Perfect Strangers

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Perfect Strangers is a 1984 album and its title song by the hard rock band Deep Purple.

Perfect Strangers was a televised sitcom on ABC which ran from 1986 through 1993. Its main characters were a regular American named Larry (Mark Linn-Baker) and his new-to-the-country cousin, Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot), from the (fictional) island nation of Mypos.

Many episode plots involved Larry's greed getting the better of him, and having to be saved by Balki, and many involved elaborate dance numbers or stunts.

Balki's catch phrase was "Don't be ridiculous."

In later seasons, Larry and Balki each got married, and together with their wives lived in a large house, a departure from the previous format.

Perfect Strangers is a British television drama first aired in 2001. It was written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff, and starred Michael Gambon, Lindsay Duncan, and Matthew MacFadyen.

The action took place during a family reunion.
