This was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I was stoked to see it pop up on Hulu. So, I decided to binge watch couldn't believe that I loved it even more as an adult than I did then. The comedic humor and way that Mark Lynn Baker and Bronson Pinchot reminds me of Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance. They are both excellent in their use of slapstick physical comedy and the writing was fantastic. If you haven't watched this for a while, I highly recommend it. So worth buying and being able to own forever.

This was my favorite series from TGIF even though it came out before it. Also if it wasn't for Perfect Strangers there would have never been the spin off Family Matters another great TGIF show.
