- Well, that explains who Jerry and Sylvia are (as to their purpose, I think
- they're just cronies of Dr. F), but not who Larry is. Larry is Dr. Lawrence
- Erhardt, who was the original assistant to Dr. F (in the good days, before
- Frank). He was played by Josh Weinstein, who also did the voice for Tom
- Servo (and Gypsy in the KTMA episodes). After the first season of MST
- on The Comedy Channel, Josh was replaced by Frank. *Sigh* I'm one of the
- VERY few people who not only like Josh, but actually prefer him over Frank.
- Since Comedy Central won't (or can't) play those old episodes any more,
- if you haven't seen any of the episodes with Josh, you probably never will.
