"On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife."
Happy Odd Couple Day! Today's the day Odd Couple fans can celebrate the 70s ABC sitcom. How to celebrate? Maybe if you're a really messy guy you can clean the entire apartment today. Vacuum all the rugs, scrub the shower, clean out the fridge and throw away all the old food. And if you're a really neat guy, maybe you can walk around in an old shirt, go one day without sweeping the kitchen floor, or drink beer and leave the cans on the coffee table.
The Odd Couple is one of the best sitcoms of all-time. Smart, well-written, great cast. Except for that odd first season where they had that different apartment and used more cameras and didn't have a studio audience. But after that it took off. Hey, is it even being shown anywhere nowadays? I'd love to watch it again.

I completely agree with Bob on this--it's one of the best sitcoms ever, especially after Season 1. Tony Randall and Jack Klugman took characters played by others on stage and on film, and (together with Garry Marshall, Jerry Belson, and the great writing staff) made Felix and Oscar indelibly their own. And also two of the best TV characters ever.
It's one of the few shows that I laugh at, out loud, no matter how many times I've seen an episode. And other than in New York City, where I think Channel 11 runs them once in a while, I don't think there's anywhere to watch episodes anymore. It's one of those TV series that should be out on DVD by now, but isn't (I want a set as nice as the new "Get Smart"!)
