Perfect Strangers
A slapstick buddy comedy that chronicles the rocky coexistence of Larry Appleton (Mark Linn-Baker) and his distant cousin Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot). A Wisconsin native, Larry has just moved into a new apartment in Chicago when Balki, a hitherto unknown cousin from an island in the Mediterranean called Mypos, drops by to live with him. Balki, a sheepherder by trade, interprets what little he knows about the United States by relying on his own recollections of American pop culture, which are often out-of-context ("America... Land of my dreams, home of the Whopper"). Balki's signature is his "Dance of Joy", a cross between a Dosado and the Hokey Pokey that Balki performs in celebration of good fortune. Larry, an aspiring photographer, decides to take Balki under his wing and teach him about American life. Frequently, however, the neurotic Larry proves to be equally if not more inept in this respect than Balki.

With a week to go before their softball game in the league championships, Larry thinks that his team is going to win it all. However, when Balki tells him that the star player is taking his family on vacation the same weekend as the game, Larry starts to scramble to find a suitable replacement. Larry gets into a big predicament when Balki talks him into playing on the team and Mr. Twinkacetti wants to bring in a ringer. When it comes down to the final inning of the game, Larry has an attack of conscience and decides to let Balki have his chance at playing in his first baseball game.
