Happy Birthday To Balki Bartokomous!

'Well, feed me garlic and call me stinky!'

The man we all know and loved, until he got really creepy and made us feel awkward on 'The Surreal Life', Bronson Pinchot turns 51 years old today....

Thank you for Balki Bartokomous.... He will forever be in our hearts as the lovable nonsensical cousin who is fresh off the boat from Mypos.

May you stand tall and rise and fall on the wings of your dreams.... Nothing's gonna stop you know....

It's time for the 'Dance of Joy'!

By the way.... Have you ever seen the video of the 'Perfect Strangers' intro using Seattle, Washington as the backdrop?

Can You Guess This TV Theme? #37 - Answer

Another round of applause for Lisa Marie from The Domestication of a Party Girl for being the first to correctly answer this weeks 'Can You Guess This TV Theme?'!

I'm turning 30 on Sunday, so I thought the only appropriate choice for this week's 'Can You Guess This TV Theme?' would be 'thirtysomething'....

I have to be honest.... I didn't watch this show very often. It was filled with adult themes and drama and people being thirty....

I always thought the coolest thing about the show was the creepy Bedford Falls logo and tune at the end of each episode....

The show centered around a group of middle-class suburban grown ups trying to survive their 30's.... They deal with love, children, marriage, divorce, friends and family....

I just remember the show being super dramatic with a few laughs. I know that 'thirtysomething' is supposed to be this sensational generation drama, but I just don't see the appeal.... I've been watching episodes of 'thirtysomething' all night, and I can't get excited about the show.

However, you put an episode of 'Perfect Strangers' in front of me, and I'll do the dance of joy!

Did you get it? Did you know the theme from one of the best television shows ever on television?

Yes, you did? Then it's time for the 'Dance of Joy'!



No, you didn't? 'Well, feed me garlic and call me stinky!'

Perfect Strangers was that show where a feet-on-the-ground guy from Wisconsin moves to the big city, and ends up taking in his nonsensical cousin who is fresh off the boat from Mypos.

Wait! Don't jump to conclusions! This show was not a one sided coin! Cousin Larry and Balki Batokomous were both able to teach each other a little bit about life throughout the show's 8 season run.

Did you know that Louie Anderson was cast for the role of Larry Appleton in the original pilot episode? Here's a still photo from the pilot. Would the show have been the success it was if Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker weren't the stars?
