    The result is a chaotic debut that's high on energy, antics and sight gags and low on plausible situations and clever writing. [25 Aug 1993, p.39]

    Though featuring the comedic talents of Bronson Pinchot (formerly of the elliptical Perfect Strangers), Pinchot's latest primetime outing lacks anything more than a germ of a funny idea that essentially allows the actor to make like Robin Williams and do zany. [24 Aug 1993]

    The trouble with "The Trouble With Larry" is that all these jokes don't add up to many laughs. [29 Aug 1993, p.8C]

    Well, you won't find a much funnier lead than Pinchot, but even a comic genius needs something and someone with which to work. With the supporting cast offering no support at all, Pinchot pushes egregiously, until even this funny man isn't funny anymore. [25 Aug 1993, p.
