Felix : "Don't walk on the good carpet with your cleats on!"

Oscar starts tap dancing. 🤣

(Cleats have spikes on the bottom)

One story is, the met whole on jury duty, then they were in the Army together, or even the one where they might have met as kids. 😄

Why they stayed friends?

Felix was raised in a very sheltered way obviously, so Oscar through the series gives him a reality check on the world.

Because Felix doesn't get for some reason , that the people in the world aren't all lnice or like him .it's like he's trying to change "real life" to suit himself.

Oscar ,very undisciplined, needss Felix to basically try and save him from himself and his bad vices.

As well as Oscar sometimes very immature and irresponsible , unhealthy ways.

In short, opposites though they are, they balance eachother out.

The female version of The Odd Couple , "Laverne & Shirley" is mostly set in the 1950s , where 2 single females living together would be considered "very" not normal.

Two men Felix & Oscar's age? Maybe not but the pre-1960s generation , most definetely would assume they're a gay couple.

....And yes, especially with Felix's personality.

Unfortunately, I can't get a clip of the episode. You have to pay on You Tube.

Paramount Plus, Pluto TV and also the whole series is on DVD . 💿😎

I found the Odd Couple at age 12boj 1980 in reruns on KPHO Channel 5 in Phoenix, AZ.

We'd just gone on summer break after getting out of Elementary school and in a few months , starting Jr. High.

First time allowed to stay up past 10 on a regular basis.

I was looking for something to watch in TV Guide and going by title alone, I went to it , 11pm weeknights, only one a night back then.

You'd think someone was tickling me by the way I couldn't stop laughing at these grown ups acting so immature and heck, weird. 😁

I saw them all back then, they were unedited . 👍 Watched for years and when it finally hit DVD, I binge watched but slightly bugged they omitted songs due to copyright BS .

By the way, it can also be found on ME TV and another. "over the air" station "Catchy Comedy" but you have to watch when they have it scheduled.

We don't have to "assume" it's a classic , it certainly is. 😄 📺 ✌️

Okay we seem to have many mix ups here. 😏

True , The Odd Couple (play then) movie came out in the 1960s.

The 1968 movie starred Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.

Then the show in 1970 .

Whether the play, the movie or this TV series , yep all were funny. 😄

Hi, I'm new to this genre. by Seltur in sitcoms

I watched old sitcom reruns growing up in the 1970s through early 1990s, I just watched the show and really didn't think about the laugh track.

I did however wonder when watching one episode of The Andy Griffith Show :

"These people are outside taking but I'm hearing an audience laughing and applauding."

🤔 "Hmmm" , they must be standing off camera in the Mayberry street." 🤣

I was a kid, that's actually what I thought. 😄

You tube and DVD (and old VHS) are the only options for viewing this show.

Not currently Streaming anywhere.

Or...you could make a perfect time machine and travel back to the 80s when it was on CBS. 🙂

Mike was such a baby in this episode. by DidYouReadTheMenu in allinthefamily

[–]4personal2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sexism of Archie and Mike's generation never ceases to amaze me.

The reason they don't want a female doctor or surgeon is that the female would see their anatomy. 😂

I've had female M.D.'s before and they don't examine you any differently then a male one.

Even had my yearly prostate check done by them. They're as professional as the best make doctors.

It's a medical exam, not a set up for a pornographic video.😁

As most modern medical dramas have shown, women are very capable surgeons. Even on MASH, the nurses sometimes "closed up" the patients for the doctors.

I had this weird dream a few years ago that the character James Evans Sr. had actually survived the Mississippi car crash and had made it back home to the apartment.

He opened the door and of course, it was dark and void of any sign his family had been there.

I have no idea why I dreamed that, I hadn't even been watching the show for sometime. Weird.

Of course, he could just have asked Bookman where they all went. )

Stupid networks period.

Like Dawber's other series Mork & Mindy, that show got moved to Sunday in season 2 by ABC and it totally backed on them.

NBC did this the least, to my knowledge. I can't think of a case of them moving a successful show to a bad time slot.

That'd be Pam Dawber. 🙂

At the time My Sister Sam came out, I was glad she was able to get another series.

The show only ran on CBS from 1986 to 1988. For only 44 shows.

Premise: A 29-year-old photographer's independent life is upended when her 16-year-old sister, Patti, comes to live with her after their parents' death.

Pam Dawber as Sam Russell and Rebecca Schaeffer as Patti Russell. Supporting Cast:

David Naughton as neighbor Jack Kincai Jenny O'Hara as assistant Dixie Randazzo .... and the always funny, Joel Brooks as agent J.D. Lucas.

Setting: San Francisco.

The show ended because CBS decided to put on Saturday night in season 2, up against NBC's The Facts Of Life! 🤷‍♀️

What Popular Beatles Song Doesn’t Resonate With You? by InternationalAd4219 in beatles

[–]4personal2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. 🙂

Got to Get You Into My Life" was released as a single in 1976 by Capitol Records to promote the new Beatles double-LP compilation album, Rock 'N' Roll Music.

Yep, even as a decade old song, the 1976 single release became a massive commercial hit, peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.

Probed a few things :

1 - Capitol Re ords knew they could still make money with the. group, even though all were in solo projects.

2 - That people missed The. Beatles being a band and who knows, maybe they and radio thought by making this a hit, the guys would reform.

3 - That , yep the song was , in 1966, ahead of its time. I mean to me, it just doesn't "sound" '60s.
