I remember the Original Odd Couple Television Show Starring Jack Klugman as Oscar Madison and Tony Randall as Felix Unger. I really enjoyed that show. But, now I got a little Skeptical when they were Releasing the new Odd Couple starring Matthew Perry as Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as Felix Unger. But, I have to say after watching the 1st Episode of the new Show. I was Blown Away, I have Never Laughed so Hard. They did a Great Job on this Show. I Hope the Laughs keep on Coming. --Great Job--

Wasn't sure about the casting. The writing is funny. Just when you get tired of two and a half men, they bring this show. The humor is not as raunchy, and I'm glad. I got a huge laugh out of it!

This is the reboot of Neil Simon's classic play we've all been waiting for. There really aren't any two actors better to play the roles of Oscar Madison and Felix Unger than Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. I would actually argue that this sitcom (with only three episodes aired so far) is way better than any full season of "Two And A Half Men." We should also appreciate the fact that they kept the theme song similar to the movies & plays. Perry plays a realistic, but likeable slob and Lennon nails all of the eccentricities of Felix. I'm also glad they casted Yvette Nicole Brown in this too. Overall, Grade-A sitcom.
