from the Palisadian-Post,
From courtroom sitcom Night Court to courtroom reality television Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown, Larry Lyttle developed viable concepts that have endured on the increasingly fickle television airwaves....
Lyttle spent eight years as vice president of creative affairs for Warner Bros. Television until 1990. While a development executive, he launched such shows as Murphy Brown, Life Goes On and China Beach. But it all began with a sitcom called Night Court....
The next year brought Growing Pains, which also ran till 1992 and was ABC’s answer to NBC’s popular Family Ties when it started.
“Everyone thought it was a total joke,” Lyttle remembers. “Then it became the number-one show on TV.” Growing Pains, of course, made a TV star out of Kirk Cameron, and, in its last season, introduced America to a young actor named Leonardo DiCaprio....
“There are a lot of things I want to do,” Lyttle concludes. “A few years ago, a few of us tried to buy the [NHL team] Pittsburgh Penguins. I’d like to purchase a hockey team. I have a passion for sports.”
