For instance, in the last season, Larry and Balki were going to be fathers (https://web.archive.org/web/20140406110016/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3135972-perfect-strangers/#entry4578391). And Larry has a dream (https://perfectstrangersreviewed.wordpress.com/2018/11/02/season-7-episode-16-yes-sir-thats-my-baby/) where he and Balki are babies in a giant nursery set.

And there's also episodes with them living in a haunted house (https://perfectstrangersreviewed.wordpress.com/2018/08/10/season-7-episode-5-fright-night/) (the house they had already been living in (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031130756/http://www.jumptheshark.com/p/perfectstrangers.htm) forever) and a (https://web.archive.org/web/20140406110016/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3135972-perfect-strangers/#entry4584583) homage (https://perfectstrangersreviewed.wordpress.com/2018/03/30/season-6-episode-16-i-saw-this-on-tv/) to The Honeymooners (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeKjK1_EiCs).

They kept switching writers, they had a break for a year or so and were running out of ideas. Seeing them as fathers would have been nice though. The actors were ready to move on to other projects too.

Yeah, I don't think Seasons 7 and 8 are as good as the earlier seasons. Also, why did they wait until Season 7 to finally move into an actual house? Oh well, not that it really matters, since I consider Season 3-6 to be the golden era, which was during the time they were in the second apartment, which is my favorite setting.

^^^ Season seven is when Larry and Jennifer finally got married and I am guessing that back in those days, people on TV got married first before they got themselves a place together.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I miss those days.
