Remember the typing contest? "Oscar Madisox" - "Oscar Madisoy" .... Goop Melange... "La Forza Del Destino!!" What a great show!!

FELIX: "It's alright Murray, I know you did your best"!...."That's whats so tragic"! One of the best sitcoms of the '70's!!!!!

Seriously the only flaw in this show was it's lack of continuity. Oscar met Felix in so many ways. Oscar met Blanche differently each time. Gloria and Felix met each other differently. Felix was in Iceland, Italy, Occupied France and the Pacifc in WWII.

Season One had a nice apartment, but the show came to life when it went in front of an audience. Their reaction made great jokes supurb. Plus Tony Randall and Jack Klugman had the kind of chemistry every producer wishes they could get from their actors. Perfect.

When Felix falls in love with a football players wife:

FELIX - "I can beat him. Love has made me strong."

OSCAR - "Yeah, but STRENGTH has made him stronger."

When Oscar gets hired by KITTEN magazine as a writer and meets his three new assistants - two gorgeous models and a stern older bookworm.

BOSS (introduces the models first) - "Oscar, meet your assistants - Amber, Tiffany...... and Ms. Sternon."

OSCAR (stuneed) - "What's Ms. Sternon do?"

BOSS - "Most of the work"

When Murray the cop brought over a bunch of roller derby girls and tries to set them up with Felix and Oscar.

FELIX - "All right, I'll do it. But I don't have to be with the plain looking one."

OSCAR - "What plain looking one? Murray's the prettist one out there."

OSCAR - "That's fun fat - everbody has it."

FELIX - "I don't"

OSCAR - "Yeah - You don't have any fun, either"

Telly I have been watching it too, but I am actually looking forward to when they get to the live audience seasons; it seems like they have been in season 1 forever. How long do you think until they show the password episode?

By the way an example of a show that in my opinion is better than the movie. Love jack Lemmon but Tony Randall IS Felix. I've also never been a big Walter Matthau fan (ducks head) so I much prefer Jack Klugman.

They just started showing this again in the NY area, and the episodes are hacked to bits. Great show; it's a lot like the early "Seinfeld" episodes where it's not non-stop jokes. There's a lot of set-up involved. Except it's 20 years earlier.

"Aristophenes..." This show never ever jumped

The best part of the midget episode is when the whole family posed for the picture and Felix said, "Ok, everybody say 'Midget'"

Anybody remember the episode when Felix was taking a formal photo of a family of midgets, and Oscar came in? Felix had him drop a pen or something then had to lean down and pick it up, all so he wouldn't be too much taller than the father, whose hand he then shook on the way up. Perfect formation for Felix and Oscar.

"... and there was one cloud that looked liked a chicken salad sandwich." What a great show -- one of the best. You could do lines all day. "My friend Oscar -- he looks like Yul Brynner. I mean his comb looks like Yul Brynner." "I just don't think that fat birds of a feather should all flock together." "The password is: ridiculous." Watched them all as a kid when they first aired and later as reruns. A true classic comedy!
