Inspired by the November 13 reference, MrsBlue and I watched the first five episodes of the Odd Couple on DVD last night. 40 years later, the show is still hysterically funny, as well as surprisingly racy. A standout show from an era where a lot of productions would have spread all the jokes from two episodes of that show over an entire season to avoid building up too much audience expectation. "Chicken Delicious, will you?" Great stuff.
