#the trouble with larry

[oldtvlover]

Today then the start of the little series The Trouble with Larry from 1993. There were only six episodes aired and hard to find completely. Never mind, the content was also not easy. Cast (all episodes): Bronson Pinchot - Larry Burton Courteney Cox - Gabriella Easden Alex McKenna - Lindsay Flatt Perry King - Boyd Flatt Shanna Reed - Sally (Easden Burton) Flatt and others Story: During his honeymoon, the irrepressible Larry Burton is dragged off into the jungle by a large-sized male baboon and is presumed dead - eaten by apes. However, defying all odds, Larry survives and, after many comic-strip-type adventures, returns home to re-establish himself as head of the household - little realising that his wife, Sally, has married the staid and conservative Boyd Flatt during the intervening ten years, and that she is now the mother of a bright and lively nine year old daughter. Larry's return home causes considerable upheaval and consternation for the family - not least being his subsequent attempts to woo a reluctant Gabriella, his former sister-in-law, who had taken a distinct dislike to him prior to his disappearance and is still definitely opposed to the idea of getting to know Larry on a more intimate basis. —David McAnally (taken from IMDB again) Episode 1 "The Homecoming" Larry returns home on a ship, after being presumed to be dead for ten years. His wife, Sally, has remarried to Boyd Flatt and has a daughter named Lindsay. She has an art gallery where her little sister Gabriella runs the business. This is where Larry shows and kisses the unexpected girl. After some explanation, Gabriella decides to take Larry home where her sister's family has a discussion about a not makable vacation because of the bank. Well, Boyd wants to take care of it and this is when Larry comes in, surprising everyone and making Boyd faint. After some introducing, Larry invites himself into his new family and stays, helping out whenever possible - only to cause more trouble. Episode 2 "Witless for the Prosecution" The Flatts have a new neighbor who works at the unappropriate hours and gets so on everyone's nerves. When Sally, Gabriella and Lindsay go over to talk with the English man named Carl, they fall for his charm. That, clearly, doesn't go well with Boyd and Larry who come up with a plan to sabotage the man's car at night. First they want to break the windows but then to let oil out. Boyd goes under it to do it, yet Larry being Larry flattens the tire with Boyd still under it. Only in the morning, they can free the man and again Larry disrupts a peaceful agreement, so it goes to the court. As Boyd waits for his lawyer who turns out to be Larry again, well, Larry can convince the judge that the neighbor is at fault here. The family is happy once again.

Episode 3 "The Vigilantes" There is some robbery in the neighborhood and Gabriella is one of the victim. The Flatts babysit a bird but well, it can't be killed. Never mind, back to the robbery, in Gabriella's home was also Lindsay's bike and it's gone now too. The parents try to soothe her girl, yet Boyd and Larry dress up as soldiers to do some street watching but it never comes to it. Gabriella decides to check on the art gallery and Larry follows, and it ends with both of them being caught. Some short time later, Larry can free himself and annoys Gabby with his behavior - until the robbers return and he can convince them to join their club. Back at home, Boyd, Sally and Gabriella are tied while Larry distracts the robbers with rubbish. It works well until he claps his hands and knocks out the fat lady. A bit later, he does so again and hurts Boyd in the bathroom. Ouch! Episode 4 "My Science Fair Lady" Lindsay has made a science project for her school and left in the fridge. Unfortunately, Gabriella and Larry while being their usual selves, the project ends up in Gabriella's mouth and stomach. She throws up while Lindsay is sad. Boyd and Sally try to help and more but Boyd points out to have won all his school projects. Later that night, Larry is also trying to help and so how Sally and Boyd find him - with his head in the microwave. Not helping. The same night, Larry and Gabriella try to get some molt from toilets (YIKES!) but even this idea ends up in some bad jokes. So, Lindsay creates a soda volcano and well, the teacher gives the medal to his son who made a map of Africa, and not later, Larry shows up as human robot. Oh boy, and embarrassing. As it turns out, the teacher helped his son and Larry turns up in the end with 'airbag underwear'. You don't wanna know, believe me.

