Season 1 Review: This Odd Couple, starring Matthew Perry as messy Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as fastidious Felix Unger, just feels forced, tired and not funny enough. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

Season 1 Review: Once Matthew Perry and (especially) Thomas Lennon kick in as the slovenly Oscar Madison and the fastidious Felix Unger, respectively, their timing and physicality, and some tart writing, pull the show up like a water-skier behind a motorboat. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The new sitcom is formulaic, with one joke following another punctuated by a laugh track--even when the jokes aren’t funny, and many of them are not. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The basic problem with the pilot of The Odd Couple is its best bits, including the “F.U.” bit, are literally recycled from the original. It’s impossible to say how the show will progress from here, but it’s hard to believe that it will ever feel anything other than remarkably familiar and derivative of better properties with better casts.

Season 1 Review: While some jokes land, and some characters hint at what they might do once they get something to do, the show--which is to say, the pilot--never really lights up. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While Perry is either coasting or simply having trouble getting back into the rhythms of multi-camera comedy after years of doing single-cam, the other actors (including Yvette Nicole Brown as Oscar's assistant and Lindsay Sloane as a neighbor whose neuroses line up neatly with Felix's) are all doing their best. But the material all feels like Daily simply dusted off some of Marshall's old scrips without thinking about how any of this stuff would play in 2015. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The oddest thing about The Odd Couple is that it took Perry, Lennon, Bibb, Lindsay Sloane, Dave Foley, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Wendell Pierce and wasted every molecule of their combined talents. Read full review
