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.

THE VERY SPECIAL FLASHBACK EPISODE!

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

i liked balki in True Romance.

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.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:56 (eighteen years ago) link

micio needs to write sitcoms!

"You and me are very much alike, Larry! WE BOTH HAVE BEEN LIVING A LIE, HAVEN'T WE?!"

"I'm nothing like you! NOTHING! *fires shot*"

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

"You were the Chosen One!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 3 November 2005 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

"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*

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

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.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

― _, 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

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:23 (eighteen years ago) link

BLOW

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:24 (eighteen years ago) link

The Dance of Joy did indeed exist. My mom now claims whenever she spots a dog humping a leg or another dog or something, they're doing the Dance of Joy. Thanks, Balki, for your inappropriate dancing!

mine was a masturbation joke :-(

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:28 (eighteen years ago) link

masturbation and dogs humping legs, just another day in an episode of Perfect Strangers.

"I'm Sehr'ge"

To what is this pertaining?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Luuk Skywalker, anyone?

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost - I may have the exact quote wrong, but this is early on in the movie where Axel F is in a museum.

"TO WHAT IS THIS PERTAINING?"!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:40 (eighteen years ago) link

To what is it pertaining, what is it regarding?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Abe Froman...

the Sausage King of Chicago.

this thread makes me happier than i can say

i can still sing the whole theme song. too bad it's not typically included in karaoke choices.

I love that song in some sick sad way.

NOTHING'S GONNA STOP ME NOW

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:55 (eighteen years ago) link

that song is a perfect artifact of it's era

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

All I can remember is the harmonica break and string flourish.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I would kill to watch an episode of this tonight. Particularly the episode where Balki gets a home run and proceeds to slide headfirst into every single base, or the episode in which Balki gets a checking account and proceeds to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars that he doesn't have because he's foreign LOL.

RISE AND FAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL
ON THE WINGS OF MY DREAAAAAAMSSSSS

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 22:00 (eighteen years ago) link

THE RAIN AND THUNDER
THE WIND AND HAIL
IM BOUND FOR BETTER DAYS

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Did Perfect Strangers ever have a "House Of Bling" moment?

― iDonut B4 x86 (donut), Thursday, 3 November 2005 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i am both pleased and disturbed i didnt have to look these lyrics up

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 22:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I found the lyrics online!

Sometimes the world looks perfect,
Nothing to rearrange.
Sometimes you get a feeling
Like you need some kind of change.
No matter what the odds are this time,
Nothing's going to stand in my way.
This flame in my heart,
And a long lost friend
Gives every dark street a light at the end.

Standing tall, on the wings of my dream.
Rise and fall, on the wings of my dream.

The rain and thunder
The wind and haze
I'm bound for better days.
It's my life and my dream,
Nothing's going to stop me now.

I still can't remember the damn melody!

x-post!
