    One of my favorite '80's T.V. show is now on DVD. Remember, Balki?

             By the way, here's the catchy theme from Mr. David Pomeranz. ;D
     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vbnLYROCj8&search=Perfect+strangers

                    NOTHING'S GONNA STOP ME NOW

                        Sometimes the world looks perfect,
                                 Nothing to rearrange.
                           Sometimes you get a feeling
                      Like you need some kind of change.
                    No matter what the odds are this time,
                       Nothing's going to stand in my way.
                                 This flame in my heart,
                                  And a long lost friend
                  Gives every dark street a light at the end.
                   Standing tall, on the wings of my dream.
                   Rise and fall, on the wings of my dream.
                                The rain and thunder
                                 The wind and haze
                             I'm bound for better days.
                              It's my life and my dream,
                         Nothing's going to stop me now.

       
         Now, don't be ridikalus, you know how the song goes. ;D

This was a great sitcom.  I remember the concept was copied locally starring Redford White & Eric Quizon.  They even copied a specific episode of Perfect Strangers and tinagalog lang yun script!  The one where Balki was trying out one of his medicinal rituals on his cousin who has the flu bug.

Even the theme song sounded similar...

I know he keeps appearing in Eddie Murphy movies.

Buddy en Sol


             I don't know but Buddy and Sol bored me at that time. Is it because of poor reception of our Channel 9 back then? :(

that theme song brings back a lot of memories! this show was hilarious!

             David Pomeranz in his last performance on a cruise liner (shown very recently in QTV) sang that song. Couldn't believe I heard that song in a live performance after so many years. ;)

             ;D ;D ;D

i don't think so... first, that show was really such a big bore. it tried so hard to be the local version of perfect strangers. it obviously failed...and second, if memory serves me right, perfect strangers was shown also on channel 9, but we enjoyed it just the same.

so there, it's not the reception. hahaha  ;D

Buddy en Sol was the number 1 Pinoy sitcom on TV during that time.
