In "Couch Potato," in which the cousins get cable television (their company is XYZ Cable according to the installer's jacket), I noticed in the tag line, that Larry has invited Balki to go with him to a rock concert. Balki asks who's playing, and Larry replies with Chicago (think "25 or 6 to 4," "Old Days," "If You Leave Me Now," and "Hard Habit to Break"). Balki is convinced Larry is answering the question WHERE instead of WHO since they live in the Windy City. After about three questions Larry replies with the Beatles (as in John, Paul, George, and Ringo!).
Unfortunately the last concert the Beatles performed was in 1966, they broke up in 1970, and John Lennon was shot to death in 1980. How could this be possible?
Oh, and in the episode--which happens to be my favorite PS episode :) --I also enjoyed the references to Mr. Ed, The Brady Bunch, and Leave It To Beaver.

Larry probably just said that to get Balki to stop asking who. they were going to see Chicago, but Balki just didnt get it, kinda like that Abbott and Costello "Who's on First?" thing. so he didnt really mean they were going to see the Beatles

I thought I'd add that they also mentioned The Flying Nun, Gumby, I Dream of Jeannie, The Adventures of Superman and Sea Hunt in the episode "Couch Potato". It seems that Balki has a deep love in Classic TV, I know this wasn't the first time he had mentioned it.
