I was looking to start watching the odd couple dvds. Being a fan of happy days, I was looking to start with a season with Al Molinaro. It looks like he's in all of them, but is there any one where he is more frequently seen or given better parts? Thanks.:)

If you do this search --

imdb.com The Odd Couple (1970) episode case

you'll find every episode listed with the cast.

That will at least tell you if Al Molinaro appeared in a certain episode.
.
And if there was a certain season in which he appeared more.

I agree with the first person who answered yoru question, IMDB is a great tool for finding tv episode roles for a given actor.

Just fill you in a little, Al Molinaro had a recurring role as Oscar and Felix's police offer buddy named Murray. This was the only roll he played, but he was in many episodes throughout the 5 year run of the series, but there were also many episodes in which he did not appear. Off the top of my head, I can not think of an episode in which he played a larger role than the two main stars, usually he'd be in one of two scenes of an episode.

BTW, if you are also a fan of Laverne and Shirley, Penny Marshall was in quite a few episodes as Oscar's secretary.

In the first two seasons he really didn't have a big role but by season 3 he was seen a lot more and became more of a regular
