Storyline
Balki Bartokomous, a sheepherder from the small Mediterranean Greek-like island of Mypos, travels to the United States in search of his relatives. He finds his cousin, Larry Appleton - who has recently 'escaped' from his large-sized family and is reveling in the unaccustomed luxury of having his own room to himself. They end up sharing accommodation in Larry's apartment - even though the two cousins could not be more dissimilar. For, while Larry is panicky, hyperventilative, business-like and mercenary - Balki is placid, unharried, sunny-natured and idealistic. Written by David McAnally <D.McAnally@uq.net.au>

They need to add this show to TV Land's line-up, if they haven't already. This was a show that I'll always remember, every episode was hilarious and I was sad to see it go off the air. You can't help but remember all the hilarious situations that appeared on this show. A truly memorable sitcom they should re-run.
