Aged To Perfection

At long last, a huge injustice in the world of old television show libraries made available for consumer purchase has been corrected. Warner Bros. has finally began releasing Perfect Strangers on DVD. I credit this show for helping to shape me into the hilarious human being I am today and it's about damn time it became immortalized in a handy disc form. If you haven't heard already, Perfect Strangers Seasons 1 & 2 are now available for purchase in one attractive package. What's even better is the measly asking price for these 28 episodes is only $24.99! (I was able to score a set for $19.99 at my local Bullmoose Music store. Truth be told, I would have easily paid eight or ten times that price.)

Now you may be thinking to yourself, "Sure, Perfect Strangers was hilarious and fresh when I was a kid but what about now? Could it possibly hold up?" Well I am here to tell you, "Of course it does, don't be ridiculous!" The show has aged extremely well. The interaction between characters is as enjoyable as ever and the jokes still hold up some 20 years later. There was some genuine comedic talent involved in this show and I'm discovering a lot of things about now it that I didn't fully appreciate when I was younger.

But enough rambling; run out and buy it already! We need to band together to ensure they keep releasing future seasons of one of the best sitcoms the 80s had to offer!
