Perfect Strangers is a sitcom which ran on ABC from 1986 to 1993, focusing on colorful immigrant shepherd Balki and his uptight American cousin Larry. The series had a spin-off, Family Matters (centering on the family of supporting character Harriet Winslow).

  • Muppet Magazine issue 20 featured the cover text "Don't Be Ridiculous! It's Balki! Bronson Pinchot!" (with Pinchot wearing the vest he used as Balki). The inside article includes a photo caption with Gonzo saying "Yeah, Iā€™m kind of a perfect stranger, too!"

Muppet Mentions[]

  • In the sixth season episode "The Men Who Knew Too Much" (part 2), Larry and Balki end up in a tattoo parlor. Balki asks if they have the Muppet Babies and is told it's the second most requested item (after a cobra on the face).
  • In the seventh season episode "The Elevator," while trapped inside, Balki tries to use the elevator phone to end his subscription to Muppet Baby Magazine. When Larry tries to phone out, Balki says "Cousin, not until I cancel Kermit."
  • In the series finale "Up Up and Away," Mary Anne talks about baby development, "Rational thought process occurs in the sixth month. Verbal skills follow in the ninth or tenth." When everyone's impressed by the statement, she explains "I heard it on Sesame Street."
