TV show description:
Based on the Neil Simon stage comedy (which later spawned movie and a couple TV show incarnations), this sitcom revolves around two single friends who are trying to figure out how to live together without killing each other.
Endearing slob Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) is a sports-writer and uptight neat freak Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon) is a photographer. They’re two former college buddies who become unlikely roommates after the demise of their marriages. Felix has been kicked out by his wife Ashley while Oscar’s ex Gaby (Lauren Graham) divorced him because of he’s such a slob. Felix still has feelings for Ashley while Oscar is happier without Gaby but does miss his kids.
It’s not long after Oscar agrees to let Felix move in with him that Oscar’s fear that he’s made a monumental mistake is realized. However, despite how exasperated they make each other, these mismatched friends agree they can help each other move on from their divorces and somehow make their crazy living arrangement work.
Oscar and Felix try to date Casey (Leslie Bibb) and Emily (Lindsay Sloane) — two attractive sisters who are roommates in the same building. They are also both recently divorced.
In addition, Oscar holds poker games regularly and one of the players being Teddy (Wendell Pierce), an extremely naive policeman. Dani (Yvette Nicole Brown), Oscar’s assistant, attempts to keep his life in order but it’s a losing battle.

What do you think? Di you like this version of The Odd Couple TV show? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for another season?
Was at the taping of the first show for season 2. Very funny plot with excellent writing!
Make sure you catch the tag at the end. You’ll fall out of your seat laughing! Still don’t know when it will air though.
I loved the original show and the movie very much. This show is a very fresh take on the old favorite. I like the modernizations and the supporting group of friends is great! Please keep it going both actors do a great job of portraying Oscar and Felix!
I’ve been looking for the return of The Odd Couple. It is one of the very few shows worth watching on net work TV.
It is very funny, to the point or fresh, creative and I like Felix because he is so unique and makes me laugh. I like Oscar because he is the great opposite of Felix with his wit. All the characters are like a strategically orchestrated puzzle that is spontaneous. It is like a dance.
Is this terribly unfunny show still on? Unbelievable.
It doesn’t appeal to everyone, it’s a refreshing option that doesn’t depend on bodily functions for humor.
Very funny!!! show keep this show please.
One of the funniest , freshest comedy to come along in a long time Makes you laugh out loud and crack up. Please keep this show. Nothing comes close except Big Bang Theory
Love this show – loved the original – one of the few times (i.e. Hawaii Five-O) when updating a show really works. Great writers, great actors – this show needs to come back.
renewed for another season
Love the show makes me laugh out loud.
Good show. Keep.
This show is funny, adorable with exceptional comedic timing by all of the characters. It’s difficult to find a smartly written sitcom to enjoy each week. I hope it stays around a looooong time ! By the way, I still miss Seinfeld and it seems back then – it took a while to become a hit. It seems the Odd Couple might be going that same route.
Please keep it. Very refreshing
i think the show is so funny.makes me laugh out loud. i’m not a prude by any means but i think it’s nicer to watch a show without a bunch of forced dirty comments like they are trying to shock you. two and a half men was disgusting after the first couple of years. this show deserves a chance.
Keep the show it is funny
