The Odd Couple was one of the all-time great sitcoms. Like
MASH, the TV show was even better than the hit movie. Many of my favorite
episodes have been described on this site (like Password).
Being a
sportswriter, many real life sports stars appeared in the show. Among the more
memorable were Deacon Jones filming a shaving cream commercial and Sonny
Sixkiller (an All American college QB) as a college star hiding out from the
media with the help of Oscar.
Felix Unger and the "Saddlesores"
performing at a square dance was also pretty funny - I still remember the lines
to the song - "Chicken in the spit, Beer in the keg, Grandpa's dancing with a
woden leg . . . ".
I still watch the reruns every chance I get.