Episode 5 "Rhinestone Cowboyd" Anniversary time for Sally and Boyd, yet Larry disrupts it in the morning by wearing a fur of a wild pig. Sally kisses him briefly by saying that life would have been different with him around. Still, Sally is annoyed that Boyd does the same every year for it and Boyd thinks it's romantic. Neither has the guts to tell the other the truth. Larry enlists Gabriella's help at the gallery, completely ignoring that she has a customer. In the evening then, Gabriella sees for herself how boring the anniversary is, so the next day they all go to a bar named "Darlene's" where Boyd appears in a silly cowboy outfit. Larry appears as two different people to give Boyd a way to shine but the owner lady beats him to it. Boyd gets punched and Sally revenges him and takes care of him. Oh, as a little gift, Larry and Lindsay have stolen a koala from the zoo which later attacks Boyd. Ouch! Episode 6 "The Angel of Death and Taxes" Boyd is doing the taxes for the family while they deal with a hot summer. Needless to say, Larry has his own fun with it. Unfortunately, Boyd has to announce that the family can't go to the Wacky World in Florida and writes the check for the IRS. Silly of him to give it to Larry who made some changes and the Flatts get a refund of 48,000 $ - which they spend on a holiday and many other stuff they always wanted. After coming home and all, Boyd gets a singing telegram which tells him that all they have in their home will be repossessed. Surely enough, Boyd faints. When he's back, he looks over the paper and realizes that Larry is at fault and so he kicks him out. Larry ends up in the gallery and try to convince Gabriella to go with him to the IRS. She does so and both appear dressed up as Boyd and Sally. Never mind, they get on the man's nerves so much and heat up his room that he has a heart attack. To his luck, the real Boyd and Sally come and save the man's life and frees them from their debts.

my favorite part about Dexter is that he never chills out. usually its like "oh mischievous character in conflict with main character for first movie. now there's friendship established mischievous character does not fuck with main character on account of mutual respect" but Dexter? hell nah. not even a chance. there is friendship and that does not change a damn thing Dexter is still out to fuck up your day Larry nap with one eye open

*THROWS MY LAMPNOLD FAMILY ART AT YOU*

Shriggy holding baby Nyx (My lampnold fanchild) :]

Larry cause I love the design I drew for him and him in general

My sugarcube, Kelly! (aka special one) --- And a closer look at Nyx-

He's a firefly and has four arms like his papa Shriggy. He also has stars on his body like Larry.

A gift for @i-have-no-idea-for-name !! I drew Star in my style! I like how it turned out tbh!

Man, it's been a while since I posted art on here. But I hope this makes up for it! I'll give a more detailed explanation on Nyx later!

Don: When you were in that monastery, do you think you figured anything out?

Larry: I remind you, I was thrown out of that monastery

Random Thought

So, a while back I posted a pic of all the Pokemon dudes that I like despite knowing basically nothing about Pokemon, and it's become a very shocking fact to me that despite their apparent popularity, the train dudes do basically nothing in their home game.

"I know, I know," he admitted with a small sigh: It was an extremely reckless thing to do, for him to have made a flying leap at Constance like that, to say nothing of him and his parents' plan to attack her with homemade crucifixes and stakes. There were so many ways their plan could have gone wrong, so many ways they could've failed...so many ways they could've been hurt-or worse...

"But...I just couldn't let you fight her on your own!" Randall insisted, as he took her hand to squeeze. "I...I just couldn't sit idly by, and neither could Ma or Pa! We had to take a risk, a...a gamble, because we were worried about you! We wanted to help you if we could, and I don't regret taking that risk for a second. And I'm sure if you asked my folks, they would tell you just the same."

In a way, he and his parents had the element of surprise on their side: He was sure Constance expected them to cower in the house, told to stay put by Emily...but he was also sure that, had Emily been (God forbid) killed by her, that Constance would've had no problem waiting the three mortals out-they'd have to leave the house at some point...

...and when they did, she'd be there.

"I know it was...a foolish thing to do," he admitted with a wry smile. "It was a big chance I took, but...I love you, Emily. I love you, and I don't want to lose you ever again. And if that meant putting my own life on the line to protect you, to give you a fighting chance to put that monster down for good...then so be it!"
