Great site

What a great site ands a great tribute to the most classic sitcom of aal time. I never imagined there were so many OC enthusiasts like myself. Thank you.

Trivia-
1) What was the serial number of Felix's television?
2) What was the name of Leonard's frog? Also, what was the name of the frog they bought at the pet store?
Thanks, again. Awesome site.

Anthony,
As far as trivia questions go, you should go to the Message Board portion of the website. Tha'ts where we all end up trading them and testing each other.
Felix's TV serial number was something like 956102, but I don't know it exactly, and Leonard's frog was Max.
We need more people leaving questions.
Who was the guy Felix stopped carrying the TV, and why was he there? Whose apartment was he in?


From: Anthony to Owen
Date: Thu Jan 7 08:38:59 1999

Thanks for the info.You were close on the serial number,Im pretty sure it's 96133F. The guy was the brother of the guy who lived there and he was watching it for him (?)

I LOVE THE ODD COUPLE

This is a great site...I had one of the yuckiest days of my life today and the sound downloads, Felix Honking and singing really made me a whole lot happier. Honk and Kisses to all...

THE ODD COUPLE RULES!!!

From the first time I saw "The Odd Couple" I thought that is a cool, funny, and a great show. Now-a-days comedy has lost its purity, shows like "The Odd Couple" maintain the value of comedy. Thanks Jaclyn, as a great fan of the "The Odd Couple", I've always wanted the wonderful facts about the show, your site is admirable =)

Not alone

I thought, before I got on line, that I was the only "Odd Couple" in the world. Also, in response to the character who played on Seinfeld: Not only "Poppie" formally as "Ernie the Eskimo" but Jerry's father appeared twice. Once in the court room episode as Mr. Moss and once on the subway when Felix helped deliver puppies.

The first time I saw The Odd Couple, I was amazed. I was expecting a canned sitcom with no real creativity in it, and boy, was I dead wrong! This show was filled with unpredictable humor and some of the best acting that has ever come out of prime-time television! I'll admit that I've seen under ten episodes of it, but within those few episodes that I've seen, I laughed more times than I've laughed while watching all of the other sitcoms that I've seen combined! This show is the best thing that has happened to Comedy Central in years! SOUTH PARK, eat your black little heart out! Long live The Odd Couple! :-)

Thanks so much for this Odd Couple page! It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I even thought Felix and Oscar were married to each other, LOL.

Exactly what I needed!

Forget Jack Lemmon/Walther Matthau. There can and will be only one real "Odd couple"
The best show on earth! Even it is running at 00.20 am on Tuesdays till Thursdays on GERMAN television and I have to get up at 5.30 am, I have to watch it. I don't tape it, I prefer to stay awake and enjoy Oscar and Felix. That's my tribute to Jack and Tony.
God bless you both!!!
Fantastic site !

WOW

I just found this page yesterday. It is truly incredible. Since, it is next to impossible to find the show anywhere on the air right now, I feel like I've found my fix.
When I was younger, and not allowed to stay up until 11:00 (when OC was on WPIX) I used to sit at the top of the stairs, without my parents' knowledge, and listen to them laugh hysterically. I knew I was missing something. Later, I was able to convince my father to buy me a radio that had a TV band on it. I would LISTEN to OC in bed and laugh...quietly. Ah, the good old days...
Anyway, I have always considered myself an OC trivia expert, until I read some of your stuff, Owen. Good God, how does your brain work?

Finally I have found other Odd Couple freaks!! I have always loved this show and use to pride myself on the trivia I thought I knew, but I stand corrected. I love Odd Couple trivia and will send in some questions.

OC trivia

Barbara,

Always glad to have more fanatics. Hope you've gone to the message board, because that's where we trade trivia questions most often. We need more regulars.

