Matthew Perry hasn't had a lot of luck since 'Friends' ended. It's not for the want of trying. 'Studio 60' failed due to script issues, 'Mr Sunshine' wasn't given enough time by ABC, and 'Go On' felt too much like 'Community' to last. But to Perry's credit they were all shows that tried to be different.It's strange then that 'The Odd Couple' is the only one to make it to season 2 and beyond, because it's as unashamedly retro as you can get.Perry makes a convincing Oscar, and is ably supported by Thomas Lennon, who steals most of the scenes he is in. There's an all-star writing team behind the cameras, and a decent supporting cast in front too, so while this show will never be a classic in the way that 'Friends' was, it's a solid enough sitcom.I've seen that the ratings for Season 3 have been quite low, so I think sadly it might not be long before Matthew Perry has to look around for another show once more.

I am not here to vote for the show, although if I were it would be 4. I was just watching the last episode, the scene where Felix plays marionette to Emily and he asks her if she wants to try out new Serbian restaurant - A taste of Srebrenica? At first I couldn't believe my eyes so I stopped the show and replayed the scene and I saw it once again - so here I am asking the producers what kind of sick joke was that??? Do you happen to know that Serbian army committed the genocide in Srebrenica, and killed 8000 people there? refer to http://www.britannica.com/event/Srebrenica-massacre for more information, in the meantime i will start boycotting your show

first of all they should lose the laugh track even though I am a fan of it but I think it does not fit here . I really like Matthew but to be honest he is not doing so well here especially in the first half of the season. it feels like he is reading from a paper he really can do better and he is always stressed and often kind of screaming, he needs to be more comfortable. but overall the script is good and really funny and just with some improvements this show can be great. Thomas Lennon is doing really good and I like him the most in the show. I am looking forward to the next season and I think it is going to be really good. I give it a 6 of 10

It just doesn't work. My expectations for TV sitcoms is extremely low to begin with. I don't expect much. With Mathew Perry and Thomas Lennon being two of my favorites, my limited expectations were slightly raised. They shouldn't have been. Lennon tries very hard to carry the show and does an admirable job. But it's geared to be a buddy-show and Perry isn't holding his end of the bargain. Whether it's an attempt at a "style" of comedy - or he's just mailing it in, I can't be sure. But it falls deadly flat. Throw in an awful canned laughter, and horrible stereo-type supporting characters (Usual Yvette Brown) the show is a complete miss and will be canceled soon. The fact it's back for a 2nd season is a complete shock to me and doesn't say much for the current landscape of network "comedies."
