| The Odd Couple (2015) | comment |
The third live-action sitcom based on Neil Simon's 1965 stage play of the same name, following the classic 1970–75 series starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, and the 1982–83 series The New Odd Couple. It ran on CBS for three seasons (2015–17), making it the first adaptation since the Randall-Klugman series to make it beyond a single season.Like all previous versions of The Odd Couple, we have Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry), a sportswriter, radio host and complete slob, and Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon), the neat freak newswriter and photographer (who coincidentally works for CBSnote In the original play, Felix did work for CBS). The show explores their friendship as two diametrically opposing personalities try to live together and explore the dating scene after divorce.Also featured in the show is Dani (Yvette Nicole Brown), Oscar's beleaguered assistant; Teddy (Wendell Pierce), Oscar's agent; and Emily (Lindsay Sloane), a resident in Oscar's building who has a badly-hidden crush on Felix and later becomes his girlfriend. | |

| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Oscar and Felix constantly clash because of their different life philosophies but it's shown again and again that they are good friends and only have the other's best interests at heart. | |

| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: In a sense. Garry Marshall, developer of the 1970-75 series (and a creative consultant on this version), guested in "Madison & Son" as Oscar's father Walter. | |

| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Felix has one in the episode "The Birthday Party". After having spent his entire birthday party getting over his ex-wife (named Ashley in this version), an old friend of his notices her absence and asks him where she is, proceeding to tell him what a good couple he thought they were and that they looked so happy together, sending Felix spiraling into a depression, which culminates in him returning to the roller skate park where the two first met (on his birthday, no less) in the hopes he'll find her again. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Oscar becomes insecure when he finds out Murph has dated one of his flames, Brooke, in the past, with her mentioning that their releationship was "purely physical." Later on, after Oscar talks about it with Teddy, Murph stops by having just bought them sub sandwiches, and after he gives them their average-length ones he takes out his extra-long one and beams at it with pride while Oscar and Teddy stare at it uncertainly. | |

Trash of the Titans | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_24c6f22e | comment |
Trash of the Titans: Oscar's apartment was more like a landfill until Felix moved in and cleaned most of it up. Dani mentions that Oscar's room continues to be a complete mess. For what its worth, Oscar's messiness in this adaptation is nowhere near the horror that the trait was in the classic 1970s adaptation. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The gag about Felix's signing his notes to Oscar with his initials. (It took me two days to realize 'F.U.' stood for 'Felix Unger'!") This joke from the original play is repeated almost verbatim in the pilot, only now the notes are written on Oscar's sports ticker. "The Audit Couple" takes elements from the 1970s series episode "The Ides of April" (namely Felix accidentally causing Oscar to get audited by the IRS) to kick off a plot that greatly develops both Felix and Oscar's characters. "The Ghostwriter" sees Teddy obliviously eat a fake hamburger Felix and Dani had crafted for a photoshoot, which is reminiscent of a gag in the original series episode "The Roy Clark Show", where Felix pulls a prank on Oscar by feeding him a rubber hot dog, only to have him obliviously eat it whole. Oscar's father Walter Madison is named after Walter Matthau, Oscar's original actor on Broadway (and the 1968 film). Near the beginning of "Road Scholar", a police officer temporarily detains Oscar and Felix after their car slides off a bridge. The officer asks them to tell him "their story", and Felix, thinking he means "the story of how they came to live together", begins quoting the Opening Narration to the 1970-75 series. | |

Camp Straight | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_27c09b00 | comment |
Camp Straight: Felix, as always, has a very flamboyant personality and colorful wardrobe. Some people are surprised to learn that he's heterosexual, and at least one — the legitimately-gay Chad, who Felix's ex-wife Ashley brings to a wedding — is absolutely convinced he's not straight. | |

| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
Lethal Chef: Oscar's idea of cooking is opening a bag of no-name chips and reheating a pizza...while still in the box. In "Conscious Odd Coupling", he cooks a dinner for Charlotte. No comment on the dinner, but Charlotte's kitchen is totaled. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: It had to happen sometime, but Oscar and Felix finally get mistaken for a couple in "The Wedding Deception". Chad, the guy mentioned in Camp Straight above, tells Olivia (a former flame of Oscar's in college who he almost slept with) that Ashley had "no sense of Gaydar" in regards to Felix, and later dialogue between her and Oscar makes her think that the Couple is... well, a couple. Walter, Oscar's dad, can't wrap his head around the fact that Felix is dating Emily. Walter's business partner offhandedly refers to Felix as Oscar's "life-partner". Oscar tries to correct her but Felix has him "let it go". It gets to the point where Felix has to add "platonic" to any references to his roommate. | |

Rhonda Pencilcup. In "The Blind Leading the Blind Date", Felix asks Oscar if he knows his date's last name.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Felix talks Oscar into appearing on a sports TV show over Teddy's objections. Things don't go well. Felix pisses off the building's doorman, leading to the revelation that he and Oscar were illegally paying significantly less rent than they should have and they are suddenly on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars in back rent. Felix does it again in "The Audit Couple", running his mouth off at the IRS and accidentally causing Oscar to get audited. | |

Hypochondria | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_8b200e5f | comment |
Hypochondria: Felix suffers from this, to the point where he has a standing appointment with the best doctor in New York, and the patients and the receptionist all know him personally. Most practices in New York also keep him on a blacklist because he's so insistent that something is perpetually wrong with him. Oscar develops a lesser form after Felix shows him pictures of a victim of a disease that he thinks he has, and goes into a panic when the doctor, whom he is dating, develops symptoms that are similar to the disease. | |

Vicariously Ambitious: In "The God Couple", Felix trains Dani for a solo in her church choir. When she and the choir are invited to appear on television, Felix goes into full Stage Mom mode, causing a rift between Dani and the other singers. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| The Odd Couple (2015) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Played with in the third season finale "Conscious Odd Coupling", which has Oscar moving out. They end up needing each other and getting back together, but the man who became Felix's roommate has a one year lease and doesn't want to move out of the apartment. They try to convince him to take a vacated apartment two floors up, but the roommate refuses. So Felix and Oscar move into that apartment, which in The Stinger it's made up exactly the same as the first apartment, with Teddy Hanging A Lampshade on it by calling it "the same damn apartment". | |

The two sisters that Oscar brings over for a date in the pilot change from Cecily and Gwendolyn (Pigeon) to Casey and Emily. | |

The second one elicits delighted cheers from the studio audience. | |

O.O.C.

In "Chess Nuts", Emily becomes worried about Felix when he leaves a cereal bowl with oatmeal in her sink. Becomes a Brick Joke when in The Stinger Felix suddenly remembers and rushes over to Emily's to clean it. In "Eisen Trouble", Oscar and Dani gasp when a depressed Felix reacts to a spill on the table with "I don't care." | |

"Friends" Rent Control: Played straight with Emily, who lives alone in a rather luxurious NYC apartment while scrambling for tips as a waitress and trying to get her homemade jewelry business off the ground. Oscar and Felix, on the other hand, both have well paying jobs and split the rent on an apartment in the same building. But, as it turns out, the lease was in Oscar's ex-wife's name and they were paying significantly less than they should have due to rent control. | |
