#22 TUX FOR TWO

Cousin Larry Fan · 05-31-2004, 09:00 PM

Season 1: First Date

Season 2: Hunks like Us

Season 3: Karate Kids

Season 4: Games People Play (Risk It All!)

Season 5: Good Skates

Season 6: This was a great season. I love The Ring, The Sunshine Boys, Finders Keepers, Speak Memory, and a Catered Affair. My junior year in high school, I was in a small group that had to do a "radio show", and I borrowed the storyline from Finders Keepers for this project.

Season 7: Chicago Suite

Season 8: The Baby Shower (the "root" episode)

How about "Chicago Suite"?

LeeBlue · 04-25-2013, 10:31 AM

Season 3 -- The Break In

It was well-written and had physical comedy so well executed.

Just a hilarious episode.

Hoping for more seasons to be released on DVD!!!!

MacLeaper · 04-25-2013, 10:40 AM

I love them all! Perfect Strangers is such a great show. I'd love to see the rest of the series get released to DVD.

Quote:

A Christmas Story

Definitely! I LOVE Christmas (and Easter of course) and it's great to see such-themed episodes on TV. And particularly "A Christmas Story" episode- this one reminds us about the baby Jesus who came at Christmas- "Sheepherders were the first to get the News, you know."

It's always great to see TV shows and movies, etc. actually acknowledge Christ as the reason for Christmas. And of course, Christmas isn't complete without Easter- when He died and rose again to give us salvation from sin.
That is why I love both holidays and celebrate both every day- because of Jesus.

From what I have read, Miller and Boyett (the producers for this show and a lot of other family friendly shows) are Christians and sometimes their Christian values can generally be seen on their shows.
(On the other hand, Larry had a tendency take The Lord's Name in vain a lot- so that's not good....

.)
But I try to test everything and hold on to the good- and avoid all appearance of evil. So that's what I do with this show too. For the most part, it's really good and I love watching it.

JO Sweet Heart · 07-01-2013, 05:42 PM

I love the episode when Balki babysits a girl who apparently has never heard the word, "No." before.

God bless you always!!!

Cynthia12 · 07-14-2013, 01:15 PM

My favorite was all the news to print when Larry tried to write his story meantime Balki did all that work for mr gorpli and I loved how Harriet helped Balki

LeeBlue · 08-16-2013, 04:10 PM

"Up On The Roof" was another favorite of mine. There was physical humor as Larry wanted so much to work for a newspaper.

Always thought it was nice that he got his wish in season three -- didn't have to wait 'til the end of the series.
