The Odd Couple: Matthew Perry Assumes the CBS Sitcom Is Cancelled

by Jessica Pena, April 13, 2017

Is The Odd Couple gone for good? Recently, star Matthew Perry revealed he’s pretty certain the CBS TV series has been cancelled.

Based on the play by Neil Simon, the sitcom follows two unlikely roommates—endearing slob Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) and uptight neat freak Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon). The cast also includes Lindsay Sloane, Wendell Pierce, and Yvette Nicole Brown.

Season three of The Odd Couple ended in January after CBS opted not to order more episodes. The decision heavily suggested the series was headed towards cancellation, and now Perry has confirmed “it’s safe to assume” that’s what has happened:

My face on the Odd Couple stage door has been painted over with green paint.I think it's safe to assume that we have been cancelled.#subtle

— matthew perry (@MatthewPerry) April 10, 2017

While CBS has not officially announced a cancellation, it would not be a surprise. Season three of The Odd Couple didn’t perform well in the ratings. Overall, the season averaged a 1.02 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.994 million viewers.

What do you think? Did you watch The Odd Couple? Are you sad it’s not returning?

No, I actually liked this show….the very first episode cracked me up.
2nd one not so much, but then it just got worth watching.
Please don’t cancel it
Bring it back for at LEAST ONE MORE SEASON.
Please. Worth giving fans some closure at least

Please don’t cancelled it . It is a much better sit com with these two than it was with other 2 who played it. They have more fun.

Yes, I’m very sad if it’s not returning as seems very likely now. It’s by far one of the best written, acted, well cast, smartest, truly funny sitcoms on tv, period!! That’s just it. I thought it a “no brained” that this show would be on for several seasons at least. I’m old enough to have seen the original tv adaptation sitcom~the classic show. IMHO, this was just as good as the original, how incredibly rare is that? It just doesn’t happen that a remake is typically even close in quality, etc. to the original when the og is a… Read more »

It’s a shame because Odd Couple was a good show that CBS moved around and didn’t promote. It’s much better than trash like Man with a Plan and Kevin Can Wait.

Yes I followed the Odd Couple and I do think most of the cast is well suited for their roles. Some new additions just need to be looked at again for their suitability.

I watched it but the last season wasn’t that great. And the addition of Teri Hatcher was a BIG mistake. She just brought the stories down. I did enjoy the rest of the main cast though, specially the not too bright baseball friend of Oscar’s.

I love the show. It is a nice change of pace from all other self assured actors.

I love the premise of the show and the actors in their roles. However, it has stretched itself thin & probably needs to have a quiet death. Sad that really fun actors can’t find much of anything that doesn’t have a two season shelf life.

I like the show. Loved the original in the early 70s. The writing was good not great. I’ll miss it.

Andrea, 2 seasons is too long for it to have been on?! Either you’re joking or you are bad with math. Did you know that’s all it got and those seasons weren’t even normal length. Most sitcoms do about 24 eps a season, some a bit more 25-6 some a bit less 22-3. TOC got 38 episodes in 2 seasons (19 average a season), not even averaging the lowest amount of “typical annual sitcom episodes”. So, regardless of your personal opinion of the show, it wasn’t on long at all, not even 2 regular seasons. There are so many shows… Read more »

I’m so tired of investing my time in all these tv shows just to have them cancelled I’m getting to the point where I don’t even want to start watching anything new, because you don’t know how long it’s going to stick around. I love this show and I really hope CBS won’t cancel it.
