February
21, 2012 - Wwowww! So
what does everyone think of Bronson's new show on DIY? We're doing our
best to keep up with all the latest news on The Bronson Pinchot Project, so if
you don't want to miss out on anything be sure to join our Facebook
group or at least check in with our Blog
where we are posting links to the latest interviews and articles in the
media. Be sure to check out our News page for
information on Bronson's upcoming appearance on the online interview show Down
and Dirty! You can also find these compiled on our very own The Bronson Pinchot
Project Page. These week we are bringing you our usual updates,
including a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new tidbit of information on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added an article from an unknown
source about Bronson in Perfect Strangers from 1987 to our Articles
section. And we have embedded Bronson's 1988 interview on Good Morning,
America, to our Interviews section. And be sure to catch another one
of the very cute and fun One to One PSAs which aired on ABC on Saturday mornings
in the late 1980's to our YouTube Channel, this one about the value of not
lying. And since it's come up a few times since Bronson's new series
started, let's make the season five episode This Old House be the
episode we will be discussing this week on our Forum's
Weekly Episode Discussion Board. And finally we leave you to ponder this
week's Forum
Topic of the Week
question, which is this: "When and how did you first
start watching Perfect Strangers?" True, we've discussed
similar subjects previously on the forums, but not on the new forums and we do
have some new members there, so why not share your stories again? Get out
of the city!
February
14, 2012 - Happy Valentine's
Day, Cousins! And what better Valentine's Day can there be than to have
Bronson back on our television sets, and in such an open and candid way!
Fans were treated to a wonderful barrage of interviews last week which Bronson
gave from both his home and in New York. You can catch up on all of these
by visiting our new The Bronson Pinchot
Project Page in which we will embed all the online episodes and also links
to all the media Bronson has done related to the show! Get out of the
city! We also must give a shout out to our good friend Chris Mann and
thank him for his wonderful job interviewing Bronson for his Reimagine That!
podcast! You can find the link to that on the previously mentioned page,
as well as our News page. (Thanks also to Cousin
Lucy of Bronson Pinchot
Online for helping Chris and I to secure the interview with Bronson as
well! Head on over to her site for the latest Q&A session with
Bronson, too!) Bronson also has a brand new official, official blog which
you can visit and comment on by going to the link on our Bronson
Page (also check out his demo reel while you're there!)
But let's move on to our regular updates, including a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new factoid on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We've also added a very interesting 1986 article about Perfect
Strangers from Newsday to our Articles
section. And we've embedded Bronson's November 1989 interview on CNN
Showbiz Today about Second Sight to our Interviews section. And
we've added yet another one of the adorable ABC's One to One PSA spots, this
time about bowling, to our YouTube
Channel. And the
episode we will be discussing this week on our Forum's
Weekly Episode Discussion Board will be the hilarious season two episode, Hunks
Like Us. (Be sure not to work out too much before your big Valentine's
Day dates, Cousins!) And finally take a moment to answer the following Topic of the Week
question up for discussion: "What is the most
interesting NEW thing you've learned about Bronson in the past week?"
Oh po po!
February
7, 2012 - Well, assist my
renovation and call me Mikey! The official debut of The Bronson Pinchot Project on the DIY
Network on February 11th is almost here! For those of you who missed the
first episode, it's a chance to finally see this fun series on television, and
for those of us who have seen it, well, I'm sure many of us will be tuning in
again! We will try to keep you up to date on any happenings for the show
that night, especially if Bronson does any live video feeds on DIY or anything,
so be sure to check our Facebook
page and Forum throughout
the day on February 11th! As we await the big day, let's go ahead and
peruse this week's updates, shall we? As always, we have a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new tidbit of P.S. related information on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added a not-so-glowing review of Second Sight
from The New York Times to our articles
section, but only because they do give Bronson credit for his skills, even
though in general they pan the movie itself. This will also give you an
idea of the kinds of reviews Bronson read before having to go out and face the
talk show circuit anyway and how difficult it really was for him. We have
also added a February 1988 report from Entertainment
Tonight about movie scene stealers, as well as some other quick clips
from that time period featuring Bronson Pinchot, to our Interviews
section. And we've added another one of the ABC Saturday morning public
service announcement commercials called One to One to our YouTube
Channel, this time featuring Balki and Larry playing checkers! And the
episode we will be discussing this week on our Forum's
Weekly Episode Discussion Board will be the classic season six entry, Speak,
Memory. All together now . . . "Hello, my name is Cousin Larry
App-le-ton!" And we are also offering the following Topic of the Week
question up for discussion: "Which episode of Perfect
Strangers do you think you've watched the most times, and why?"
