When Perfect Strangers abruptly left the air in April of 1992, Larry (Mark Linn-Baker) and Jennifer (Melanie Wilson) had become man and wife, but Larry's immigrant cousin Balki (Bronson Pinchot) had still not proposed to Jennifer's former roommate Mary Ann (Rebecca Arthur). And since the series did not return in the fall of 1992, viewers bemoaned the likelihood that the Balki-Mary Ann situation would never be resolved. Then, just as suddenly as it ended the previous April, Perfect Strangers returned in July of 1993 with five new episodes, which effectively tied up all loose plot strands. In this, the series' ninth and final season (or mini-season), we learn that not only has Balki popped the question, but he has gone so far as to wed his ever-loving Mary Anne. As a bonus, both Mary Anne and Jennifer are pregnant--and both go into labor in the same episode, Mary Anne giving birth in her driveway, and Jennifer achieving motherhood in the gondola of a runaway balloon! Happily, both babies are delivered successfully, and now Larry is the proud papa of son Tucker, while Balki dotes on his newborn boy Robespierre. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
