Description of The Odd Couple - The Final Season
Genre: Television: Series
Rating: NR
Release Date: 18-NOV-2008
Media Type: DVD
"No learning" was Seinfeld?s misanthropic mantra. But Jerry and company had nothing on Oscar and Felix. For five years, these two divorced men, the best of friends but the worst of roommates, failed hilariously as they tried to live together without driving each other crazy. Oscar (Jack Klugman) and Felix (Tony Randall, an Emmy winner this season) may each proclaim they are turning over a new leaf in this beloved series? finale, but Oscar will always be a slob and Felix will always be a neurotic fussbudget. The Odd Couple may not have delivered the ratings in its five season run, but episode after episode, it dependably delivered the laughs, thanks to Klugman and Randall?s pure chemistry and the palpable charge they got from performing in front of a live audience. The Odd Couple pretty much goes out on top with several standout episodes. In the flashback episode, "Our Fathers," Klugman and Randall portray their characters? fathers in Roaring ?20s Chicago. Brett Somers, who portrayed Oscar?s dread ex-wife, is missed this season, but there are plenty of familiar faces and star cameos. Paul Williams, Howard Cosell, opera singer Martina Arroyo, Richard Dawson, Bob Hope, and--trivia alert--Rodney Allen Rippy appear as themselves, while Roy Clark, oddly enough, doesn?t portray Roy Clark in "The Roy Clark Show." Pernell Roberts (Bonanza) is a gambler to whom Oscar finds himself in debt in "Strike Up the Band or Else." The great Elisha Cook, Jr. (The Maltese Falcon) is a mob hit man (or is he?) in "Our Fathers." And in "The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly in Vain," that?s Rob Reiner as "Sheld?n," the boyfriend of Oscar?s steadfast secretary Myrna, portrayed to nasal perfection by Reiner?s then-wife, Penny Marshall. As with Seinfeld, The Odd Couple is inextricably bound to New York. " Two on the Aisle" finds theatre buff Felix in his element, unwittingly reviewing plays for sportswriter Oscar (this episode features a better late than never cameo by Odd Couple playwright Neil Simon, as well as theatre critic John Simon). In "The Subway Story," Felix is determined to prove to Oscar that all New Yorkers aren?t rude. Sudden fade ins and outs suggest that some musical performances could not be cleared for this DVD, but at least the Paul Williams and Roy Clark episodes seem to have emerged unscathed. There?s one more Seinfeld connection. In "Strike Up the Band or Else," we may hear the origin of the odd exclamation, "You can stuff your sorrys in a sack, mister," which was a recurring bit in "The Betrayal" from Seinfeld?s own final season. "Felix Remarries" brings The Odd Couple to a satisfying conclusion, and brings down the curtain on one of TV?s great comedy teams. --Donald Liebenson
