It's a show about two cousins. Larry, a Wisconsin native who moves out on his own to Chicago and his Mediterranean cousin Balki, who leaves his country and into his cousin's apartment. And that's when the hilarity ensues. 

Wonderful 80s sitcom! Truly recommend!

Great show. I only recall seeing either of them in a few other roles outside of this.

Really? Like what?

Beverly Hills Cop mostly.

Ah, yes. Bronson Pinchot played the guy at the art gallery.

I remember Bronson in True Romance too, and maybe a couple other things, but yeah, not much.



I used to love this show so much. I haven't seen it since I was a kid though. It's one of those shows I worry wouldn't hold up for me, so I avoid rewatching. May have to take the plunge though. 

Yeah, I suspect it wouldn't hold up today. Some shows can be dated yet still have enough charm to be entertaining. Not sure this one would though.

I haven't watched it when it was on the air. I've been binging it on Hulu.

It may be outdated, but I think it can attract new fans. It attracted me.

Of course it would. Don't be ridiculous. XD

Mark Linn-Baker was in a Family Matters (Perfect Strangers spin-off.) episode, but he didn't reprise his Larry Appleton character.
