Plot
The premise for The Odd Couple is simple: two men with extremely different lifestyles room together after being thrown out by (and divorced from) their wives.Felix Unger (Tony Randall) is a "neat freak" who is allergic to just about everything. His roommate, Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman), is a slob that cares little for just about all the things Felix stands for.
Somehow, though, they manage to stay roommates, developing a unique friendship in he process.