It should be very interesting to see how everyone's answers vary on this one!
January
31, 2012 - Well, slant my
window panes and call me Bevel! We're anxiously awaiting the official
debut of The Bronson Pinchot Project on the DIY Network, but if you just can't
wait to see the first episode again you can now watch it on our News
page, courtesy of DIY, which has posted the episode online! Get out of the
city! We've also posted an article about the show posted on the Sun
Herald's website which you can also find on the News
page! I know we're all anxiously awaiting episode two, which will air on
February 11th, so be sure to join us on Facebook
and our new Forums to
discuss all the fun! This week we have our usual round of updates for you,
including a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new factoid on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added an article about Bronson and Second
Sight from an unknown publication to our Articles section. And
speaking of Second Sight, we have embedded Bronson's 1988 interview on Entertainment
Tonight done on the set of that film. And speaking of Entertainment
Tonight we have now added another interview with Bronson from that show
aired on March 22, 1988 to our YouTube
Channel. And this week on our Forum's
Weekly Episode Discussion Board we will be discussing the final entry into the season-ending
four-episode story arc from
season seven, Get Me to the Dump on Time (and be honest, you're already
trying to remember how to pronounce the Bitatatoutata
Ratatatouille, complete with head turn and spit!) And while you're there,
give us an opinion on our Topic of the Week as well! This week's question
is this: "Which
room of Bronson's house do you most hope he will remodel next?"
And will he bring in Mark Linn-Baker to build a gazebo? Or perhaps take
one down? Well, of course not! Don't be ridiculous!
January
24, 2012 - Well, restore my
house and call me Bronson! We hope you all enjoyed the sneak peek of
Bronson's new home renovation series on the DIY Network, the Bronson Pinchot
Project! If you didn't catch it, don't despair! The show will
debut on February 11th, so there's still time to call your cable company and
order the DIY Network if you don't have it already! Let us begin this week
with our usual updates, including a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new tidbit of P.S. information on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added an article about Bronson from an Unknown
Publication in which he talks briefly about his name. And we have
embedded Bronson's 1988 interview on CNN Showbiz
Today to our Interviews section. And we have added Mark's
appearance on the 1989 People's Choice Awards to our YouTube
Channel! And if you haven't signed up for a new Forum
yet, please do so! This week we will be discussing the third entry into the season-ending four-episode story arc from
season seven, It Had to Be You. Finally we get to hear Justin's
voice and not just see the back of his head! And while you're over there,
join in our Topic of the Week, which is this: "If
Mark Linn-Baker were to star in a reality show of his own, what would you like
to be the focus of that show?" Blow my mind, why don't you??
January
17, 2012 - Well, Cousins,
this week marks the highly-anticipated sneak peek of Bronson's new series, The
Bronson Pinchot Project, for the Do-It-Yourself Network (DIY) on January
21st! You can catch a nice promo for the show on YouTube now, thanks to
the DIY Network, which you'll find on our News
page! We'll be talking about the show this week on our BRAND
NEW FORUMS, as well as our Blog
and also on Facebook,
so come join in the conversation and let us know what you think of the show
after it airs (and please note that the show airs at the same time on
both coasts, starting at 11:00 p.m. ET and 8:00 p.m. PT!) The show will
actually debut in February, so we're excited to
catch our first glimpse into Bronson's world of vintage home restoration (which
we suspect he approaches with much more care than he did as Balki with Cousin
Larry in episodes like This Old House and The Gazebo!) Did
we mention our new Forums??
Yes, after much soul-searching we decided to set up a new forum system for
everyone, and you can register online now! We hope to see many of our
regulars, as well as some new fans, join us in our fun discussions of the
series! And to help celebrate, we've even added some new Icons
for you to use! Get out of the city!! Now, let us not neglect our regular duties in announcing that this
week we
also have our usual updates, including a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new kernel of knowledge on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added an article from an unknown publication about
Bronson being Born in the USA to our Articles
section. And we've added Rebeca's 1989 appearance on the television game
show Couch Potatoes to our Interview
section. And we've added Mark's 1989 appearance on the United Cerebral
Palsy Starathon to our YouTube Channel! And finally, the episode we will be discussing this week on our
brand new Forums
(did we mention they were new?) is the second entry into the season-ending four-episode story arc from
season seven, Chicago Suite. Are you in the mood for a Woody
Woodpecker marathon, Cousins? Well, of course you are! Don't be
ridiculous!! But that's not all! We're also re-introducing our Topic
of the Week, and this week's topic is timely: "What
do you think about the idea behind Bronson's new show and will you be watching
it?" We'll see you on the Forums,
Cousins!
January
10, 2012 - Welcome back,
Cousins! Having you join us week after week makes us happier than a tick
on a sheepdog! This week we're bringing you all-new updates, starting with
our usual fare: a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new interesting "FACT!" (spoke a la Larry Appleton)
on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page (don't forget to check out Sam Anderson in this week's episode of Work
it!) And check out our News page for
information about Bronson's upcoming new series for the DIY Network, The
Bronson Pinchot Project! We have also published a photograph taken of Bronson and Mark at
the American Comedy Awards to our Articles
section. And we've embedded Bronson's 1989 interview on Attitudes
to our Interviews section. We have now added Mark's introductory segments
from the 1988 special Moscow Circus to our YouTube
Channel. Now, we
have an issue with our And we will be
continuing our debate this week on our
Forums which we must address. After having issues during our hosting
package move last month I only now realized I no longer have access to the
Control Panel or Administrator Settings. Kind of hard to manage an online
forum without those! Because the forums have been fairly buggy from the
outset, and because our hosting company, which originally offered this version
of forum as part of their hosting package but sadly no longer supports it, we
will be exploring alternatives to the current Forum system. For the most
part, our Facebook
Group will likely take the place of the forums in the future. In
addition to this, we are adding a brand new Blog for both news and episode
discussions! So we will try this for a while to see how it works
out. The current Forums will remain in place for fans to view past posts
and continue to talk if they like, but note that they will no longer be
maintained and if they go wonky, that will be that. Sorry for the
inconvenience, Cousins, but we hope we can set up enough alternative venues of
discussion to keep our close family of Cousins together and communicating!
So with that being said, we will allow last week's episode discussion of the beginning of the season seven
quadruple episode season final storyline . . . Or Get Off the
Pot to
continue on the Blog so you can have your say and we can test
these new options! Definitely let
us know what you think of the changes and which you prefer!
