The first two seasons of Perfect Strangers hit DVD Feb. 5, and while my upcoming review in EW will say that they’re not worth buying — much of the slapstick is stale, like when Cousin Larry (Mark Linn-Baker) struggles to open a bag of potato chips in the opening moments of the pilot — you do need to see this Fresh Young Balki B (Bronson Pinchot) music video. And tell me what it’s from. And why it’s not on the DVD.

This was a spoof on the Milli Vanilli lip-synching controversy. As I recall, Balki is shocked to hear a different voice come out of him when he watches his new music video for the first time, and his pop-star career is quickly crushed.

I had forgotten all about that show anbd you inflict it on a Monday morning? How cruel!
My Eyes! My Ears!!!
MY EYESSSS!!!
What – no Meposian Dance of Joy? I’m disappointed.
Incidentally, that video is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen. Thanks.
I miss the dance of joy. Every so often, something silly comes up and I feel the need to say, “Now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy!” But no one else gets it.
Wow. I can’t believe this show is out on dvd! I loved this show when I was nine. I bet I’d really hate it now. I wonder what kind of people (and how many) will buy these dvds.
I’ll admit I had a small crush on Pinchot back in the day. Imagine my shock and alarm to find he’s a huge pervert in real life! (See The Surreal Life, season 5)
Wow. Yes I do remember this. It reminds me quite a bit of another TGIF-nerd-inspired rooftop dance number: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTeOcVelYi0
Silv – I get it! (Sadly, I also remember how to do it. The things that stick in the brain.)
I’d assume it wasn’t on the dvd because it came from one of the show’s later seasons?
ep sato…i think you’re right. why would that even be on the Season 1/2 dvds???
that was so upsetting. as was the kitty-cat drawing at the end!
Wow, I couldn’t even watch the entire clip. I have a very low tolerance for corniness…oh, and for subjecting myself to boredom.
