It’s another episode with a super catchy theme song! This time our odd couple isn’t an astronaut and a genie but the quintessential Odd Couple, sloppy Oscar and neat freak Felix. We follow the pair’s evolution from the stage to the silver screen to the small screen. Plus, we discover this show not only has a special connection to Gilmore Girls—it has a special connection to a ‘90s sitcom you’ve probably watched a gajillion reruns of. Listen in as we try not to drive each other crazy with our quirks and get to the bottom of why Paris is comparing Madeline and Louise to some feathery characters of a sitcom past.