January
3, 2012 - Happy New Year,
Cousins! We hope you are having a wonderful year so far! We're going
to try to help make it a good year with lots of fun updates for you, so hold on
to your cats! Let's start the New Year right with our usual updates,
starting with a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new factoid on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page (sadly we missed announcing Sam Anderson's appearance on Hawaii-Five 0
here on the site, although we did mention it on Facebook, but you have a chance
to catch him on television yet as he's appearing in the January 10th episode of
the new series Work It!) We have also added an article from an unknown
publication (most likely a teen magazine) circa 1986 which explains how
Bronson would give a secret wink to his fans in public. And Cousin Cheryl
amazingly spotted Rebeca Arthur in a commercial recently, and you can read more
about that on our News page! And then we have
added Bronson's very funny Movietime interview which the fabulous Richard Blade
conducted with Bronson Pinchot in 1989 to our Interviews section! And to
keep you in the New Year spirit we have added Mark's segments with Tracy
Scoggins from the 1987 Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Special to our
YouTube Channel. And finally the episode we will be discussing this week on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the beginning of the season seven
quadruple episode season final storyline . . . Or Get Off the Pot.
The season seven episodes leading up to Balki and Mary Anne's wedding sparks
some interesting reactions from fans, both negative and positive, so we will be
going over these four pivotal episodes sequentially in the coming weeks!
This should be a very exciting year, Cousins, and we're especially looking
forward to the debut of Bronson's new house renovation series, The Bronson
Pinchot Project, for the Do It Yourself Network, scheduled to debut on
January 21st! Be sure to follow us on Facebook
for all the latest info about this exciting debut!
December
20, 2011 - It's that time of
year again, Cousins! Time to pass the Christmas bota bag and to roast
radishes over an open fire. Or maybe you'll feel inspired to invite that
co-worker no one likes to your annual Christmas party! To help you
celebrate the holidays he Perfect Strangers way, we offer these cheerful updates
for you, including a brand new Christmas-themed Photo of the
Week, a new tidbit of information for our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added the TV Guide
announcement of Family Matters in their 1989 Fall Preview Issue to our Articles
section. We have also embedded Bronson's 1990 interview on Regis
and Kathie Lee to our Interviews section. And what better way to
spend Christmas than by watching the next two and final segments of Mark's co-hosting duties
with John Stamos for the 1988 McDonald's Charity Christmas Parade
on our YouTube Channel, where you can now find Part Five and
Part Six! Finally, the episode we will be
discussing this week on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season five episode Home Movies.
Will you be taking any home movies during this upcoming holiday season?
Hopefully you won't have to resort to hiring a bunch of actors to make it really
'pop!' We will be taking next week off for the holidays but will return on
January 3rd for another New Year of fun! Happy Birthday, Cousins!
December
13, 2011 - At this time of
year it's always nice to remember Mama Bartokomous' advice to Balki, in that a
gift of love must go to the one who needs it the most. So with that in
mind, perhaps you would consider picking up a stuffed sheep and donating to one
of your local charities as part of our Boochies
for Babies program? It doesn't have to cost much and even just one
boochi for one child could make their Christmas! In the meantime, as you
prepare your cheese puffs and make sure the fireplace is just right for your
holiday parties, take a moment to check out our updates for the week, including
a new Photo of the
Week for you to view, a new factoid for our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We also have added a small article about Mark's appearance on stage
in Laughter on the 23rd Floor from the New
York Times to our Articles section. And we've also embedded Bronson's
1990 interview on CBS This Morning, in
which he talks about working on Zoya's Apartment, to our Interviews
section. And as we count down to Christmas, we are continuing with Mark's guest appearance co-hosting the 1988 McDonald's Charity Christmas Parade
with John Stamos on our YouTube Channel. Finally, the episode we will be
discussing this week on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season three episode You Gotta
Have Friends. With cold weather upon us, do you know how to make hot
cocoa at your local night mart? Better practice, Cousins! And don't
forget the marshmallows (mini or large, your choice!)
December
6, 2011 - Is it there yet,
Cousins? You know, the Christmas feeling? Okay, it's a little early
yet, but it's not too early to be thinking about our annual Boochies
for Babies drive! Last year we waited too late and by the time we
finally took our boochies to be donated right before Christmas all the Toys for
Tots bins had already been picked up! So keep this in mind if you plan to
buy a cuddly boochi to donate! And as always, if you do give away some
boochies feel free to send us a picture of them to add to the website!
