| | | Features: DVD Welcome to Chicago, Balki Bartokomous! The professional sheepherder from the tiny island of Mypos won't find many woolly quadrupeds in the Windy City, but he will find pop-top soda cans. Singles bars. Color TV. Mobsters. Game shows. Pink lemonade (how'd they get pink lemons?). And many more modern oddities sure to amaze the man from Mypos. Bronson Pinchot portrays Balki and Mark Linn-Baker plays his stateside cousin and long-suffering roommate in Perfect Strangers, the hilarious culture-clash comedy that delighted fans for eight hit seasons with its mix of slapstick and insight. Should you miss a single laugh in this complete, 28-episode, 4-disc Season One/Two collection? Don't be ridikalus! "...genuinely funny. Not funny in a "I used to think this was funny" way...it's still funny." Matt Caracappa, X-Entertainment
 Editor's Note
 Cultural misunderstandings and funny foreign accents were never quite so charming as they were in this classic sitcom. Introducing one of TV's most unforgettable characters, PERFECT STRANGERS stars Bronson Pinchot as Balki Bartokomous, an irrepressible sheepherder from the fictional island of Mypos, who surprises his straitlaced cousin, Larry (Mark Linn-Baker), by moving into his Chicago apartment. As town meets county, comic fireworks explode. Amazed by the modern America, and in love with pop culture, Balki leads Larry into plenty of crazy situations as he gets to know his new home. A spectacular hit that ran for eight seasons, the show also has the fame of providing the linchpin to ABC's original Friday "TGIF" lineup, and giving the world the catchphrase "Don't be ridikalus!" Featuring one of the most adorable cultural caricatures since Emmanuel Lewis' WEBSTER, this collection presents the first two seasons of this endearing series.
