Sitcom characters named Larry - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone else ever noticed that many sitcom characters named Larry seem to be greedy and/or schemers?

For example:

Larry Tate - Bewitched
Larry Dallas - Three's Company
Larry Mondello - Leave It To Beaver
Larry Appleton - Perfect Strangers

Larry Appleton rocked! I LOVED Perfect Strangers growing up. It would be great if some station would bring it back. It's the only Miller-Boyett show that isn't in reruns. Well, that and The Hogan Family.

Larry Sanders - but I never watched the show so I don't know if he was greedy or a schemer!!

Larry David(Curb Your Enthusiasm) - now, this one I watched. I don't think he's greedy what he doesn't find trouble, trouble finds him!!

At least the first 2 seasons are on DVD. Anyone else remember the Peter Pan peanut butter jingles Mark Linn-Baker did back in the late 1980s?

Does this one count since The Three Stooges wasn't a sitcom?

Since I created this thread - and since the Stooges influenced so many sitcom actors - I say YES!!

Yes!! It was a short lived series that starred Bronson Pinchot as the Larry of the title. Of course we remember Bronson best as the cousin of another Larry!!!
