THE ODD COUPLE
The original Felix and Oscar! This timeless comedy kicks off with a raucous poker game in the cluttered apartment of Oscar Madison, a carefree slob whose messy living space explains his recent divorce.

The two mismatched friends decide to bunk together, leading to a riotous clash of personalities as Felix’s finicky nature collides with Oscar’s laid-back lifestyle.
