		Oscar Madison (Robert Ryan) and Felix Ungar (Steve Shriner) are the odd couple in the Alexandria production.
		The only two things Felix and Oscar seem to have in common, besides the fact they are best of friends, is that they like to play poker and their wives left them.
		Felix is furious with Oscar for ruining the dinner he has worked so hard on all day and ends up doing the one thing Oscar tells him not to do -- talk about his failed marriage.

	The Odd Couple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat-freak newswriter, is thrown out by his wife, and moves in with Oscar Madison, a slovenly sportswriter.
		It was later the basis for a 1970-75 ABC prime-time television show of the same name, this time starring Tony Randall as Felix (now a commercial photographer) and Jack Klugman as Oscar.
		Neil Simon later wrote an updated version of the play called "Oscar and Felix: a New Look at the Odd Couple." It premiered in Los Angeles in 2002, starring John Larroquette and Joe Regalbuto.

	The Odd Couple - Characters
		Oscar is a sports columnist for the New York Herald, which makes him a semi-celebrity, and has allowed him to appear on tv with such celebrities as Howard Cosell, David Steinberg, Dick Cavett, and Monty Hall.
		Oscar is always hoping that Blanche will get married so that he will stop having to make alimony payments, which he is forever behind in.
		She shuddered at the sight of Oscar's room and exclaimed, "How can you live like this?!" She even used Felix's phrase "Oscar, Oscar, Oscar." In her later episodes, she regarded Oscar with a sense of awe and amusement, and seemed to think he was much cooler than her father.

		For starters, it doesn't make any sense that the dads, who are supposed to be close to their children, would have no idea whom they were dating and would learn of their wedding only a few days in advance.
		When Oscar and Felix are forced to drive to the big event together, everything that could go wrong predictably does.
		The best is when Oscar and Felix bum a ride in a vintage Rolls-Royce that appears to go about 5 mph while a school bus, bicyclists, runners and, finally, walkers whiz by.

		In characterizations that became comedy history, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau return to the screen as the supremely mismatched Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison, ill-suited roommates once brought together by the economics of divorce.
		One of their misadventures involves a dalliance with two women that Oscar picks up in a restaurant, the lovely Thelma and Holly, described by the trepidacious Felix as "a couple of middle-aged bikers." Played by Christine Baranski and Jean Smart, these gals are the antithesis of the chirpy, sentimental Pigeon sisters of the original play.
		Semi-retired in Sarasota, Oscar is still playing poker every week, but this time it's with a gaggle of gals in their seventies who show up for the fun of it and perhaps the prospect of winning some separate time with the elusively single Mr.

		Judging by some reviews of the current play, such ignorance may be bliss, and to me and the rest of the audience, the sturdy underpinnings of the basic plot line easily carried au courant references to cell phones, e-mail and béarnaise sauce.
		Intact is the disastrous mispairing of the ultimate slob, Oscar Madison, with neatness freak Felix Unger, temporarily sharing an apartment after having been kicked out by their respective wives.
		The big, shambling John Larroquette ("Night Court"), a master of the long stare and double-take, is alternately grumpy and hilarious as Oscar.

		Madison seems to think that a high ranking is some kind of honorary award, but such a function would be, at best, a distant second in terms of its importance and its fit with the logic of the Ecosystem.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Odd Couple (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It's been a long time since Jack Lemmon's fussy Felix Ungar first cleaned up after Walter Matthau's messy Oscar Madison on the big screen, but their relationship — and Neil Simon's witty dialogue — is still as funny as ever.
		Oscar, still recovering from a fairly recent divorce himself, feels sorry for his despondent, possibly suicidal friend and takes him on as a roommate, even though he knows Felix could use a little lightening up ("You're the only man in the world with clenched hair," Oscar says to his pal in a typically Simonesque observation).
		But things go haywire when Felix's compulsive fastidiousness goes overboard, and he starts driving Oscar crazy — he insists on coasters, agonizes over his meatloaf, and, to top it all off, doesn't want to play along with Oscar when the slovenly sportswriter asks two bubble-headed English girls out on a date.

		Madison sums up his feelings about Ungar, declaring that his "hair got whiter, [his] ears got bigger, [his] nose got longer, but [he] still retains that unique, elusive pain in the ass quality that drives [him] berserk." No matter how much they get on each other's nerves, their care for each other remains clear.
