Season 1 Opening/End Credits - Perfect Strangers

[usedfuzzbox]

Haha, loved this as a kid!

Bronson Pinchot in BHC was freaking awesomely funny too....

[TheGreyGentleman]

Awesome music, awesome show

[livinlarge18]

It's a shame that Perfect Strangers isn't as popular as Family Matters If they can air Family Matters,SBS and Full House then they can air Perfect Strangers

:( memories 5/5***************

I love this theme song, it's pretty uplifting and wouldn't be hard to work with as a stand alone tune. Miss the good days of television before "reality" TV and British snob produced talent shows came into existence.

[kingofthe90s]

William Nelson Baker, is he related to

actor Mark Linn-Baker???

[TorinoKitty]

That's Mark's father.

[kingofthe90s]

Oh, because I only saw the 1990-1993

seasons back when I was a little kid

plus I had a friend who was a child actor

and we always watch this show.

Also that George Lopez actress named

Belita Moreno is also in the show too,

as a guest star in 1986s' seasons, then

became part of the show in the 1990s'

seasons.

they never really said why he was leaving home to go to chicago, did they? larry I soeak of.

[TorinoKitty]

He wanted to become a photographer/photojournalist; he also wanted to move out because he wanted his own space away from his huge family. Larry eventually became a reporter at the Chicago Chronicle.

[stndrds79]

no comments about the music?? this is one of the best themes around!!

[LyonPryde1080p]

It's almost like a full song. Maybe the best opening song ever?

[ruizdealda1985]

this is the beatiful sitcom of the world

[cousinbalki]

Best sitcom ever!

[blaqice88]

Lionel Richie should've sang the theme song to this show because it sounds a lot like "Dancing On The Ceiling", which came out the same year as this show (1986).

[redsoxfan426]

Too bad they couldn't have also shown the Twin Towers in the New York shots

[BarrettTV]

the show took place in chicago..not NYC

[mrceleb2006]

The original Lorimar closing logo is missing.

[tazz765]

If you buy the Season 1 and 2 DVDs the Lorimar logo is present on all of the episodes.

[mrceleb2006]

Oh, I see. Thanks for the info.

[megamanj2007]

Are you talking about both the Lorimar "Line of Doom" and the Lorimar-Telepictures logos?

[mrceleb2006]

Yes.

[gameshowguy2000]

By the "Line of Doom" are you talking about the logo where "Television" is seen on the red line zooming in?

[mrceleb2006]

Nope; the late 1970s "Line of Doom" with the dreamy Jack Elliott/Allyn Ferguson tune.

[megamanj2007]

You're thinking of the later Lorimar Television "Marble Background" logo from 1988/89-93. The original "Lorimar Line of Doom" is basically the early version of the "Marble Version" of the Lorimar Television logo on a scary black background w/ the same animation as its successor.

[megamanj2007]

Aaaaaaaah! Finally somebody on YT has the closing credits from the early seasons of "Perfect Strangers." Thanks, TorinoKitty!!!

[cubbie72]

The next episode from season one, Happy Birthday, Baby, was actually in production when Mark learned of his father's death, and was even noted in the closing credits of that episode. Considering the stress and emotion that Mark was going through, his hilarious performance in that episode appears virtually miraculous in hindsight.

[Kelonzi]

Oh wow. :) I KNEW I remembered a longer version of the opening credits! THANK YOU!

[journeyloaded]

Also, I much prefer this intro to the later one.

[TorinoKitty]

Me, too. I like the remixed theme that popped up in season 3, but the action shots around Chicago didn't grab me the way the two previous season's openings did.

[journeyloaded]

Ohhhhhhh I was wondering which episode Bronson was referring to in that article about crying on set when Mark's dad died...
