Happy Odd Couple Day!!!

On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence...That request, came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right. But he also knew that someday, he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment, without driving each other crazy?

Odd Couple Trivia - Part I

This post pays homage to what I consider the greatest sit-com of all time, The Odd Couple. This initial installment of Odd Couple trivia is what I hope will be the first of many more Odd Couple-related posts to come.

But for now, enjoy our first round of Odd Couple trivia. Scroll down to the bottom for answers, but if you decide to cheat, remember the words of Felix, "Let it be on your head..."
