The broad ending is the kind of silly piffle that only the likes of Robin Williams could pull off, and the show's plethora of bawdy double entendres regarding the male anatomy is ill suited to a time period so accessible to young kids. All in all, though, it's a good start, the key being that both Pinchot and the writing are effortlessly witty. [25 Aug 1993, p.F10]

Indeed, with his mugging and childlike innocence, Pinchot is sort of cute, especially if your age hasn't yet reached double digits. [25 Aug 1993, p.90]

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]

Watching Pinchot flail through lousy punch lines and Cox endure ogling, you may find The Trouble With Larry not just not-funny, but actively depressing

Pinchot, given little to work with, is like Mork on Prozac, a quart-low Jerry Lewis. The trouble with Larry is it thinks it's a riot. Think again. [25 Aug 1993, p.3D]

How did this sitcom (using the word in its most expansive sense) ever make it on the CBS fall schedule?
