- In the episode "Password", as he's being dragged off stage Felix says that he has a home edition of the game in his glove compartment. However, it could be said he was only saying things at random to stay on the show, or perhaps he DID own a car, but lost it to Gloria in the divorce settlement. edit »
- Inconsistency: Felix gives their address as 74th and Central Park West, which puts it on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. In the second season episode, "Where's Granpa?" dialog gives the address as 1049 Park Avenue, which is on the Upper East Side, on the opposite side of Central Park. edit »
- This script was used nearly verbatim for an episode of the short-lived 1982 remake, The New Odd Couple. edit »
- Dick Clark was another ABC celebrity to appear on this show. At the time, Clark was well into his 32 year run as host of American Bandstand, which ran on ABC early on Saturday afternoons. edit »
- This episode uses a substantial number of location shots filmed in New York City, unusual since the show is filmed in Hollywood. edit »
- Felix: But if you do this, the Lord will never forgive you.
Oscar: If He owned a car in New York, He would! edit » - Felix: I love that car! And it loves me!
Page: Find yourself a nice girl. You'll be a lot better off. edit » - Page: As soon as the wheels touch down outside the showroom, it depreciates. It's like a new bride. She can be married ten minutes -- no more new. edit »
- Oscar: You think I cheated him?
Myrna: Yeah.
Oscar: You think I cheated him?
Murray: Yes.
Oscar: Who cares what you think! edit » - Dick Clark: Time now for our big telephone quiz and the subject today is uh, is uh, opera. Opera is the subject. And for you kids, that's music with a lot of killing. edit »
