Courteney Cox, celebrated for her iconic role as Monica Gellar in 'Friends,' began her television career with lesser-known projects. Before becoming a household name, she appeared in an X-Men-esque NBC sci-fi series called 'Misfits of Science.' She also made guest appearances on popular 1980s shows like 'The Love Boat' and 'Murder, She Wrote.'
Fans might recall her roles as girlfriends on 'Family Ties' and 'Seinfeld.' However, prior to her 'Friends' stardom, Cox starred in a different, albeit less successful, sitcom titled "The Trouble With Larry." This CBS show was developed by former 'Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson' writers.
"The Trouble With Larry" starred Bronson Pinchot as Larry Burton, a man who mysteriously reappears after being absent for ten years. Larry's return complicates his wife Sally's life, as she has remarried and raised a nine-year-old daughter. Cox portrayed Gabby, Larry's former sister-in-law, in the series.
