definitly the best tribute the "the odd couple" on the net!

Nice page!

I really like this page as well as the show itself. Oscar and Felix are really funny!



This is a great website! I love the sounds. Keep up the good work!

trivia

I'm hoping to find some people who consider themselves OC serious trivia buffs on this show. As a sample tidbit, which I consider rather easy, name 15 celebrities that appeared on the show AS THEMSELVES. This rules out Roy Clark, who played Wild Willie Boggs, or Penny Marshall and Rob Reiner.

more trivia

Jaclyn, Is it possible you could set up a section of this site devoted to trading of trivia questions and quizzes? Thanks, in advance.

inconsistencies

1) a minor inconsistency - when Gloria was pregnant with their first child, she and Felix stayed at Oscar's apartment, which was the new apartment seen in the later episodes.(Remember, Felix found the note in the gorilla.) But, when Felix was later thrown out, he went to stay with Oscar in the old apartment, which was supposed to precede the newer apartment. Then it switched back to the new apartment.
2) The same actor played different roles in different episodes This happened several times. I don't know the official names of the episodes. The same actor played Brother Ralph at the Brotherhood of Life Mission, the officer when Felix and Oscar were in jail after Murray arrested them for gambling ("what's your name, con?"), and the minister/fire chief who performed the wedding ceremony of Blanche and Roger Doctor.(We'll get started just as soon as I take off by big, yellow hat.") Also, another actor played 2 roles in different episodes. The man who Oscar won the ra

inconsistencies - continued

continued - The man who Oscar won the racing dog, Golden Earrings from, was Salty Pepper. This man also played Al Cattleman, the man in Felix's creative writing class who was writing a book that was going to blow the lid off the upholstery business(This old man is currently on Ally McBeal). Also, a man who played the judge in the episode where Murray arrests them also played Dr. Gordon in the episode where Oscar is in the hospital for an ulcer. Also, John Byner appears in the Fat-Away episode and as the parking garage attendant when they win the car.
3) their addresses - I may not be correct on this one, but the green awning in some external camera shots says "1049", and I believe Felix once mentioned that they live at 1049 Park Avenue. But in the parking garage scene, John Byner asks them where they live and Felix says, "74th and Central Park West".
Finally , this is not an inconsistency - but a quiz what little known actor appeared on the Odd C

inconsistencies - continued 2

continued -2 Finally , this is not an inconsistency - but a quiz what little known actor appeared on the Odd Couple one time, and was later a recurring character on many episodes of Seinfeld?

even more inconsistencies

the other time that a reference was made to their apartment was in the "Lovelace" episode, when Felix pointed up and referred to their neighbor, "Jock McDonough, 16th floor", so we know that they lived below 16.
One more - On one occasion, when Oscar had Felix one the witness stand Felix said that his nickname as a child was "Felix the pest". But, in the Deacon Jones episode, after Oscar told Felix not to approach Jones, Felix said, "There's no one I can't talk to. Even as a child they called me the firendly one".

another inconsistency

in the Golden Earrings episode, Oscar says something that is one of my favorite trivia questions, because nobody ever gets it. When choosing a color for the dog to wear in the race, Felix says that the dog hates blue. Oscar says, "Are you kidding?. The rug in my room is BLUE!', because the dog kept going to Oscar's room to relieve himself. But, I don't believe there has ever been a scene in Oscar's room where it had a blue rug.

trivia

I assume everyone knows this, but what the heck: One of the girls who played Felix's daughter, Edna, was the voice of what beloved cartoon character? Answer in next message.

answer to previous trivia question

the girl who appeared most often as Felix's daughter, Edna, was also the voice of Lucy Van Pelt in all the Charlie Brown TV specials.

Trivia

Owen,
About trading trivia questions - feel free to continue using the Odd Couple Message board - I think it is probably the best forum for that, so I don't think I'd need to set up a separate page.

As for your trivia question - Reni Santoni played Ernie the Eskimo football player on the Odd Couple, and later had a recurring role as Poppie on Seinfeld - the Italian restaurant owner who went to the bathroom without washing his hands (and then made a pizza) and then had an "accident" on Jerry's new white couch.



Jacly, How are you doing on my other question about the 15 celebrities who appeared as themselves? I have since recalled that there was another, so I am up to 16. I'll probably add more messages as the days go on, and I'd love to hear some trivia questions from oher people. Bye.



Jaclyn, I was just curious about your sources for all your information. Are you doing all the research yourself? If so, you've really put a lot of work into it. Great job!
More trivia - in the Ernie the Eskimo episode, what did it say on the sweatshirt that Ernie was wearing, what was the name of the man who came to offer him a music scholarship, and what school was the man from? (I hope that people are trying to get these questions on their own and not looking them up and pretending they know them.)

Odd Couple

hi! I love your page! And the Odd Couple too!

Odd Couple Web Site

Hey, this is a great site! I found it through Yahoo; I was looking to find when the OC was on TV. BTW, Comedy Central has moved the show to 2pm weekdays and 9 & 9:30am on Sundays.

