Al Molinaro - Murray or Al? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Adamantium · 01-26-2008, 05:16 PM

Which of his roles did you enjoy him in more? Or, in another question, which of his roles do you think is the more memorable one?

Murray Greshler - the cop friend of Oscar and Felix in "The Odd Couple" (and the only friend character to appear in both the first and last episodes)

Al Delvechio - the manager at Arnold's in "Happy Days".

I liked AL but I would have to go with Murray

I liked Al on Happy Days and I'm sure most people would consider that his most memorable role, but I preferred him as Murray in The Odd Couple. I thought he was much funnier on the Odd Couple. He may not have appeared in a lot of episodes of OC, but whenever he was on the show, he was always entertaining.

Probably Murray, even though I haven't seen much of The Odd Couple. I was never a fan of the character of Al ( I MUCH preferred Pat Morita's Arnold), but I did like his On-Cor frozen foods commercials. "We'll be at your house at 6 tomorrow!!"

its unanimous, Murray the cop gets my vote also!

Al probably had more screen time than Murray did, but i think i like him as Murray better. Oscar always had a good joke at the ready about his nose.

I absolutely agree. I liked him so much better as Murray the cop.

Nighthawk76 · 01-27-2008, 02:55 PM

What I love most about Murray is that he was always supposed to be on duty when he was over at Felix and Oscar's playing poker.

Adamantium · 01-27-2008, 03:44 PM

What a guy. He's worked with Oscar, Felix AND The Fonz! lol

I like him better as Murray the cop, though I think the average person on the street would remember him more from "Happy Days." The same applies to Bob Denver. I liked him better as Maynard from "Dobie Gillis", yet he'll always be remembered as Gilligan.

Al Delvecchio, hands down!

I liked him as Murray but, he had more to do and he had more character developement. So I pick Al. I liked his Rosa Colletti stories. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
