The UNTOLD Story of Perfect Strangers | Did Bronson & Mark Really Get Along? Why Was It Canceled?

They stood tall on the wings of their dreams and vowed that nothing was gonna stop them. And that was exactly the way it was for eight seasons. ABC sitcom Perfect Strangers, that ran from 1986 to 1993 chronicling the relationship of Larry Appleton and his distant cousin Balki Bartokomous, captured the hearts of viewers right from the very start.

“Don't be ridiculous” 😂 was one of my favorite lines said by Balki

[@shanclay]

😂

[@AggravatedMan365]

The best thing about perfect strangers is that it gave birth to Family Matters

[@varianeng9668]

I see your point but I respectfully disagree. Family matters is good but I still enjoy the theme song for Perfect Strangers to this day and love it soooo much.

[@divinedelaware7541]

True Story

[@danavixen6274]

When great sitcoms gave birth to even GREATER spinoffs! ❤

[@xerxestelevision6666]

That’s a matter of opinion! I strongly disagree, but I do love both!

[@lexkanyima2195]

It's a shame that we never had a Cahcago crossover

[@Rockhead84]

Great show. Balki was hilarious. Crazy what a ripple effect this show had: helped to launch TGIF AND spun off to Family Matters

[@lexkanyima2195]

Well as 3 years it was a big build up

[@KevinPayton-fq8gd]

TGIF in the late 1980's through the 1990's was awesome.

[@rommy143]

Perfect strangers was a staple of my childhood. I miss those days.

[@missladyanonymity]

Those 80s and 90s sitcom these songs were amazing!

[@JeremiahSpeaks]

I'm loving these deep dives on sitcoms and dramas. Thank you Juicy Pop for all your hard work 😊

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

I couldn't imagine Louie Anderson as Larry

[@kirkindog]

I remember seeing "Beverly Hills Cop" when it first came out in 1984 and its star, a young Eddie Murphy, was a tour de force in it. However, Bronson Pinchot as, "Serge," actually stole that scene with Murphy. I think that was the blueprint for his "Balki" character on "Perfect Strangers."

[@beaniegee5129]

Great story on Perfect Strangers

[@Buggy-su4oy]

Could you do one about The original Tiny Toon Adventures or Animaniacs?

[@willalba4712]

Do Mamas Family!

[@madddoggnogood1491]

YES!!!

[@kittykat8110]

Please!!!

[@hassanburton669]

Good Video👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Balki Been My Dude Since Beverly Hills Cop.

[@OswaldBatesIIIEsq]

The "Perfect Strangers" theme was my ringtone once upon a time.

[@twistedfenderchick]

I remember Bronson being EXTRA handsy on the Surreal Life. Look up the episode with Dickinson. She eventually had to tell him that she was molested To get him to stop touching her. So I absolutely believe the actress who spoke up about him sexually harassing her.

[@EFunkRock]

So where was #timesup and #metoo when this happened?

[@JuicyPopEntertainment]

Ewww. That's unfortunate.

[@taureanmay1411]

​@@JuicyPopEntertainment0:34 so do I.

[@tanquantwal]

Me too. You can see him feeling on her bottom in the episode the horn blows at midnight

[@twistedfenderchick]

EFunkRock-Surreal Life season 6 was in 2003. Way before the metoo movement.

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Perfect Strangers a.k.a Family Matters the Prequel lol ❤

[@missladyanonymity]

Robespierre-Boinki Bartokomous. I remember that 30 years later.

[@thewrongascendancy]

I vaguely remember this show! It came out when I was a baby, but it was still running when I was in grade school. My older relatives used to sing the theme song a lot. This is another one I need to watch. Thanks for the cool videos! Keep them coming! 😀

[@MarquesScott]

I’ve been following you since day one. I’m loving your content.

[@JuicyPopEntertainment]

Thank you so much for your support!🥰

[@taureanmay1411]

​@@JuicyPopEntertainment2:07 you too.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@JuicyPopEntertainment Actually Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn Baker did shoot a scene for the Family Matters pilot crossover. It was a phone call but it got cut and wasn't shown in the episode. ☎🤗📺🎬

[@lexkanyima2195]

​@@SuperMarioBrosIIIwhy it has to be a phone call ?

[@lexkanyima2195]

​@@JuicyPopEntertainmentcan you make a video about Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld, Married With Children, Friends ?

I've been loving your channel since the beginning, and you're doing a great job. Keep it going! Can I also make a request for TV shows? Can you guys do some episodes on some of the Aaron Spelling dramas such as Charlie's Angels, Dynasty, Melrose Place, and Charmed? I would love to hear your perspective about those shows.

[@Africanqueen3972]

[@tanquantwal]

Dimitri

[@annearly3200]

Why did have a two bedroom apartment if he was single

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@annearly3200 Yeah they never explained that LOL!

[@RajaReign78]

I loved Perfect Strangers and I liked Family Matters until it was taken over by Steve Urkel. I wish Family Matters could’ve stayed what it was before it became all about that character. That is probably the reason I like Perfect Strangers more cuz it pretty much stayed the same throughout its run and no one character became the focal point of the show.

[@lexkanyima2195]

But Harriet at that time really lacks the atmosphere of The Winslows, Urkel save the show's decline.

[@winkstar9265]

People watched a lot of mind trash.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

🌆Get out of the City!🐑🗽🌃🛥

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

📼Actually that wasn't The Winslows riding there bikes in Chicago as Reginal VelJohnson revealed that he's never been to Chicago so the far away shot isn't the same people on the bicycles. 🏙🚲🤔📺

[@86reyleon]

This was the show that spun off Family Matters 🫶🏽🙌🏽
