Perfect Strangers

Emmy® Award nominee Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker star in this hilarious, long-running comedy series that showcases how family can often be stranger than, well, strangers! Life will never be the same for Larry (Linn-Baker) when a cousin he’s never met, Balki (Pinchot), who hails from a distant country, arrives unexpectedly at his Chicago apartment. Cultures clash … but not without laughs.
