FAQ

Just a guess, but based on how the show was scored I'd say someone in charge grew up in the late 80-90's. Of all the popular shows during that era, Perfect Strangers is probably the one show that faded into obscurity. Even Matt-Linn Baker and Bronson Pinchot kind of fell off the radar. Most of the other shows, like Growing Pains, Family Ties and Full House have remained in the social consciousness by being referenced occasionally. Leonardo DiCaprio, Micheal J Fox, the Olson Twins even the reboot of Full House have kept them relevant to some small degree. Perfect Strangers however hardly ever gets mentioned despite being immediately recognizable. That being said they probably got licensing rights for next to nothing and it's something people would notice along with the memories it invokes. "Cousin Larry App-Le-Ton"

Yes. The show is based on the novel "The Leftovers" by Tom Perrotta.

The people in white are the Guilty Remnant, one of a number of cults which have sprung up in the wake of the Sudden Departure. They want to serve as "living reminders" to those who wish to forget the importance of that day. As Patti explains to Kevin, their behaviors, such as dressing in all white and not speaking, are meant to strip away anything which might distract them from the importance of what happened. Their smoking helps demonstrate the unimportance of their individual lives. While they understand the health risks of smoking they do not care.

From a practical standpoint, these behaviors also help reinforce the cult's control over its members. Cults often use behavorial regimens which are designed to isolate members from the outside world and reinforce identification with the cult. Several of the Guilty Remnant's habits fall into this category, such as the communal living, the refusal to speak, and the distinctive dress.

Many dogs who saw their owners disappear during the "Sudden Departure" were so traumatized that they returned to a feral state of mind and are vicious to humans. Dean states that they are impossible to be re-domesticated and must all be killed as they pose a threat to humans and other animals.

The deer is a strong, majestic animal that continually finds itself trapped in unfortunate situations. It's a metaphor for Kevin - he feels confined and lost, only finding purpose when attempting to save others.
