I'll watch another couple of episodes to see if it gets better.

I def will have to watch it. I just have to remember that it wont be like Klugman/Randall nor should it. Let this New Odd Couple stand on its own.

If anything The Odd Couple is a franchise that is prone to being re-invented every now and then. Success or failure of one comic pairing doesn't take away from what Klugman/Randall did.

I really agree. It's like Hawaii Five-O. The original was a classic but I like the new one as well. I don't think it taints the original. I'm usually against remakes but once in a while it works. I'm not saying this new Odd Couple is great but I'll continue to watch it and see how it goes.

Yeah, I pay for Hulu Plus through my PlayStation at $7.00 a month.

I agree! Comedies always take time to find their groove, and I think The Odd Couple has potential. Matthew Perry was a little stiff in the pilot, but he loosened up last night. In addition, there were a few times I laughed out loud last night, and I didn't do that during the pilot.

I'm hoping for an even better episode three!
