Larry and Balky = Bert and Ernie?!

Eh? Eh? Can I get a witness? They just traded heads that’s all. For Sesame Street, Bert was the anal-retentive one, and the one with the oblong head. Ernie was the happy-go-lucky dude with the round noggin. Flip heads (oblong head = happy, and round head = anal) and you’ve got America’s hit sitcome from the eighties…Perfect Strangers.

Balky and Larry

People, this is the type of high-quality content that I provide for you day after day here at Fixpert.

    By the way, if you’re wondering what’s up with the last sentence in that post, for the last 2 weeks, I’ve been listening to the annual fund-drive on my local NPR station, so this is the type of narrative that I have running in the back of my head all the time.

    You need a new memory card for your TV - Larry & Balky went off the air when you were in … Williamsburg, I’d say.
