The Odd Couple (play, show, movie, anything)

I've been cast in this play at my school and would just like to know what people think of it in general. I personally think the play and movies are hilarious.

I'm most familiar with the TV show from the seventies starring Jack Klugman as Oscar and Tony Randall as Felix. I used to watch the reruns a lot and I loved the theme song. Which character are you playing Oscar the slob, or Felix the neat-freak?

 

I am also a great fan of the TV series and the film. A few years ago it was done on stage up in London as well. I got to one performance and it was quite good.

 

The movie was hilarious, still makes me laugh after after seeing it several times.

 

The TV series is one of my all time faves. I remember when re-runs used to be on about 4 times a day.

Favorite episodes & lines :

1. "Murray The Fink"

Murray the cop locks every one up at the weekly poker game. Felix is hysterical when he cross examines Murray on the witness stand.

Felix: "This is a fraudulent fondue fork".

2. "Partners Investment"

Oscar & Felix become partners in a Japanese restaurant (owned by the guy who played Arnold on Happy Days), & Felix starts to change everything.

Oscar: "There's some old guy in the kitchen choking a chicken".

3. "Password"

Oscar & Felix try out for the game show Password, but Felix's clues & answers are so out of left field it's hysterical.

(The password is: pencil)

Oscar: "Lead"
Felix: "Graphite"
