This is the series’ pilot episode. Larry’s baggy new pants create awkward misunderstandings between Larry, Cheryl, and her friend. A movie-theater argument with a female ‘stranger’ leads to tensions between Larry and best friend Richard Lewis. Larry’s joking referral to Cheryl as “Hitler” (during a car speakerphone conversation with Jeff) causes Larry’s attempts to hide it from Cheryl — and to appease Jeff’s Holocaust-sensitive parents — to backfire disastrously. Kathy Griffin makes a cameo appearance.
