The (new, new) Odd Couple

[Artemis Windsong]

I watched.  It's okay but after Big Bang Theory, it's a time filler.

I could identify with the maids reluctance to go to her class reunion.  I can't remember her name either.

Dani and umm she's not the maid she is Oscar's assistant.

I didn't watch last night, was at a family gathering. I'm sure it'll be rerun at some point if they keep it

I agree that it wasn't the strongest episode so far, but it was OK.  I did get a kick out of Oscar's thieving date.

Yea it was pretty funny when she picked the cockroach back up off the plate and left with it.

Well, of course she picked it up.  Don't want a good looking roach like that one to go to waste.

I have watched 2 episodes.  I thought it was okay.  With the exception of The Big Bang Theory and Mom I don't like most of the sitcoms these days.  I think the comedies from 10-15 yrs ago were SO much better (e.g. Seinfeld, King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Just Shoot Me...)  I could probably go on and on... Maybe I am just old

I know how you feel.  Up until Big Bang, I didn't regularly watch any sitcoms much since the 1990's and earlier.  Back in the day, I would never miss Night Court, News Radio, Married With Children, MASH and a few more.

Oh, I forgot about Night Court - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that show!  I wish it was on Netflix

One of the Encore channels has been showing it weeknights.  I've gone through the entire cycle twice in the last year, so I have to give it a rest for a while.  It usually follows Murphy Brown, which I never watched much first run, but I have caught a few episodes also on Encore lately.  I think, given time, I could get into that one too.

I absolutely agree they don't make sitcoms like the used to!! And no you are not old it is just the truth! I also only watch BBT, Mike & Molly, this one and I also love Mom!!!
Anna Faris and Allison Janney are hilarious! I was disappointed when they killed off Alvin, I thought he was funny.

[Icelandic Woman]

If I were to take the time to name all the older sitcoms I loved the list would be very long.
Why do they insist on making sitcoms these days like a drama with no interaction, not funny. I am sorry but I need a live audience or even a pretend one when I am watching a sitcom.

So we are only 4 episodes in and we get none for 2 weeks because of College Basketball? Really? Aren't there like a gazillion sports networks that can show those games? Don't preempt my prime time shows for crap!

I hate March Madness.  It totally screws with my viewing pleasure!

[Chocolate Lover]

no no, you both said it wrong....


MARCH MADNESS SUCKS EVERYTHING!!!!!!  

CBS really needs to let someone else have a turn.

CBS is not about to let the March Madness go away.  They must make an obscene amount of money from the advertising they sell during those games.  Plus, they know that a two week absence will not keep the fans of Big Bang away when that returns, and of course the Odd Couple will be riding in with it.

I broke up with Survivor a few years ago.  I am back in this season & enjoying it.  BUT......it should never preempt Criminal Minds!

I was afraid we could no longer be friends until the end of your sentence there lexxy703  What a relief!

So what did you all think of the updated version of Felix's ex, Ashley?
I thought she was okay.

She did seem like a fun character.  Just like on the original version, it was hard to believe she had ever married Felix, let alone staying with him 15 years.  It was a good touch that she isn't a big fan of Oscar's either. 

BTW; I hope the idea of Felix ruining Oscar's love life will not be a weekly event.  From what I heard of the previews for this week, that is the general plot line.  This can become old very fast.

I thought it was hilarious that they came across as gay to the woman Oscar was trying to pick up & he never even noticed.

Yeah, that was a good angle, and it did add to the story.

Last night's show was better than I had expected.  Not to spoil anything to those who have not watched it yet, but they did come up with a couple of twists I didn't expect.  I've noticed that Dave Foley hasn't been on in a few episodes.  I wonder if they wrote out his character already.

I am watching last weeks show tonight so I will let you know what I thought.
Not sure about Dave Foley, maybe his character wasn't slated as a regular recurring one just once in a while. I do like him.

Okay I watched and enjoyed it. Not sure what twists you are referring to? I did laugh out loud when Oscar put the hand sanitizer in his drink and drank it.
I do have one beef. Oscar is not sloppy enough. He isn't even close to the old Oscar. I mean his room was spotless and even when the old Oscar tried to clean his room it was still a sty.
