when you’re rolling out the dough (13. 292)

 

Debuting on this day in 1986, the mismatched-cultural sitcom relationship of midwestern aspiring journalist Larry Appleton compelled to cohabitate with distant cousin Balki Bartokomous, a shepherd from the fictional Mediterranean island of Mypos, has far too much free real estate in my head, to my mind.And whilst Perfect Strangers is not worthy of nostalgia, which I maintain, a tweet twittered in the midst of wholesale cultural reboots pandering to a specific age plugging continuation in which Bronson Pinchot’s character, having married his fitness coach girlfriend Mary Anne Spencer (having baby Robespierre-Boinki Bartokomous for the series finale), decide as a family to return to Mypos, plot a violent revolution and rule in the style of Nicolae and Elena Ceauศ™escu. Now we do the Dance of Joy!
