Belky and Cousin Larry have great chemistry together.
If you don’t mind the stupidity of 80s sitcoms this would be for you.
Cool opening music makes a difference. Bronson Pinchot (?) plays his character very comically.
I saw a few episodes and thought, 'One day this silly show will seem antediluvian." That time has come and gone
The plot twists were predictable and the characters didn't fully engage me, making the film feel just average.
Not bad at all! Does not get to the level of good though.
Don’t be ridiculous … this was a great 80s sitcom.
For what it is, and when it is, it’s not bad. Before there was Urkel, there was Balki, who was beloved but tons more charming than an Urkel.
Its dumb fun cousin
Nope not for me
