SnoopyStyle Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) is a messy divorced sports broadcaster. His friend Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon) is a mess after getting kicked out by his wife. The two men hasn't been together since Oscar's divorce. Their wives are best friends. Oscar invites the neat-freak Felix to stay. Oscar's friends include his assistant Dani (Yvette Nicole Brown), agent Teddy (Wendell Pierce), Roy, and dim-witted former baseball player Murph (Geoff Stults). Felix finds a fitting connection to the downtrodden Emily (Lindsay Sloane) who has much hotter sister Casey. Oscar falls for single mom neighbor Charlotte (Teri Hatcher).This is old before it started. It is unimaginative. It is mostly flat except Perry and Lennon are able to elevate the material. They are the perfect Oscar and Felix. However, this is nothing more than network TV retread.

DaveAng It was really difficult to impossible to rank this show as no matter how good the actors around Matthew are (Only the excellent Lennon), he just messes it up each and every time. I have no idea what happened to Matthew but it makes me sad and a bit worried as I used to love Perry's charm and unique acting abilities. Matthew delivers his lines monotonically, eyes crazy wide open and using one permanent limited facial expression. Did he have some sort of an accident? Or some seizure he is recuperating from? Something is way off here. Dear god Matthew, what happened man? Yes, we all get older and I did not expect Chandler Bing but if you were attempting to play A brain damaged Chandler...you got it right.

Rand Alfaris I'm a big fan of Matthew Perry, I think he is a brilliant actor who deserves to be much more than what he is now. I was glad when he started the odd couple show. His character as Oscar Madison suits him very much. However, the show lost it's focus! Supposedly, Oscar is the center of the events, or at least equal to Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon). Now the entire show is about Felix Unger, and Perry's role is merely a supporting actor!!! What happened? Thomas' character is becoming more and more like Sheldon Cooper's of The Big Bang Theory! Everything is about him and the others are attending to his every whim! Felix is being transferred to a genius who taught himself chess at age of five, and a person who knows several languages!!! He is walking and talking like a robot. Also, I find that Thomas' voice is very irritating, or perhaps he is using this irritating tone on purpose! Perhaps he thinks it fits the character better. Why not? He is aright now that he is a robot-like!The path the show is going to is not good and it reduces the quality of the show. I hope to see Perry back to be the focus of the show again and not his flat mate! Oscar Madison is only a shadow now and he is melting away under the role of Thomas Lennon... So sad.

Michael Thompson America has managed some superbly crafted TV series. In no order of merit, Hill Street Blues, L.A Law, E.R. and NYPD Blue. So, what happened,,,,,here ?????.Someone has managed to take the superbly written Odd Couple, by Neil Simon, and turn it into the biggest load of shallow junk I've ever struggled with, I say struggled, because I truly wanted to like it, and I am also amazed that Mathew Perry is involved with the production of this series.?????I don't need to tell mature film fans, that the original Odd Couple movie is a classic. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau hit the nail right on the head. Thanks to the genius script writing of Neil Simon.I honestly cannot understand why Mathew Perry wanted any part of this garbage?????If American can touch base with superb human drama's as above, why cant they do the same with comedy.???????. Mathew Perry, you are acting your heart out with what amounts to shallow junk......
