God I loved that show.

Gimmee your top 5 eps.

HahnSolo Nov 13 2007 11:42 AM

BTW, Season Two now available on DVD. Watched most on planes last month. Top 5 eps? So tough to call. Here are some I'm particularly fond of: - Oscar takes Felix to a tropical island when Nancy bails out, then Nancy shows up and Felix is left out. - Felix and Oscar go to Berger's Health Farm, located just across the street from Max's Delicatessan. - The boys go on a retreat with the Monks. - Felix redecorates the apartment - Flashback when Felix/Oscar/Gloria/Blanche go on a Caribbean vacation. - Bobby Riggs - Victor Buono searches for spirits in the apartment. - Password and Let's Make A Deal episodese as well

- Felix redecorates the apartment. - Felix starts a community watch. - Felix coaches his son's football team. - Felix "Red River" Ungar and the Saddle Sores, ladies and gentlemen. - I'll leave a spot open for any episdoe in which Oscar has to fight himself to keep from choking Felix. * Bonus points for the Yahtzee commercial.

I loved the Password episode. ("Aristophanes... ridiculous.") The one where Felix flies on a plane. ("I much fear there is trouble in the fuselage, Frederick.") And when Felix gives Myrna lessons in how to be a lady so that she can win back her love, Sheldn, played by Rob Reiner. ("How do you do? Have you ever been to a leper colony? Hahahaha!")

Felix J Unger and the Sophisticatos ... dooo-wah. Stuck in the basement in Halloween outfits. Felix and Oscar have a decathalon Monks Password

Password (Lead....? Graphite!) Jack Soo (Bagels & Rox? I ruv Italian food!) Golden Earrings Messy, Messy Jesse (Ahhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhh Oscar) The cook-off episode where Oscar's girlfriend stole Felix's roast beef recipe and Oscar had to be Felix's 'arms' Honorable Mention: J.P. Morgan - 'Happy & peppy and bursting with love!"

Classic comedy, one of the few I will stop to watch when flicking through channels.

HahnSolo Nov 13 2007 02:58 PM

One I forgot... When Oscar has the ulcers and Felix hires the live-in housekeeper/cook.

Edgy DC Nov 13 2007 03:04 PM

The Beast from Bayonne.

Felix moving to Buffalo to work for his brother and inventing bubble gum cards for Opera characters.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 13 2007 06:48 PM

Yeah, I don;t like the flashback ones: They only serve to highlight the inconsistencies. I am also generally against eps where the actors plays relative of their regular character (Felix and Oscar as their parents... didn't do it for me.

Felix doing play-by-play in the Monday Night Football booth when Oscar freezes (something like "He moves with the gracefulness of a gazelle").

The Sheldn episode...How doo you DOO? Edit: I see Old Ben Grimm beat me to it. Also Ben mentions the airplane episode, I swear my daughter and I peed our pants laughing watching that one once.

I'm coming into this one late. FWIW, one week before November 13th I saw Klugman in The Sunshine Boys in New Brunswick - for an 85-year-old guy he's still incredibly spry! After the show he signed my copy of [url=http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780976830306&itm=1]Tony and Me[/url]. After much thought, here are my five faves - The Princess - where Oscar falls in love with the princess. Great dialog and sweet acting My Strife In Court - Oscar is arrested for scalping a ticket to "Kiss My Face." Felix's First Commercial - with Deacon Jones. The Songwriter - Q - What jumps and rolls? A - A frog with a hernia. Cleanliness is Next to Impossible - Oscar is hypnotized to be neat.

In addition to every other episode listed by everbody (especially, "golden earrings", "Sheldn", "Password" and "jaye p morgon"), i'd like to give shout outs to the following episodes: 1) Felix has to tell Oscar that his new girlfriend is in a nude play ("join us in the tub of life...") 2) Oscar is in the hospital, and Felix ends up as his roommate. 3) Oscar beats up Felix while he's sleepwalking 4) Oscar & Felix insult each other on David Steinberg's talk show 5) Oscar's radio show gets rewritten by Felix
