Larry really made some of these episodes.. while watching the first appearance of larry, i realized that his character has really changed throughout the show from slimy-jerk.. to really a good friend [while still maintaining a lovable jerk side to him] richard kline is one of the most unsung heroes of threes company. he and john played off eachother amazingly. i hope richard is involved with the second dvd.

I really love the Larry character! He is really funny b/c he is the friend you wish you never had in bad situations but at the same time adorable and funny.

I totally agree, I love the character of Larry.

One of my favorite Jack and Larry moments was in Maid to Order at the end when they are looking for the money. They both go under Jacks mattress, not there. Then Cindy tells them she hid the money in the kitchen, they start emptying out the cupboards, throwing food. Cindy tells them that she hid the money in her shirt and takes it out, and Its not all there. Cindy jets into the bathroom with Larry and Jack chasing her and Larry hopped on Jacks back.

I love that

awesome larry moment burley! one of my fav. larry moments is when larry shows up at the charity ball in now you see it now you don't, in a leisure suit. his entrance and crowd studio audience reaction is hysterical.. classic larry!

oh yea, drummer girl, you hit it right on the head with him being the guy in bad situations you don't want! but we love him-

Larry (Richard Kline) is probably the funniest sitcom actor EVER only next to THE GREAT JOHN RITTER OF COURSE SINCE RITTER IS NUMBER 1 ALL THE WAY AND NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO RITTER!!

sometimes i feel richard gets the shaft with the way media portrays tc. larry was on from season one till the the end.. yet still other stars are celebrated as the reasons why tc was such a succsess. sometimes it's the little things that really make something "big"

the character larry has really went through a transformation, and i think a bit of richard shines through towards the middle to end seasons when they really are comfortable using larry. i think a great actor just uses extensions of themselves to really propel a character, and in the show. it seems like they really let richard at the helm of larry, and it worked.. baby!

i would have much rathered a spin off with larry as the star, than threes a crowd. larry could have been a "swingin' single" ..and of course wackiness ensues. ah-vell

btcfan- i agree..!

The show wouldn't be the same without Larry.
He and John Ritter played really well off each other and he added a great presence to Three's Company.

Richard Kline being in an episode makes it much better as far as I'm concerned.

Richard Kline was great. I agree that he sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves.
