TV Shows - Odd Couple, The (TV series)
The Odd Couple is a television situation comedy broadcast from September 24, 1970 to July 4, 1975 on ABC. It starred Tony Randall as Felix Unger and Jack Klugman as Oscar Madison. It was based upon the play of the same name, which was written by Neil Simon.
Felix and Oscar are two divorced men. Felix is a neat freak while Oscar is sloppy and casual. They share the same New York City apartment, and their different lifestyles inevitably lead to some conflicts and laughs.

Boned??NEVER! This show is a total CLASSIC!! I have all 5 seasons on DVD & still enjoy watching the episodes. There's a slogan down here for certain pharmacy being "happy & healthy" (I always add to myself "..and bursting with love!" If you watch this show you probably get what I mean) -- Submitted By: (Katzi428) on April 16, 2013, 8:07 pm - (0 votes)

It never boned but I think it came close when Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King both appeared in one episode. -- Submitted By: (JayD) on March 8, 2012, 2:44 pm - (0 votes)

I'm voting "Never." It wasn't that ambitious a show, but it had a lot of legitimately funny moments, and Tony Randall and Jack Klugman were out of bed and dressed (metaphorically) for every episode. The old JTS site had a truckload of submissions with noteworthy gags selected from the show (Tony Randall, explaining to Jack Klugman why he is planning to confront Alex Karras with the news that he is "in love with" Karras's wife: "Love has made me strong." Klugman's response: "Strength has made him stronger!"). The show lost a step when it went to the Garry-Marshall-style three-camera format, but it still never jumped, uh, boned. -- Submitted By: (carlwilkerson) on February 24, 2012, 3:22 pm - (1 votes)

Oddly enough, this show improved when it went from being filmed in a closed set to being filmed in front of a live studio audience [at Randall's instance]. This is likely because both Randall and Klugman had been theater performers for decades and thrived with audience interaction! Then,too, since it was mostly set in a single apartment, it didn't suffer from an abrupt setting transfer. I'm writing this wondering why going to live audience improved for this show but ruined "Happy Days" produced by the same folks. Perhaps because the writers were willing to continue seeing Oscar and Felix as characters with potential with some basis in reality rather than as mere gimmicks who became increasingly cartoonish. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on November 17, 2011, 9:31 am - (0 votes)

I saw many odd couples in film and theater. Klugman and Randell were the gold standard. -- Submitted By: (jonkaplanseaver) on May 9, 2011, 1:30 am - (1 votes)

I don't think this show ever boned. It was pretty much the same thing all the way through which may be the secret to great tv. -- Submitted By: (lrbloom) on April 15, 2011, 3:21 am - (1 votes)
