Hello, Larry premeired as a mid season replacement series on the NBC network starting in January of 1979 and ending in April of 1980, totalling thirty eight episodes over that short two season span. The series starred McLean Stevenson, Kim Richards, Joanna Gleason, Donna Wilkes (Season One, was replaced by. Krista Errickson in Season Two) and George Memmoli (Season One only). When Season Two began, new cast members, such as Ruth Brown, Fred Stuthman, John Femia and Meadowlark Lemon were added.
The series was created by producers of both Diff'rent Strokes and One Day at a Time. They even utilized some of the same writers from both of those TV shows for this TV show.
The series dealt with divorced father Larry Alder, who hosted a talk radio show dealing in psychology and was raising two daughters as a single father. The series was based around the life of Alder, his career and his raising of his two teenaged daughters after he and his wife divorced, which made him and his daughters move to Seattle Washington to start over. Much of the series dealt with how Alder dealt with the challenges of balancing his career and raising his two daughters. Later episodes dealt with him spending more time with his daughters while also still maintaining his carreer and his relationships with various people.
The series was canceled way too soon.
Hello, Larry was actually a very good show. It was funny, charming and bittersweet. The series was also well written and was also very realistic. It actually was a wonderful series and was severely underrated. Stevenson was superb in his portrayal of Larry Alder and also, his supporting cast turned in some good performances as well. Hello, Larry was a pretty funny show and it deserved more a chance than it did when the series was on the NBC network. NBC simply canceled this series way too soon. It never really got the chance that it deserved. It was funny and entertaining. Again, it deserved more of a chance on TV than it did during its initial run.
To clarify here, this series wasn't a spin-off of Diff'rent Strokes. The episodes that featured characters from both Diff'rent Strokes and this show were simply crossover episodes.
I used to watch thjis show myself as a child. I loved this show and watched it until it left the air.

This show could have been seen as the male equivalent of One Day At a Time. Only instead of a divorced mother raising two girls, it was a divorced father raising two girls. The only thing that was wrong with the show were the inane scripts that crippled the show from the start. The only memorable episode was the one in which the oldest daughter was caught with drugs that were planted on her. This episode was the showed what every parent goes through when they suspect that their child might be using drugs. However, this was the only memorable episode from an otherwise forgettable show.
This quasi-spin-off of Different Strokes brought well-loved McLean Stevenson back to the airways after his departure from MASH. This was one of the first to ACCURATELY portray a single father's struggles raising two young daughters. It never really developed a following, and the numerous scheduling changes made it difficult to find. This is an ideal candidate for TV Land.
Does anyone remember the call letters of the radio station where Larry worked? I've drawn a blank on this one item. As a matter of fact, I can barely remember the series. Obviously, this was not one of my father's favorites since he controlled the remote and only watched 2 or 3 episodes. Back then that was the way most families had to watch television. Also, we only had one set in the whole house. Therefore, my mom and I had to wait for dad to go out of town in order to watch anything with females, sex, or anything that was not sports or war related. My,how times have changed! We have only three people currently living in our house, but we have a total of five TV sets. Go figure!
"Hello Larry" was part of Fred Silverman's attempt to ruin, er, resurrect NBC from the ratings doldrums. Amongst other great works he begat "Supertrain," "Turnabout," "Diffrent Strokes," and "Hello Larry." Despite it's abysmal badness, the show ran for two seasons simply because so many of the network's offerings bombed that they had nothing better to run, a fact that beleagured network execs cheerfully admitted to. While the show was lousy and never drew good ratings (despite often being paired with "Diffrent Strokes") Mac at least was a "name" actor and supposedly a proven commodity. Poor McLean Stevenson, so loveable as the boob Henry on "M*A*S*H" never again found material as good. Unfortunately unlike fiascoes like "In the Beginning," "Condo," or even "The McLean Stevenson Show," "Hello Larry" ran long enough for people to remember it as the series that wouldn't die, and poor Mac is now probably as well remembered for being trapped in TV purgatory there than he will be for "M*A*S*H."

- AnecdotesThe show was considered a spin-off of Arnold et Willy (1978), but the connection wasn't explained until a few months after the premiere. Since both shows were produced by the same company, a cross-over episode with Larry Alder and Phillip Drummond as old army buddies from Korea was written to boost the show's ratings.
