I'm sure Bronson Pinchot could use the residual checks. I ran into him the other day and I was telling him how much I loved the show, and Risky Business etc. He got all snippy: "Look, pal...do you want fries with that or not?"

Don't get too excited. It's part of "TVLAND Kitschen", so it will only air for a couple months. So enjoy while you can.
I was excited to hear that Soap and Square Pegs were coming until I found out they were getting stuffed into "Kitschen" too.

Don't forget his Oscar-worthy performance in True Romance.

Can anyone provide some times (EST) when this show will be on TV Land?

I haven't seen an episode in ages so I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks.

Thanks a lot night wing!

Does anyone know why they are ONLY airing four episodes? Is this just a test to see if people want to see this show in a weekly lineup? I just find it funny that a network will resurrect a show from obscurity for four days and four episodes only to throw it back into oblivion.

Just a guess, but my Tivo is just showing those four episodes because there's only schedule data etc.. for two weeks ahead of time. I can't speak for the original poster who posted the episodes and times, but if they have a Tivo that's the only info that is being given right now.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

And I get TV Land now...super! I missed it so much...it was on USA Mornings which was good, then vanished...there was like one night of non-stop episodes on Nickelodeon like one or two summers ago (I think two)...and then nothing. So sad. Even two episodes a week is a good dosage of Balki and Larry!

I used to watch this show all the time, it was a favorite of mine when it was one. I last saw it in the middle of the afternoon on some cable channel like USA, TNT, TBS or something. Doesn't hold up to when I was younger.

Actually it looks like Bronson Pinchot is getting a lot more work than Mark Linn-Baker.

i just did a search on yahoo tv to get the times/dates. so that is also why there is only 4. they could be only airing 4 though so who knows.

i just don't want season 1 episodes. i already have all of them on tape except the pilot from when nick aired a few episodes in 2000 i believe. i want season 3 when larry starts working at the chrinicle! so i hope TVLAND sees that everyone is watching and puts it on during the day or something.

It was soo much better when they were working for the newspaper. I didnt like the ones when they worked in the dept. store nearly as much.

I love their boss at the Chronicle.


Which of the GF's would you rather do? I like Balki's GF..she was such a weirdo I bet she'd be a freak in bed.

i agree. i don't even think as a kid i started watching until they were working at the newspaper. so tvland.. you better get to the third season.

I will definitely check this out.

My favorite episode EVER was the one where they were taking martial arts classes and Balki ambushed Larry in their apartment.

Good times...

Anybody watch it last night? I totally forgot even though I was awake and in a semi-conscious state of mind. Anyway, I set the Tivo for tonight!