Tell us a little about the creator of this site! Who are you and how did you get into the Odd Couple Web Site?

To Owen: the guy who played Brother Ralph, the preacher, a judge etc. is one of the great character actors of that time period, along with the patients from the Bob Newhart Show. These are the people who deserve an emmy in my opinion!

Ted

Editting of Syndicated Episodes

I was just thinking....

Does anyone have any idea how the episodes have been edited? I know that there are scenes missing from some episodes. When I watched them as a kid there were scenes that are now cut out.

For instance, the Costume Party episode, when Felix is in the Dumbwaiter and he goes to Phillip's (the blond kid with glasses) apartment and he Phillip is dressed as a mad scientest, making a batch of potion in test tubes. He drinks the potion and becomes a Mr. Hyde character and tries to attack Felix. Maybe many people don't even know of this scene because, it and many other small scenes were cut out.

Comments?

I Crack Up!!!

Every time I watch the show, I CRACK UP LAUGHING! This show can change my mood within 10 seconds! A CLASSIC!!!!!!

Email me for the answers .


Enjoy your site, Missing scenes and Trivia

First of all, THANK YOU for creating a Great web site. I have many friends that I must inform who absolutely Love the Odd Couple and would Love your web site.

As far as Ted's comment about editing the shows, there is definitely a difference between shows. It depends on the time it was shown. Prime time has more commericals than at 2am. I have all 114 shows on tape as well as some duplicate tapes. There are many instances where the same show has scenes left out. Too many commericals!

I would Love to get the uncut versions if anyone knows where to get them!

As for a bit of Trivia:

What was the first and last episode to air?
Who is yawbus?
What color is Felix's robe?
What was the name of Felix's childhood teddy bear?
In the episode where the air conditioner is haunted, how much did the book "How to Exorcise at Home" cost?
How expensive was the sandwich Oscar made during the blackout at the poker game?
In the episode where Osca

lots of good stuff here

tv episode #s and titles, trivia, sound bytes, all kinds of stuff i was looking for is here.

suggestions

get sound clips w/o music or laughs under it.I know its hard,and i dont mean to seem demanding.

Felix

Felix is my hero! Neurotic compulsives unite!

Bravo!!!

My favorite show when I was a growing teen. I'm sort of neurotic and compulsive like Felix. :-)

Good Stuff

I HAD to come in for Felix's honk :-D You have an excellent place!

Odd couple

It's good to know that my brothers and I were not alone in LOVING this show. We kept notes! A favorite list question was to name all those that played cameo roles (ie who played themselves). I picked up Bob Hope from your episode list.

Enjoy!

Odd Couple

Thanks for the great tribute to one of the best shows of all time. I can not understand how the show was not retained by Nick at Nite. The show should be out on home video. Digitally remastered with all of the lost footage restored and should have remained as part of the Nick at Nite line up. Having it buried at Comedy Central is sad.

Trivia

Does anyone remember "Lopsided Kruger"? Great Website! More sound bites, please.

great site

This is a fantastic site. All kinds of interesting information. I have played Jesus Costasuela in the female version of this play and am in the process of doing the original version, as Oscar. I find this site very refreshing and interesting. Keep up the good work.

I LOVE THE ODD COUPLE !!!

I have watched the reruns for years and I still find them hilarious. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Randall on a city street in NYC a few years ago. He is both funny and intelligent and is surprising youthful looking . I wish I could bump into Jack Klugman one day also....Love your web site...Michelle J.

Trivia questions

It seems that so many people love the show; I just wish more people would go to the message board and submit trivia questions. It seems like its the same bunch. Hopefully in the future...

Odd Couple

I was just recently assistant producer for my skewl play which was the odd couple. Nice website. The play went terriffic..oh yeah, it was the FEMALE version of the play. The entire school loved it and I enjoyed producing it. Please get in touch with me to talk about the play or something. I would love to hear from other Odd Couple fans. Waiting 4 your reply!

The absolute best O.C. web site I've ever seen!!

This web site is so well presented, professionally done and covers all of the points you would have expected from a fan based TV page. I have been a fan of the Odd Couple since it came out on prime time, I was just a little kid then, but have loved the show ever since. Please feel free to E-mail me about the show, and thanks again for a great tribute page!!!

Finally A Homepage That Shows The O.C. The Respect It Deserves!!

This is a great page. Great job on the bio's, sounds, pictures, and everything else. The Odd Couple is my favorite TV show. Tony and Jack were magnificent.
The movies were also good, but I prefer the show. Keep up the good work.

The Odd Couple

It's really great to know that after all these years, I can come to a place where I can discuss one of the greatest sit-coms of all time and not feel guilty about it. Thanks so much for creating a terrific website. I have nine out of the ten Columbia House videotapes and they're all great (even includes the original Paramount Television logo at the end of each episode in favor of the current one under Viacom)!
Let's get together and discuss this great show!
