The Bibbi-Babka Ditty

My sis and I used to love watching Perfect Strangers when we were kids. Our parents too. :) We still have some of the tapes of the show which we recorded when they aired it on local TV.



From Wiki:
Babka is a spongy yeast cake that is traditionally baked for Easter Sunday in Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Belarus, Ukraine and Western Russia. Darra Goldstein, professor of Russian at Williams College says "babka comes from baba, a very tall, delicate yet rich yeast-risen cake eaten in Western Russia and Eastern Poland." Traditional babka has some type of fruit filling, especially raisins, and is glazed with a fruit-flavored icing, sometimes with rum added. Modern babka may be chocolate or have a cheese filling.

They had a wonderful theme too:


If you look at the comments on this video, you'll see there's a longing for good, clean comedy on TV.

And finally - The Dance of Joy.


BTW the story revolves around Balki Bartokomous (who moves to the US from a Mediterranean island called Mypos where he used to be a professional sheep herder ) and his cousin Larry Appleton. More
