The Odd Couple (1970)	comment	The Odd Couple is an American sitcom which ran for five seasons (1970â€“75) on ABC. It was devised by Garry Marshall and his writing partner Jerry Belson, based on the 1965 Broadway comedy play by Neil Simon and its 1968 movie adaptation. It was the first series produced by Paramount Television that was based on one of the studio's films (as well as the start of Marshall's relationship with Paramount, which would go on to encompass both TV and film); PTV predecessor Desilu Studios had produced The Greatest Show on Earth, inspired by the 1952 Paramount feature The Greatest Show on Earth, before Desilu became Paramount's TV division.Neat Freak photographer Felix Unger (Tony Randall) is kicked out by his wife, and with no place else to go, must move in with his friend, sports writer Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman), a total slob. The TV show added a small supporting cast, including Murray (Al Molinaro), a dim-witted but lovable police officer.The series was followed by a 1993 reunion special, The Odd Couple: Together Again.The success of the series inspired several other TV adaptations of the premise, including The Oddball Couple, a 1975 animated series starring a cartoon dog and cat, The New Odd Couple, a 1982 sitcom with black actors in the lead roles, and The Odd Couple (2015), a 21st-century setting update.

The Odd Couple (1970) / int_127fc252	comment	Creator Cameo: Neil Simon himself makes a brief cameo in "Two on the Aisle". Reportedly Simon hated the first season of the TV series, but not because of its content (he hadn't actually seen it) — it was because his name was listed in the title of the series during the first season (Neil Simon's The Odd Couple), which he objected to on account of him having nothing to do with the series itself. Once he actually watched the first and second seasons, he grew to like the series. Producer Garry Marshall appears in season one's "I Do, I Don't" as a moviegoer who yells at Oscar for talking during the movie, as well as in Myrna's last episode (Myrna being played by his sister Penny).

However, when the minister says the line during the ceremony, Felix objects, because he feels Blanche is marrying the wrong man. The next scene shows the angrily brooding Oscar, at home later that day, playing a recording of the wedding on his turntable, and lifting the needle to hear Felix's "I object" over and over. Then Felix comes home from the church.

Oscar is the exact opposite (see Trash of the Titans below), which drives Felix up the wall.

Randall and Klugman especially despised it and campaigned hard for moving to three-camera comedy with a Studio Audience. It was still used for sweetening for the rest of the series, though.

He's not flamboyant or anything, but he's neat, loves cooking and cleaning, is a stickler for manners, wears his heart on his sleeve, loves opera and ballet, cries at weddings, doesn't like sports, and has some Ho Yay moments with Oscar. Yet, he has an ex-wife that he's obsessed with getting back with, is shown dating various women throughout the series, and could even be quite the ladies' man sometimes. Even Felix himself brought this up in an unproduced script for the 1970 series, in which he finds an unfinished article in Oscar's typewriter about homosexuality in sports, which he mistakes for a confessional and remarks, "You'd think if it was either one of us it would be me."

It's a long scene with no dialogue that begins with Felix coming home late from work, gargling, putting his PJ's and a sleep mask on and climbing into bed. While on his back, a sleeping woman (who'd gotten Oscar to give her a place to crash) suddenly rolls over and throws her arm around him, while still asleep. He picks up her arm, takes off his mask, sits up, gets out of bed, looks down at her (still asleep) and delivers the only line in the scene: "It's not my birthday...".

The latter is due to irresponsibility rather than malice, however, and under his thoughtless exterior is a loyal, caring, tolerant and very forgiving man.

Impossible if the set were "real" (obviously, Tony Randall merely ran around the back of the set). It's not lampshaded in the dialogue, but the audience reaction of spontaneous applause seems to show that they grasped the absurdity. An odd gag in a show that normally eschewed such shenanigans.

To wit: instead of Felix being an uptight killjoy and Oscar being fun-loving and carefree, it's Felix who is more a bright-eyed and easygoing guy (for the most part), while Oscar is more of an irritable, quick-tempered grump (mainly because Felix gets on his nerves so much). Also, Felix is more culturally highbrow than in the film, playing up the Slobs Versus Snobs conflicts with Oscar.

As might be expected, Felix does not take the impending birth calmly. Even before Gloria goes into labor, his behavior drives Oscar and Gloria so crazy that they ask him to go to the movies. Once there, he calls Oscar incessantly to ask about his wife. After going to the hospital, he gradually falls apart, ending up getting himself thrown out for things like commandeering the PA system. "Natural Childbirth" concerns Oscar's heavily pregnant niece, Martha, turning up at the apartment, having run away from home to give birth without sedation. Her husband Phil doesn't appear, as he's in the army and can't get leave. Oscar and Felix pick up the slack. Oscar especially panics before the birth itself, when Martha still plans to give birth in the Bronx, and he calms down enough during the birth to assist Nancy. Felix stays relatively calm for most of the episode but experiences psychosomatic labor pains after the birth actually starts.

This led to the episode "The Subway Story" in which Felix tries to counteract negative NYC stereotypes that Oscar wrote in his column.