Thanks, Cousins! As for our usual updates, we have the usual new Photo of the
Week for you to enjoy, a new tidbit of information for our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added an interesting photo of Mark Linn-Baker with
Deborah Rush from a 1993 play they did entitled The Largest Elizabeth in the
World for Vassar College which was featured in the New
York Times. We have also added the classic Entertainment
Tonight interview with Bronson and Mark as they worked together on
Bronson's new show, The Trouble With Larry, to our Interviews
section. And we
have added the next segment of Mark's guest appearance co-hosting the 1988 McDonald's Charity Christmas Parade
with John Stamos to our YouTube Channel. And finally, the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season two episode Since I Lost
My Baby. What do you think, Cousins? Was this an attempt to spin
off the Twinkacettis into their own show? And how do you think a show with
them would have worked out? We're curious to know what you think!
November
29, 2011 - Okay, Cousins, we
hope that if you have decided to diet after indulging in TV dinners this
Thanksgiving that you won't have to resort to hiding donuts on your lamp to
break the monotony of fish eye soup! Take your mind off your hunger by
perusing our weekly updates instead! This week we have a brand new Photo of the
Week for you to enjoy, a new factoid on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added a short article about Mark's appearance in the
made-for-TV movie Going to the Chapel from the New
York Daily News to our Articles section. And we have also added an
interview with both Bronson and Mark from a 1990 episode of CNN
Showbiz Today in which they talk about what they're doing on their summer
hiatus from Perfect Strangers, to our Interviews section. And we
have the next segment of Mark's guest appearance co-hosting the 1988 McDonald's Charity Christmas Parade
with John Stamos to our YouTube
Channel. And finally the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season seven entry Missing.
Watch out for those marbles, Cousins!!
November
22, 2011 - A word of advice
before we begin, Cousins. When preparing your Thanksgiving Day dinner, be
sure your wife doesn't misplace her wedding ring anywhere near the turkey, be it
alive or . . . well, common sense will prevail. We're back this holiday
week with all-new updates, including a brand new Photo of the
Week, a new tidbit of information on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and up-to-date listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We also have an article from the L.A.
Times which talks about the 1993 fall schedule of shows, including The
Trouble with Larry. Plus we've embedded a behind the scenes look at
one of Mark's solo projects entitled The Big
Shebang to our Interviews section. And just when you thought you
couldn't get enough of holiday parades (or maybe just when you thought you
couldn't take another minute of them!) we begin Mark's co-hosting appearance on
the 1988 McDonald's Charity Christmas Parade (along with fellow Miller /
Boyett star John Stamos) on our YouTube
Channel, and this one will run through
Christmas! And finally the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be season four's Come Fly With Me, a
cautionary tale about not mixing spleen with dairy products, something I know
all of you will keep in mind this holiday season!
November
15, 2011 - Hello,
Cousins! And welcome back for another week of updates about Balki and his
Cousin Larry! This week we have our usual fare, including a

Linn-Baker on Regis Philbin to our Interviews

appearance on Foley's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Houston,
which you can now watch on our YouTube Channel (and tune in next week for the
start of a whole new holiday parade, Cousins!) And finally the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the only flashback episode of the
series, the season four outting College Bound. As far as flashback
shows go, how would rate this one, Cousins? See you next week!
November
8, 2011 - Hi! (In
stereo!) We know you're anxious to get to this week's updates, Cousins, so
let's not beat around George Bush! This time around we have a

discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season two entry, Beautiful
Dreamer. Don't forget, Cousins, even if you're having trouble getting
to sleep . . . hold out for the Princess!
