In this episode our subjects are:

1) The 1993 reunion movie featuring Jack and Tony. We cover the behind-the-scenes talent that was and was not involved with the project; who was and was not in front of the camera; the quality of the writing (or lack of it); and how it performed in the ratings.

2) The 2015-2017 CBS reboot starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. Topics include how this fits into the other CBS sitcoms of the era; the differences in characters vs. the original series; how Matthew Perry was the driving force behind its existence; and two episodes that made headlines - both for negative reasons.

3) The 1975 short-lived cartoon The Oddball Couple. We discuss the few similarities to the Odd Couple concept and the acclaimed voices and animators involved with the production.

We also play the variations of the theme from each production.
