For the uninitiated, Perfect Strangers is an ABC sitcom that ran from 1986 to 1993 about the unlikely cohabitation of two distant cousins. Almost two decades since its cancellation, fans of the show are using the web to showcase loving and meticulous sculptures, paintings, and drawings in the likeness of the show’s kooky protagonists, Larry and Balki.

Some of these creations will make you so happy you will want to do the Dance of Joy!