November
1, 2011 - Did you get any
good treats while trick or treating last night, Cousins? Any pig snout
with saffron or goat doodles? Well, don't despair . . . you can get your
Myposian fix right here with our weekly updates! This week we're offering a
brand new Photo of the
Week, a new factoid on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, as well as updated listings on the What's On
Television?
page. And we're very pleased to let you know that Cousin
WhitLovesBalki0327 has finished the exciting story A

Weekly talking about ABC's Friday night lineup of shows to our Articles
section. And we have embedded Bronson's hilarious 1995 interview on Late
Night with David Letterman to our Interviews section (this is the
classic "hair" appearance!) And we are back with part two of
Bronson's co-hosting duties for the Foley's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Houston,
which we've added to our YouTube
Channel. And finally the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season six entry, Duck Soup.
Just don't say that word . . . you know the one . . . or feathers will fly!
October
25, 2011 - We hope you're all
ready to party with your marathon of horrible movies and your relaxation tapes
to calm down afterwards . . . repeat after me . . . "I am a
Halloween!" No tricks, only treats here as we bring you the latest
batch of updates, including a
brand new Photo of the
Week, a new tidbit of information on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page and updated listings on the What's On
Television?
page. If you are a regular visitor to our Facebook
page you may know that Bronson recently did an interview on Stipko Live! to
talk about some of his movie roles and also his upcoming restoration series for
DIY and HGTV (which is scheduled to debut in January 2012) and you can find the
links to that on our News page. We have also
included a 1997 preview of Meego from Total TV
to our Articles section. And we have embedded Bronson's 1994 interview on Late
Night with David Letterman to our Interviews section. And with the
start of the extended holiday season over the next two months, we have the first
installment of Bronson co-hosting the Foley's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a several
week-long addition to our YouTube
Channel which, appropriately, will take us into Thanksgiving (and because it
would be too difficult to just pull out Bronson's part, we will be posting the
entire parade!) And to
keep you in the Halloween mood the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season seven spooky entry, Fright
Night. And remember to never be rude to a ghost . . . they’re
a lot like alligators. They’re fun to have around the house just as long as
they’re in a good mood.
October
18, 2011 - Well, Cousins,
it's almost time for that date which Lydia loathes so much (not being able to
condone any holiday which encourages people to wear black and orange
together.) But until then we have some fun updates for you this week,
including a
brand new Photo of the
Week, a new interesting piece of trivia on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page and completely updated listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added the cast page from the Playbill for Love
Letters when Bronson co-starred with Amanda Plummer in 1991. And
we have added another appearance by Bronson on Late
Night with David Letterman from 1991 to our Interviews section.
Plus we have added another interview with Bronson from Entertainment Tonight
which covers the making of Second Sight to our You Tube
Channel. And finally the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season four finale, Wedding Belle
Blues. (It's very important to remember what the sword in the Myposian
wedding ceremony is used for, otherwise you might have a crowded honeymoon!)
October
11, 2011 - Well, I'll be
snookered! Is it time again for more fun updates, Cousins? You bet
your bibbibabkas it is! This week we have our usual fare, including a
brand new Photo of the
Week, a new factoid for you to learn about on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page and updated listings on the What's On
Television?
page. We have also added a not so flattering 1993 review from Entertainment
Weekly for The Trouble With Larry (and if you wonder why we sometimes
post unfavorable reviews for various projects the P.S. cast have been in, it's
because we feel they are historically significant, if only to show how far off
the mark some of these reviewers really can be! I know our members will
agree that The Trouble With Larry was a very funny, if somewhat
misunderstood, sitcom.) We have also embedded Bronson's 1990 interview on Late
Night with David Letterman to our Interviews section. And we have
added a very funny and interesting interview with Bronson, as well as a
behind-the-scenes look at the making of Second Sight from Good
Morning, America, which also features veteran P.S. director Joel Zwick, to
our YouTube Channel. And finally the episode we will be
discussing on our Forums'
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season six entry, Hocus Pocus.
What won't Larry do to get an exclusive interview with ex-British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher?
October

March
29, 2011 - Well, load my
website and call me revamped! It took a lot longer than we anticipated,
but the newly redesigned website is finally up and running! You'll notice
some big changes right off the bat . . . the frames page with the links is now
gone, which will make it easier for search engines to index us properly.
