What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, The Odd Couple revolves around endearing slob Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry), a sportswriter, and uptight neat freak Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon), a photographer. They’re two former college buddies who become unlikely roommates after the demise of their marriages. Despite how exasperated Oscar and Felix make each other, in the end, these mismatched friends agree they can help each other move on from their divorces. Somehow they seem to make their crazy living arrangement work. Lindsay Sloane, Wendell Pierce, and Yvette Nicole Brown round out the sitcom’s cast.

Telly’s Take
This is yet another remake of a classic series. Despite having a proven title and two talented comedy stars, The Odd Couple hasn’t really caught on. The ratings dropped further in season three, and although CBS could have ordered more than 13 episodes, they didn’t. The previous two seasons began airing midseason so the network only needed 13 installments. Odd Couple is a long way from having enough episodes for syndication, the ratings are way down and the network has lots of sitcom options. I doubt that it will be back for a fourth season.
5/15 update: The Odd Couple is cancelled. There will be no season four on CBS. Details here.

What do you think? Were you hoping CBS would renew The Odd Couple TV show for a fourth season? How do you feel about this TV series cancellation?
Of course the HAD TO CANCEL a god comedy show to make more room for more cops and bad guys shows. That’s all the people seem to watch these days. For me it just means less time spent watching CBS.
Love the Odd Couple please renew it,too many reality shows and too many stupid shows.
great show…plz renew….its one of the better shows on tv these days…
I love the Odd Couple. It’s hilarious please don’t cancel
I love it . I hope it’s not cancelled !
Please renew CBS has to much drama crap and not enough show to bring happiness into the home . I need to laugh. Not change the station. Thank you
Please renew! I felt the writing has improved so much this season, and the addition of Teri Hatcher to the already stellar cast was a great move. It’s getting better despite ratings of impatient people. You can’t get any better than Matthew Perry and Thomas Lemmon. They are comedy genius. They deserve a 4th season to see what will develop.
Please re-new for season 4! I look for it every week! There’s a new show in its slot! Put it back on consistently every week!
Please don’t cancel the show. Its amazing
My husband and I like this show and would always watch it. But showing only half a season with skipped weeks inbetween is a little annoying. Please try a full season and please don’t cancel. I can tell you your “retired demographics” 50 plus do watch and identify with the show. Finally a good clean comedy thats not a reality tv show but a real comedy. YEAHHH!!
Entirely true!!! This demographic BS completely ignores good entertainment.
Please renew The Odd Couple. They all play of off each other so well. Love this show!!
DO NOT CANCEL ITS AWESOME.
I like this show and would always watch it but…I never know when it is on. I think a good solid time slot would go a long way
The only thing this new odd couple is missing is Oscar’s REAL sloppiness,which would only cause Felix to be more neurotic ,which would cause more laughs …take this suggestion Mathew Perry ,and run with the ball…the odd couple is a classic….your character is just to neat….no ketchup stained shirts ,no yelling about wipping feet throwing your jacket around etc etc:(
