ShadeGrenade I saw 'The Odd Couple' television series before the movie. I took to it straight away. Tony Randall played 'Felix Unger' a man so fussy about his personal habits ( he insists on washing playing cards before they're used in poker ) that one day his wife decides she can take no more, and throws him out. So he moves in with friend 'Oscar Madison', a slobbish sports commentator. Naturally, their personalities clash, but they remain friends despite their constant bickering. Randall and Klugman were perfectly cast, and thanks to some top-notch scripts ( some by Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson ) were able to successfully develop the characters. Monica Evans and Carole Shelley reprised their movie roles as the cuckoo 'Pigeon Sisters' - Cecily and Gwendolyn. My favourite episode was the one where Oscar tells the Pigeons the story of how he and Felix met for the first time - they were doing jury service, and after being trapped in an elevator with Felix for some hours the accused made a full confession!
gazzo-2 I really liked this from the supporting cast to the leads to the theme music. What a classic, underrated production. And to hear that Tony Randall has died today how sad. I always liked him too as well as Jack Klugman. You know they always are going to be remembered for this one.I think that they were the best fit for the characters, even beyond Matthau and Lemmon. Sometimes the TV show IS better than the movie.I hope TV land will give this another shot and put it onto syndication soon too, they deserve it. Certainly Happy Days and Gilligan are on more than enough.****
peacham As far as Sit Coms go "The Odd Couple" is number one on my list of favorites...edging out even "M.A.S.H." and "All In The Family".Randall and Klugman make this show great...both are perfectly attuned to their roles.Its one of the few times a Television show attained the high quality of its source material. While Randall and Klugman's great chemistry and comic timing make the show there is strong support from the other cast members.In particular Al Molinaro's mystified Murry The Cop,Gary Walberg's Grouchy Speed and Brett Somer's cynical Blanche Madison. May the sun never set on "The Odd Couple"!
Wayne Huffman Quite a few movies were made into television sitcoms. In my opinion, there are only two that were better than the movies - M*A*S*H, and The Odd Couple. In the case of The Odd Couple, it could be because I like Tony Randall and Jack Klugman as actors better than I do Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, respectively. I am not aware of any network currently re-running TOC (as of December 2001), and I really miss it.
