Perfect Strangers (TV)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Danza: Sam Anderson as Sam Gorpley.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Mr. Gorpley is Bernard from Lost.
    • Also Holland Manners from Angel.
      • Hey, why is Benny working at a newspaper in Chicago?
  • Recycled Script: "The King and I", where a hypnotist unsuccessfully tries to hypnotize Larry but accidentally hypnotizes Balki into going under whenever he hears a bell ring. It's taken beat-for-beat from the story of an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show.
  • What Could Have Been: The show was originally called "The Greenhorn" and paired Pinchot with comedian Louie Anderson. Things weren't really working out until Mark Lynn-Baker came along and showed great chemistry with Bronson.
  • Working Title: "The Greenhorn" was the original title.
