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?

Perfect Strangers In Seattle?

Everybody remembers 'Perfect Strangers', right? The lovable Balki Bartokomous and his Cousin Larry Appleton living together in Chicago.... Well, Ian Hugh Fraser and Christopher Bange recreated the show's intro using Seattle, Washington as the backdrop.... We need more of these! I want to see the 'Full House' intro in Baltimore, Maryland! Or the 'Laverne and Shirley' intro in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Ooooooh, or the 'Moonlighting' intro in New York City! Ok, now all of you get an expression of shock on your face and say 'NEW YORK CITY!?!?!' Sorry.... I had to do it....

By the way, did you know that Louie Anderson was cast for the role of Larry Appleton in the original pilot episode? It's true! Look!

Can You Guess This TV Theme? #11 - Answer

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?