He finally confronts him about it. Willie says "Felix, you don't like them because you've never tried them", adding, "Do you want to play a trick on Oscar?" Felix delivers the "about-face" line, says, "No. What?" Willie gives Felix a rubber hot dog to give to Oscar. With insane glee, Felix sets the trap and calls Oscar in for a snack - which of course Oscar just eats as if it were normal, saying, "The bun's a little stale."

The Odd Couple (1970) / int_8d217819	type	BigRottenApple
The Odd Couple (1970) / int_8d217819	comment	Big Rotten Apple: Not a main feature of the series, but given that it does take place in 1970s New York City this trope ends up showing up a few times. In addition to occasional quips from the characters about getting mugged and scenes of Oscar checking out a titty bar (just watch the Season One end credits and read the text on that building Oscar walks up to towards the end) in at least one version of the end credits, it provided the setup or a plot point for a few episodes: "Security Arms": Their apartment gets burglarized, and Oscar walks into the living room to find Felix bound and gagged. Horrified, Felix moves into a new building with ultra-high security. Oscar pooh-poohs Felix as being overly paranoid... then moves in with him just a few days later after he hears a wild gun fight right outside the apartment. It takes some serious issues with the new building to get Felix and Oscar to move back into their old place. "New York's Oddest": Felix comes home from work having delivered a baby on the sidewalk in Times Square ("The first thing that baby saw was an X-rated movie marquee over its head!") on his way home and is very much exasperated at the fact that people were nearly walking all over the mom, newborn, and Felix without noticing them. His irritation with how callous New Yorkers are now inspires him to enroll himself and Oscar into a volunteer police force program called the Civilian Police Reserves. On his first shift on patrol in their floor Felix repeatedly irritates everyone by blowing his whistle and getting them all up for little things. Then a burglar comes in, ready to break into an apartment. Felix blows his whistle repeatedly, but because of his prior false alarms no one comes out, and Felix is bound and gagged by the burglar. In the morning, Oscar and the other neighbors come out to find Felix still bound and gagged-and are glad the burglar shut Felix up for the rest of the night. "Natural Childbirth": Oscar's niece ran away from her home in Iowa so she could give birth outside of a hospital-she wants to deliver her baby in the "simple setting" of a motel in the Bronx. This elicits shock and serious concern from Oscar, Felix, and other characters to the point that everyone's trying to get her to go to a hospital to give birth-only for her to end up giving birth in Oscar and Felix's apartment! "Two Men on a Hoarse": Oscar loses his voice from a throat operation, which eventually causes Felix to lose his own voice from guilt. When burglars break into their apartment, Felix's voice is still nonexistent, so a still-hoarse Oscar struggles to yell to Murray that their apartment was robbed. "The Subway Story": Oscar's annoyed with the city, so Felix takes him out on the town to show him that New York isn't a completely lost cause. Of course they get stuck in the subway. "The New Car": Oscar wins a new car through a radio game show Felix that helped him win. After an entire episode of them agonizing over parking it, they ultimately look out their window to find the car with most of its parts stolen, which pretty much forces them to sell what remains of it to a lady who was trying to get it for a rather low price from them earlier.

Athletes like Man O' War, Citation, Whirlaway... Oscar's favorite breakfast is Jumbled Cluck (Aka Scrambled Eggs for those not versed in Password speak.). In the first Howard Cosell episode, Oscar mentions his favorite dessert is Boston Cream Pie. In one of his attempts to win Gloria back, Felix cooks a romantic dinner, listing all the dishes and labeling them as her favorites. Oscar notes that they are actually Felix's favorite dishes, not Gloria's, to which Felix says she'll learn to love them too.

Felix's brother Floyd comes to visit him and Oscar; Floyd feels Felix isn't suited for city life, and wishes he would to come to work for him at his bubblegum factory. At the same time, Felix envies the life Floyd has: a successful business, a really nice house, a loving family with a wife and children, a lodge membership, and wishes he had a life like that. With a little persistent prodding, Floyd manages to talk Felix into accepting a managing position at this bubblegum factory, but after some time, comes to regret it as Felix drives everybody at the factory crazy with his new regulations; at the same time, Felix also regrets accepting the offer because he comes to miss New York City as well as his old apartment and Oscar too much.

There are three completely different flashback episodes about how Felix and Oscar first met. The theme song in the earlier seasons, and one flashback episode says that they're childhood friends, another flashback episode says they met while on jury duty, and several episodes mention the two of them being army buddies. In "You Saved My Life", Felix comments that he's "never considered the possibility of Felix Unger dying", yet the earlier episode "A Grave for Felix" was about Felix losing a grave plot he'd been trying to buy. One episode establishes that one of them didn't have any wedding photos; in another episode, he is seen looking at his wedding photos.

Felix does this during several actual episodes as well, such as when Oscar draws a mustache on him with a marker in "You Saved My Life".

When he lets it slip to the IRS that Oscar's tax returns are suspect, Oscar is audited. But when it looks like Oscar is going to lose everything, Felix charges into the IRS office. He has gone over Oscar's books, discovered Oscar never deducted his alimony payments, and finds that, in fact, the IRS owes Oscar money for the overpayment.

At the end of "Felix Gets Sick", Oscar pretends he's ill to return the favor but finds that Felix is too nice about the disruption for revenge to be sweet.

Among some of the goodies he brings over are "rocks" and "cheese brintzes."
