The episode mentioned about Felix eating that mess Oscar
cooked up is from the very last episode. TV history states that this show was
the 1st to purposely make a "grand finale" episode. Which is sort of true. Leave
It To Beaver's last show had the family looking back at 6 years of memories but
most folks don't count clip shows. The last Odd Couple was funny,but I found the
idea of Felix reconciling with Gloria after 5 or so years apart to be a little
unreal! Especially in the span of a 30 min. show! An hour maybe. Just about all
of the episodes are classic,which is why it won Emmys. My overall favorite?
Oscar sleepwalks and hits Felix on the head with a rolled up newspaper or
magazine. The plot reaches it's funniest point,when after a few nights of this
Felix barracades his door with furniture. The music played over this scene
actually builds to the moment when Oscar in a nightmarish but still funny rage
comes crashing past the furniture to once again nail Felix,who now has a Civil
Defense Helmet for safety! He snaps a picture of Oscar just before his helmet is
swiped off and Oscar hits him again! There's so many quotes from this that I
still recall but I couldn't list them all here. One favorite:Their practicing a
football stance and Felix gets too close and Oscar says,"I don't want to dance
with you Felix." If you go to most websites for this show,you'll find a lot of
listings of inconsistencies through the course of the series. If you've never
seen this show,look for it! On TV & hopefully DVD!