You will now find all the links in our handy menu at the top of every
page. And the darker buttons indicate which section of the site you are
currently visiting. The other thing you'll notice that's changed is we are
no longer posting videos on the website itself. Instead we will continue
to add videos to our YouTube Channel and embed many of those within the website so
you will be able to find and view videos more easily. We will add videos
over time and alert you to newly embedded clips each week. Now as you may
well know, Perfect Strangers turned 25 years old on March 25, 1986, and
we were very excited when the folks at TVSquad.com
wrote up a really nice then-and-now story about the show and included a link to
us, so a big welcome to all the Perfect Strangers fans who may be
visiting us for the very first time! We update the website every Tuesday
and link to the changes here on the Updates page
(previous members please note that this is a new URL, so reset your
bookmarks!) This
is where you will want to come first each week when you visit! This week
we have added some fun new stuff for you, including a brand new Photo
of the Week (note that this is now featured on it's very own page within the
Photos section!), a new tidbit of information on our Tell
Me Something I Don't Know page, and updated TV listings in our What's On
Television? section.
We have also added a cover from the TV Guide section of the Sacramento
Bee from August 1989 to our Articles section. And you will find newly
embedded interview videos from YouTube in our Articles section . . . each
section has both Articles and Interviews so you can browse by subject, and you
can find the videos we've embedded so far under Bronson's,
Mark's and the general Perfect
Strangers' interview sections. We have also added Issue
#19 of the original P.S. I Love You! to our Newsletters section. And
finally we have added a very cute interview with Bronson Pinchot on Good
Morning, America from 1987, shortly after Bronson received his Emmy
nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, to our YouTube
Channel! Not sure how we neglected to put this one up earlier, but
here it is now! And speaking of Bronson, if you have any questions for
Bronson you'd like to ask, Cousin Lucy at BronsonPinchot.org
will be resuming a Q&A section with Bronson, so get your questions in
via our Fan Forum! And while you're there, be sure to put your two cents
in on our Weekly Episode Discussion Board! Since we've already discussed
the very first episode, we'll reminisce by discussing the second episode of the
series, Picture This. And as you look through the new site, be sure
to let us know if you find any broken links or bugs which need fixing! Now
go on with you!

the Thing. Just don't say the word "bridge!" We will

Anniversary, but we will keep you up to date with our progress on our Forums and
on our Facebook Group
as well! Now go on with you!

Wedding in which Balki says he's always dreamed if being in a police
line-up . . . ah, but didn't he say the police let him stand in the line-up back
in the episode Life Savers? Good spotting, Cousin Dabzzygirl!!

January
4, 2011 - It's time to sing
in the New Year, Cousins, with a bit of the Hongi Bongi (so we can negotiate our
way through this coming year) and maybe a little Elefday
ho hoo ho ho hoo ho (we can always use a bit of hope!) It's an exciting
year, Cousins, because 2011 will mark the 25th Anniversary of Perfect
Strangers! Wwowww! We hope to bring you some fun things to help
commemorate this occasion! But in the meantime we have our usual updates,
including a new Photo of the Week, a new tidbit of information on our Tell

also to find out how you can purchase and download many of the audio books
Bronson has narrated from Audible.com! And we continue with Bronson's 1987
appearance on Saturday Night Live on our Video page with a very strange sketch entitled The Life of Golda Meir.
And we have added Mark's Nutri Grain commercial to our YouTube Channel (maybe
you can resolve to eat a healthier breakfast every morning this year?)
Finally, the episode we will be discussing this week on our Forum's
Weekly Episode Discussion board will be the season two episode Hello, Baby.
What better way to bring in the New Year than watching the boys help to bring a
new life into the world? Happy New Year, Cousins, and here's wishing each
and every one of you a happy and healthy 2011!
