifer is two weeks overdue and has a few false alarms. Meanwhile, After Balki and Mary Anne went to the fair, Mary Anne goes into labor and has her baby in the driveway. Jennifer is told about a balloon ride Mary Anne went in and in hopes of going into labor, Larry and Balki take Jennifer up in the balloon.

Just...in the driveway, not even in the car.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:40 (eighteen years ago) link

When did "gangster" become a euphemism for "porn star"?

― Dan (Marco Madison????????) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:41 (eighteen years ago) link

After doing some research, Larry finds evidence that Mary Anne is a serial killer but Jennifer is very skeptical since she's known her all her life. But Larry gets scared when Mary Anne is planning on taking Balki mountain climbing, and when Jennifer gets called into work, he thinks that Mary Anne killed her. It turns out to be a total misunderstanding.

This show was surely the ending of the 20th century. It killed it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Nah, that was the final two seasons of Roseanne

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh dear. Yeah, you're right.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i remember sitting through "Perfect Strangers" in order to get to "Full House"!

not long after all that, "TGIF" started, and Robo Urkel was on his way!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Larry and Balki are driving to Lake Whitefish where Larry and Jennifer are getting married and they are pulled over for going too slow, but they are arrested when Larry backs into the patrol car, then they are picked out of a line-up when Larry is identified as a robber. Larry and Jennifer end up getting married in jail

Mary Anne was promoted and moves to London and Balki is heartbroken and miserable. So Larry suggests Balki get a hobby to take his mind off her. So he joins a motorcycle gang where the club plans a wild initiation ceremony.

Oh fucking fuck, the FLASHBACK CLIP EPISODE (to which all shows are doomed to eventually give into):

Larry prepares a surprise party for Balki who is taking his college entrance exams. While they are waiting for him to return, they talk about some things they've been through together such as when they first met, the first day at the Chronicle, when they tried to fix Jennifer and Mary Anne's shower, etc. Larry thinks that he has helped Balki come along way but it seems that Balki has been helping him more.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

THE VERY SPECIAL FLASHBACK EPISODE!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:49 (eighteen years ago) link

i liked balki in True Romance.

― bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Balki asks his young friend Arnold Drummond to 'look at the crazy pictures with me!'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Larry checks an atlas and finds out that Mypos doesn't actually exist. With the help of an FBI he discovers that Balki is actually renowned hitman Alphonse The Tiger, inspiring a Usual Suspects-like flashback of all the clues that "Balki" had left throughout the series. Larry, infuriated by the betrayal, attacks his former friend while he sleeps, setting off a nude showdown in the rain.

I think you need to film that.

micio needs to write sitcoms!

"Isn't it time you admit the truth about yourself, Larry? The REAL reason my betrayal bothers you so? ACCEPT YOUR DESTINY!"

"NOOOO!!!" *leaps from tree onto Balki's back*

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 3 November 2005 17:00 (eighteen years ago) link

because i am too young to have ever watched perfect strangers, i have a question about the show. after the credits, which cast member, if any, would let you know it was a "miller/boyette production"? i know its the same company because family matters was a spin-off and carl winslow did it on that

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 17:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Ethan, aren't we the same age?

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 3 November 2005 17:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Ethan ages backwards, like Merlin.

The one episode I remember that's not mentioned yet (very surprisingly!) would go something like this in the episode guide:

Larry comes down with a sickness, and Balki offers him a special Myposian cure to take. After Larry devours the elixir, he feels revived -- except the only problem is that Larry was asleep for three days as a result. So Larry must find a way to explain his disappearance from work.

im only 22!!!!

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:44 (eighteen years ago) link

i was born in 1982 (ill be 23 on November 22), and i watched 'perfect strangers' when i was 6!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i watched too much tv, period.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:47 (eighteen years ago) link

haha you're barely younger than me, and older than my sister--who used to crush on Balki!!!!! You missed out, man.

Thankfully, after all of Perfect Strangers, Bronson Pinchot's gay-character-acting peak was still in Beverly Hills Cop.

"I'm Sehr'ge"

― iDonut B4 x86 (donut), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Did Pinchot ever do a Robin Williams or Paul Reubens and play a "dark cameo" in a movie, where he was an evil fuck-up?

― iDonut B4 x86 (donut), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:50 (eighteen years ago) link

..you know, for hollywood cred?

― iDonut B4 x86 (donut), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:50 (eighteen years ago) link

he threw up in true romance!!

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

unless you meant something else by paul reubens' "dark cameo"

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Am I misrembering this or did Balki used to do a little knee-slapping nipple-tweaking Myposian dance of joy when he was excited?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I forget what movie, but Paul Reubens played some hippie guru pimp dealer dude very briefly in some movie in the late 90s.

― iDonut B4 x86 (donut), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh right, Bring It On
