Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBesides Felix (Thomas Lennon) and Oscar (Matthew Perry), Roy (Dave Foley) is the only character that was in all Odd Couple adaptations (play; original film The Odd Couple (1968); The Odd Couple (1970) and The Odd Couple (2015) television programs).
- GoofsTeddy is supposedly filming the sports ticker and the 10 TVs, when in fact there are only 8 TVs below the sports ticker.
Featured review
A solid start
After three slightly off centre shows (Studio 60, Mr Sunshine, Go On) didn't get beyond their first series, Matthew Perry in his own words decided to "give audiences what they want" and therefore tried to return to TV again in this re-imagining of Neil Simon's classic play 'The Odd Couple'.
This pilot is good fun, though the first few scenes are a bit laboured. There was lots of negative comments about Perry's performance at the time, but I thought he was good here as sloppy Oscar (perhaps people expected him to be Felix who is closer to 'Chandler'), though hugely outshone by Thomas Lennon as Felix.
There's some nice usage of classic lines from the original play, and although the supporting cast don't get much of a look in (though it's always lovely to see Lindsay Sloane)this pilot at least displayed that the show had potential.
