The Odd Couple – The Second Season
In its second season, “The Odd Couplewas filmed before a live studio audience,” and a good sitcom was well on its way to becoming a great one. Jack Klugman, as sloppy Oscar, and Tony Randall as fussy Felix, two divorced men trying to live together without driving each other crazy, was casting alchemy, and as time goes by, we appreciate the fundamental things that still apply: smart, character-based writing and indelible performances. This season fleshes out the mismatched friends' backstory with two fun flashback episodes.
