My two favorite TV shows of all-time are "Get Smart " and "The Odd Couple ". Jack Klugman who played Oscar , the sportswriter who was a lovable slob, gambler and who loved "the ladies " just died at age 90 . He was awesome! I'm not sure what it was, the sports, the poker games , the girls or the whole New York bachelor thing ...but he was the man .
Classic characters on the show . Murray the Cop . The Pigeon Sisters . Felix . The players at the poker game . My favorite "schtick" was when Oscar's phone rang in his bedroom , and he would calmly go through all the clutter, garbage and clothes strewn about to find it . I wanted to be Oscar .
He later starred on Quincy and appeared in dozens and dozens of other shows.
Long live "Oscar Madison"!
God Bless.
