History YMMV / PerfectStrangers

** Scott Spencer Gordon also wrote an episode. Gordon is best known for co-creating ''Series/CityGuys''.

* ValuesResonance: "Sexual Harassment in Chicago" has a magazine editor named Olivia make a pass at Balki and then threaten his job when he refuses her advances. The episode makes it clear that what this woman is doing is wrong and that sexual harassment is unacceptable. What makes this episode especially great is that it came out in 1987, while a lot of fiction back then and now treats [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale harassment or abuse of men by women as acceptable or funny]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Balki shaking Larry back and forth like a rag doll in "Assertive Training" isn't so funny when you think about the fact that while filming this scene, Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker accidentally injured each other.

'''Balki''': This isn’t an inflatable woman?\\

-->'''Balki''': You know, I really admire you.
-->'''Larry''': Why is that?
-->'''Balki''': Well, because first, you're willing to give up your bedroom to a woman I hardly know.
-->''(Larry looks at Balki in surprise)''
-->'''Balki''': ... and then for me, your friend, you're willing to sleep on the hot side of the bed.
-->''(Larry begins to lie down, then thinks about it and sits back up again.)''
-->'''Larry''': What do you mean, the hot side of the bed?
-->'''Balki''': Well, about 6:00 in the morning... see that little hole in the drapes? The sun comes through that and bores a hole right through your head like a laser beam.

-->'''Larry''': Why do you have peanuts in your pocket?
-->'''Balki''' ''(lying, motioning to his other pocket)'': Because I have a squirrel in this one.
-->'''Larry''': I had to ask.

-->'''Balki''': Cousin! You are a man repossessed!
-->'''Larry''': And ''loving it!''

-->'''Balki''': We can't bump the bibi-babka ditty, it's part and parcel of the point-by-point process of baking bibi-babkas!
-->'''Larry''': I understand it's part and parcel of the point by point process of baking bibi-babkas, Balki, buddy, ''but''... we gotta cut some corners. We're talking mass production here.
-->'''Balki''': Don't bring religion into this! You can't bake bibi-babkas without belting the bibi-babka ditty! If you drop the damn ditty, you're doomed!

** In 'Lifesavers, Balki is tethering a sleeping Larry to the table so he doesn't sleepwalk and fall out the window. Then he notices that Larry is awfully still. Balki is so worried and upset that he tries checking Larry's heartbeat and breath. It turned out that Larry was still alive, but so deeply asleep that it made poor Balki fear the worst.
