The character was a mistake - his only purpose was to get The Beav in trouble, and the best thing for the series was when he was written out.
I always liked Larry. I thought he was actually much more likable than Gilbert or Richard. They were okay too, but not as much as Larry.

I'm with Tim about Larry and felt he was much more likeable than Gilbert or Richard.

Madge Blake was good too as Larry's mother, although I think she was a bit too old to play his mother(no offence toward her). She was a fine actress and I did enjoy her.

I think all of Beaver's friends were kinda jerks who always would get him in trouble. :laugh: Then again, if Beav didn't get in trouble, there's no episode.
I disliked Larry and the way he was written. They made it sound as if his mother yelled at him all the time and when his father was at home, Larry always got hit with the strap. It got old

His mother always mentioned that the father was in Cincinnati I guess for business trips. Sounds like he spent quite a bit of time away from home. I still liked Larry even though his mother was always getting headaches, but I don't think it was always because of him. She just seemed like someone who worried about things a lot.

I noticed that the Season 1 DVDs are very grainy compared to the other five seasons. The indoor scenes are especially bad.

The show is almost 70 years old. I did not notice that when I got the shout releases
