I have been revisiting this series lately and am up to season 2. One of my favorite sitcoms ever. Are there any other fans here

Odd Couple was a favorite of mine growing up.

Great show. Hilarious writing and 2 fantastic stars. Makes the recent remake series look like amateur night.

Didn't see much of the series but I loved the film, it's one of my favourites.

it's infuriating. Both Hulu and CBS streaming have The Odd Couple but not all the episodes. One of my favorites was "The Rent Strike" The building goes to war with the landlord, let by Felix. The landlord finally gives in with this exchange (or something close)...
"I'll turn the heat back on". Everyone says "YAY" "I'll give you your front doors back" Everyone says "YAY" "I'll lower the rent" Everyone screams "YAY" "On one condition, Unger moves out" Oscar alone yells "YAY"
Elinor Donahue was still cute as hell in TOC

I see this all the time on streaming services where they only have part of a classic series. It's like they want to piss people off.

That is why I had to buy the dvds. I think there’s like almost 50 episodes missing on Hulu. Copyright issues with music I think. For the DVD’s the studio just edits stuff out. Streaming services just scrap the episode altogether

On November 13th Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence, that request came from his wife.

Streaming services just scrap the episode altogether I was going to buy the DVD's but I read that there were issues. Edited, heavily in places. That true?

I heard that too but it'd be hard for me to notice because it has been probably close to 30 years since I really watched the whole series. I am up to season 2 right now and so far the running times have all been around 25 minutes or close to it. So either way it couldn't have been edited that much. If you had watched the series in syndication in the last few decades, you'd get more edits than you would watching these dvd's. But I shall see how it progresses as I watch the rest of the series.

My family watched it on prime time in the 70's. Great show. I guess my favorite episode was the one where Felix thought the apartment was haunted.

Two of my favorite lines, both Felix to Oscar:
“Your bathroom would be condemned by most gas stations.”
“When I found you you were huddled in a corner eating gray spaghetti with a pair of tweezers.”
