How this season is filed

Filed by Lana Reyes · Red Carpet Reality

Balki Bartokomous arrives from Mypos, does the Dance of Joy, and ABC's TGIF finds its fish-out-of-water engine. Bronson Pinchot's accent is the instrument; Mark Linn-Baker is the straight man who never quite recovers. Chicago cousin-comedy that spun off Family Matters and taught a generation not to be ridiculous.
