Talk:Perfect Strangers (TV series)

message: Since I can't edit it myself maybe someone else will.  Second paragraph of section "2.4 Season 3 (1987–1988)" should be:
"Larry acquires a reporter job working out of the basement of the Chicago Chronicle, a fictional metropolitan newspaper, and helps Balki get a mail room job. They are overseen by demanding city editor Harry Burns (Eugene Roche)."

message: The Last paragraph is confusing. Who are "Mark" and "Linn-baker?"
: Mark Linn-Baker is one person. Mark is his first name and Linn-Baker is his last name. He is the actor playing one of the show's main characters. Nine hundred ninety-nine (talk) 15:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

message: This article claimed that the exterior used for the Larry and Balki's house in Seasons 7 and 8 was the same Boulder, Colorado house used in Mork & Mindy.  This is not correct.  In fact, the series did use that exterior exactly once - in the Season 5 episode "This Old House."  But that exterior concerned a house that Larry bought for purposes of selling in that same episode.  That house was not featured in any other episode.  The actual location of the house used in Seasons 7 and 8 remains unknown.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zevonsky (talk • contribs) 07:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm glad you cleared that up. I've visited that house in Boulder a couple of times, and it didn't look at all like the house in seasons 7 and 8. However, the neighborhood does hint that perhaps there are houses like that around. It remains a mystery. Halixi72 (talk) 19:33, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Has there been enough information about the fictional island nation of Mypos to justify a seperate article?  I recall in one episode a "mood lampchop" was in the shape of Mypos, giving an idea of what the island looked like and throughout the series, Balki gave considerable information about the nation and its culture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.254.113.17 (talk) 21:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a lot of information about Mypos that can be gathered from various episodes. A few of them are in the Balki article. I've been adding to it as I think of things.  I could probably write up a couple of paragraphs on Mypos, but I don't know if it would be enough to meet Wikipedia's standards. There was an episode where Balki and Larry go to Mypos ("Citizenship" part 2), which would be useful, but unfortunately I don't remember seeing it (if I did it was 15 + years ago) and don't have access to it.  --Susan118 (talk) 07:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Moving remaining trivia section here after integrating as many "facts" as possible into the article per WP:WPTCU. If anyone can integrate these remaining factoids into the article, please feel free to do so, just don't re-add the entire trivia section please. I also removed unnecessary info about Family Matters. Most, if not all, of that info can be found on that article's page and tagged article for references. Pinkadelica 03:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: *ABC aired reruns of the show in its daytime lineup from August 1989 to July 1990 at noon (EST). It was replaced by a new version of Match Game.
*Larry's last name was inspired by the Wisconsin city Appleton.
*Bronson Pinchot's identical twin brother Justin had a guest role on the episode titled "It Had to Be You". The character he played (named Nico) was identical to Balki and dated Mary Anne while Balki dated a woman identical to Mary Anne.
Actually, Justin is his younger brother, although I've seen them wrongly identified as twins in several places. Susan118 (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's funny, I always thought he looks like Bob Saget, but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere that it was him. Where'd you see that? I don't know who any of the actors are, non of them even look remotely familiar other than him. --Susan118 talk 08:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

message: A lot of the content in the premise reads more like an argumentative essay than a neutral article. Specifically, the author speculates about how the characters interaction "transcends" the immigrant in America theme. I think this is too POV. Any thoughts?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuanhui (talk • contribs) 15:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I notice someone changed the table in this section, claiming to have "updated information". The only addition I can see is the line "for the first time" which seems irrelevant. It also looks like some information was removed, e.g. subtitles. This was just done, so maybe it's a work in progress. If the less complete information remains, I plan to revert back to previous version.--Susan118 (talk) 22:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

message: AOL in2TV seems to have been renamed AOL Video, and no longer shows Perfect Strangers. There are some episodes shown on Joost.com; however I don't know that either of these sites qualifies as "syndication", perhaps it can be indicated under another section.

message: Perfect Strangers (TV series) → Perfect Strangers (ABC TV series) – I have given my thoughts about this requested name. ABC may be interpreted as the American Broadcasting Company, but there is also the ABC network in Australia: Australian Broadcasting Company. Also, another show may be the same name under the same American network. Nevertheless, there's Wings (NBC TV series).

message: In the "Foreign versions" section it says:
"In the fall of 2006, the Russian TV station REN TV launched a remake of Perfect Strangers featuring Andrei, from a remote former Soviet republic, who moves in with his cousin Ivan, a Moscow resident."
There is a small mistake: the Moscow resident is called Andrei, and the other one is called Ivan (names are mixed up). So, please change it to:
"In the fall of 2006, the Russian TV station REN TV launched a remake of Perfect Strangers featuring Ivan, from a remote former Soviet republic, who moves in with his cousin Andrei, a Moscow resident."
As a source, you can use the Russian Wikipedia page: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Братья_по-разному_(телесериал), and you can use google translate to understand it.