Felix

One of Felix's best lines was "Everybody thinks I'm a hypochondriac....that makes me sick!"...Some sitcoms are simply a cut above the rest..."Taxi", "Cheers", "Seinfield"....the Odd Couple is definatley amoung the elite. Thanks for this great web site.

The tribute to The Odd Couple you've built here is simply wonderful. The show still airs, of course, and I catch it whenever. It's still one of my favorites, and it's comedy has aged well. Keep up the great work!!

The Odd Couple

Hello,

I figured after 22 years of watching The Odd Couple, I would get tired of it. Not the case.
It is still the best show ever made. I have
all episodes taped, but I still wish it was on
Nick At Nite. It seems that all the episodes
that I've seen on Nick at Nite were different
than when I saw The Odd Couple back in the
'70's and '80's. They cut out Roy Clark's
guitar solo at the end of that
episode, on Nick at Nite. Why?
There is obviously more than one version of
every episode.
The Odd Couple rules and that's that!
Comedy since the late '80's has been horrible.
I noticed that the sitcom "Perfect Strangers" and "Family Matters" have used
some Odd Couple themes.

Garo Yepremian who played Myrna's date,
was actually an Armenian from Cyprus.
On that episode, Oscar says he's from
Albania. Kick!!!!!

Lost footage

One more tidbit about unseen footage--the flashback scene at the army barracks(Oscar wants to propose to Blanche)--Felix notices the ascot around the generals neck, "I've got sausage burns!!"--Cut, was a previous scene where Oscar tells Felix about the chef snapping, and choking the general with sausage links!! For years I thought "sausage burns" was some kind of rash or something that old people got!

Stahl was one of the funniest, dead-pan recurring actors on the show. It was cool to see him mentioned in your FAQ pages. My personal favorite was his portrayal of Brother Ralph.

A question about Dialogue

In the episode where the boys feel they are getting too old, Oscar introduces Felix to an old man who is a stand-up comic. Felix says to him, "Nice jacket. Mohair?" The old guy replies with "No, ...." I can never make out what the guy's response is, but the audience laughs. Can anyone help me out here??


From: Justin (caplab)
Date: Thu Aug 12 19:00:20 1999

Richard Stahl

Yes he is great.
I prefer him as the proprietor of the pet shop. "An American Frog? You bet I'll fix him." and "Don't yell at me in front of the animals."

Talk about a bunch of fanatics! I'm proud to be one of you.

I took my Odd Couple tapes into the delivery room with me when my daughter was born.

Who else but a bunch of Odd Couple fans would know who Richard Stahl is?

The Odd Couple had the best character actors and supporting characters of any show on tv.

For the record, Felix's tv serial number is 96133F.

If anyone knows where to get the whole collection, preferably uncut, please e-mail me or post to the board. (My collection is spotty.)

Great site

Thanks for giving the internet community a wonderful place to go for their "Odd Couple" fix. This show was so engrained in my childhood--it's one of those shows that provided a new tier of humor subjects that out-stepped the usual fare. Other examples of these types of shows were "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "All in the Family."

Great job Jaclyn!! I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this impressive and extraordinary website. This site has reconfirmed my theory* that if you meet someone who's a fellow fan of the Odd Couple, then more than likely that person is a noble, amiable and trustworthy individual. I think I'm out of adjectives, so...thanks :)


*The above theory is just that, a theory. It hasn't been proven scientifically or any other way, so don't go giving out your house keys to the next Odd Couple purist you stumble upon in real life or online.

Greatest Sitcom Ever

I don't really care what they say about all the more recent shows such as Cheers or Seinfeld, the Odd Couple was just a much better show. The writing, the jokes, the physical humor, and the characters were just much more believable. Nevermind the fact, they were doing this years before all of these so-called greatest sitcoms were even a thought. Unfortunately, the Odd Couple didn't get as much backing financially or from the public. A lot of that had to do with the generation. Unfortunately, the ones that appreciated Oscar and Felix never really got a chance to have a say on whether the show stayed on the air...
