Rating:  - NO BOX?????????
Five stars because it is, after all, the Odd Couple.
But seriously? After waiting THIRTY THREE years to have all the episodes in a collection and spending over a hundred dollars for the privilege, you would THINK that Paramount would have the good grace (made a few profits lately, Paramount?) to include a freakin' BOX?
You'd be wrong. Five lousy pieces of cardboard, imprinted and glued together. That's all I'm asking for -- but nope. Here's your DVDs, shrinkwrapped (one facing the wrong way mind you), cheap as can be, now go away.
Freakin' amazing.
Rating: - JUST AS YOU REMEMBER----THE BEST SHOW EVER
First let me say I grew up watching this show in New York as a young lad--it was syndicated on WPIX TV. I couldn't wait for 11 pm nightly to get my dose of Klugman and Randall. Not only is this one of the best classic shows of all time--it stands up to repeated views--meaning you can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. Although the early 70s were a time of change in America- this show is more about the tried and true relationship between two men--two great friends. I am so AGGITATED that people are saying don't buy the show before it's even released in it's entirety--I am an ACTOR--Televsion too!!--and you know what--if I was one f the actors I'd understand about music rights and royalties--BETTER TO GET THIS ON THE SHELVES--then NEVER EVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY BECAUSE OF MUSIC.....I can honestly say as an expert--self proclaimed ofcourse-- THE SHOWS ARE STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY--AND YOU WILL WANT THIS SET. Would it be better unedited--yes--ofcourse, but it does not ruin the magic and fun. THIS SET IS A MUST HAVE--and worth every penny of $120.00. It's a fair price. You will hear people moaning on Amazon that this set is ruined without the exact music. But Felix and Oscar are here and waiting to make you laugh again. And the missing bits of music WILL NOT KILL YOUR ENJOYMENT--unless ofcourse your looking to whine. Im NOT. I'm even getting a SECOND copy case something happens with the first one. I think whining is ok--BUT WHY COMPLAIN WHEN THE 5TH SEASON ISN'T EVEN OUT ... Read More
Rating:  - The WKRP treatment of this series ruins your enjoyment
First some remarks about the series itself. This show proves that opposites may not attract, but, with some work, they can at least peacefully coexist. Felix is not just compulsively neat, he literally worships at the altar of order. Oscar's philosophy is not to sweat the small stuff and thinks everything is small stuff. One of the reasons this show is still funny today is that most people have personalities that lie between these two extremes and can therefore sympathize and laugh at the actions of both men. The first season focuses on the relationship between Oscar and Felix, pretty much stays in the same neighborhood as the 1968 movie from which it sprang as to storylines, and even has the same actresses from the film playing the Pidgeon Sisters. The first season is good, and helps establish the complete personalities of Oscar and Felix in a way a two hour film just doesn't have time to do, but I think it lacks something in the way of the energy and pace that the subsequent seasons had. "The Odd Couple" had the misfortune of premiering right before shows like "All In the Family" would give birth to modern television as we know it today, along with the frank discussion of controversial subject matter in a comic context.
Quite frankly, I think the show would probably have been canceled after its second season if it had not changed to the live set it used from seasons two forward and started breeching more modern topics like it did to help keep pace with the great changes that were ... Read More
