The Odd Couple: Season 04 (1973)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

The fourth season of The Odd Couple continues to ask the question posed in the previous three: can two divorced men, compulsive neat-freak Felix Unger (Tony Randall) and confirmed slob Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) live together in the same apartment without killing each other or driving one another crazy? Well . . .at least they haven't killed each other yet. The only new addition to the regular cast this season is Archie Hahn, playing Oscar's poker buddy Roger. Having proven their popularity in previous seasons, "flashback" episodes continue to abound: Season Three offers "This is the Army, Mrs. Madison", in which he recalls marrying his former wife Blanche (Bret Somers); "The Odd Holiday", wherein we learn the root cause of the split between Felix and his "ex" Gloria (Janis Hansen"; and "Cleanliness is Next to Impossible", in which one harkback sequence features Adam Klugman, real-life son of Jack Klugman, as "Little Oscar." And of course, Season Four has guest stars aplenty, virtually all of them as "themselves": Dick Clark in "The New Car", Jaye P. Morgan and Wolfman Jack in "The Songwriter", battle-of-the-sexes tennis pros Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King in "The Pig Who Came to Dinner"; Hugh Hefner in "One for the Bunny"; Edward Villella, head dancer of the New York City Ballet, in "Last Tango in Newark". AND, for a change of pace, opera star Marilyn Horne plays a character other than herself (albeit with a magnificent singing voice) in "Vocal Girl Makes Good". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
