Guest Star Barbara Colby - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I LOVED this show. Does anyone have the episode that Barbara Colby guested in? It may have been from season two, though I'm not sure. As a reminder, Barbara played Sherry the hooker, twice on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". She also originated the role of Julie Erskine on "Phyllis". She filmed three episodes before her tragic murder. She was a very talented and funny lady. I love Colby's work, and would like to collect "The Odd Couple" ep she appeared in.

Thanks,
Christopher

I don't have it, but the episode is called "Felix, the Calypso Singer" and it is from season 2

Thanks for the info. Is that the one where Felix sings: "Oscar! Oscar! Ah-ah-ah-ah-aahh!"?

I am not sure, I actually haven't seen the episode before. I have heard the song before at one of the Odd Couple websites though.

I just looked it up and you were right.

Once there was a man named Oscar
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
And he turned on his best friend
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
The friend put a curse on Oscar's head
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
The gods came down and struck Oscar dead
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
(Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar)
Once there was a man named Jesse
(Jesse, Jesse, Jesse)
He wore his clothes very messy
(Messy Messy Jesse)
(Jesse, Jesse, Messy Messy Jesse)
(Jesse, Jesse, Messy Messy Jesse)

LOL! I thought that might be it, thanks! I've seen a clip of it on a N@N commercial advertising the "Classic Voices Of Nick At Nite". I have always wondered if the woman I saw was Colby, with longer hair. Looks like it was.

As I recall, she sported longer hair in the "Columbo" episode she was in. She was so good in that. She smiled extra big so that she was all gums, and sort of did the creepy Chesire Cat bit. She played an oddball woman who was trying to blackmail Jack Cassidy into bed. Anyone who has ever seen "Columbo" knows that you should never mess with Jack!
