Matthew Perry / Oscar Madison Thomas Lennon /Felix Unger
Oscar is recently divorced and was taken for nearly everythings. He is a huge slob and all he wants is a sex set up. Felix is in the process of an ugly divorce due to his obsessive compulsive cleaning and organising and almost puritan lifestyle.
Nope, it's not doing a thing for me.
Incarnation one of this show was one of those black comedy that were so popular in the 60's and 70's (film or stageplay I'm not sure which came first). It scooped a few awards on the large screen and the stage and then went to TV. There it proved that you have to be outstanding to make the transition from the big screen to the little sucessfully. Also that you have to remain that way to stay.
Actually The Odd Couple has had more incarnations than Shirley MacLaine! And the more often they do it the weaker and less enjoyable it gets. So it is not surprising that this the 9th(?) is about as much fun as watching paint dry. At no point did I even get the urge to smile grin or smirk. I am not coming back. I think so poorly of this show, I'm not even going to bother posting a picture of it.
As always this is only my opinion. Other people are completely entitled to be wrong.
