I vacilate when it comes to my favorite TV comedy. Some times I lean towards Get Smart, recently I have been putting The Office right on top. But usually, in the end, I go back to ‘ol faithful – The Odd Couple. It was fantastic, with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall having the best chemistry any actors have ever had doing television comedy. The first season (shot on a studio with no live audience, unlike the remaining seasons) was just released on DVD this week. I’m deep into the second disk, and, while this early version of the show had a few clinkers, it’s a solid collection of episodes. Thankfully it looks like the DVD releases will continue as the second set for season 2 is due in August, so I should (hopefully) be able to have a complete series set before all is said and done.
And, speaking of the Odd Couple, here’s a mashup trailer that Turner Classic Movies did for the original film, making it look like a psychological thriller:
