The Odd Couple – The First Season
Jack Klugman and Tony Randall give an advanced course in chemistry in the auspicious first season of The Odd Couple. In these first episodes, The Odd Couple hews pretty much to the voice and spirit of Neil Simon's play about mismatched roommates, sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison and “miserable, picky, irritating” photographer Felix Unger. Playing pivotal roles this first season are Felix and Oscar's poker playing buddies, Murray the cop (Al Molinaro), Vinnie, Roy, and Speed, the fabulous Pigeon sisters (Monica Evans and Carole Shelley reprising their Broadway and film roles).
