PERFECT STRANGERS

TO DVD FOR THE FIRST TIME
FEBRUARY 12, 2008

Four-Disc DVD Set will Feature 28 Episodes From
the First and Second Season of the Emmy-Nominated Show
as Well as Enhanced Content



BURBANK, CA (October 17, 2007) – Culture clash has never been funnier than on the classic, hit comedy Perfect Strangers, which makes its highly-anticipated debut on DVD, February 12, 2008 from Warner Home Video (WHV). The DVD release will offer consumers the first two seasons of the three-time Emmy-nominated series. Retailing at $29.98 SRP, the set is comprised of four discs, which feature 28 fantastic episodes as well as hilarious bonus material.

Set in Chicago, Perfect Strangers focuses on the relationship of two distant cousins, whose personalities and life experiences could not be any more different. The series begins when high-strung Larry Appleton (Mark Linn-Baker, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) opens his apartment to cousin Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot, Step-by-Step), an idealistic, naïve shepherd from the fictitious island-nation of Mypos. New to America, Balki often misunderstands the culture, which leads to some delightfully hilarious situations. Color TV, game shows, singles bars, soda pop cans and even pink lemonade are some of the modern day oddities that amaze the innocent and lovable Balki, whose signature catchphrase, "Of course not, don't be ridiculous!" kept television audiences laughing throughout the show's lengthy and successful run. The series also stars Melanie Wilson (Family Matters) as Jennifer Lyons, Rebecca Arthur (Grace Under Fire) as Mary Anne Spencer, Ernie Sabella (Saved by the Bell, The Lion King) as Donald Twinkacetti, and Belita Moreno (George Lopez) as Edwina Twinkacetti.

Perfect Strangers originally premiered on ABC in 1986 and became an instant hit with viewers. The show aired for eight seasons and was nominated for three Emmy Awards. Currently, it is listed as the eighth most requested unreleased show on TVshowsonDVD.com.

Aside from featuring 28 episodes, the DVD set will also include a clip montage featuring the "Dance of Joy," a very popular recurring element of the series.

"For years consumers have been pleading to have Perfect Strangers released on DVD. We are delighted to make their wish come true with the release of the show's first two seasons on DVD," said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV & Special Interest Marketing. She added, "The combination of Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker starring as Balki and Larry created a brilliant comedic duo that delivered rich, hilarious slapstick comedy audiences of all ages could appreciate. We are excited to release this eagerly anticipated title and think it will be well received by consumers."

Perfect Strangers: The Complete First & Second Seasons will be available in a four-disc DVD box set from WHV on February 12, 2008 for $29.98 SRP. WHV will support the release of Perfect Strangers: The Complete First & Second Seasons with an extensive national online media campaign.
