- TriviaLauren Graham plays Oscar's ex-wife Gaby. Matthew Perry and Lauren Graham are very good friends and dated briefly in the past. She also appeared in Go On (2012), in which Matthew Perry also starred. Graham also had a guest spot on "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" in which Perry's character asks her out and she accepts--albeit unwillingly.
- GoofsThe outside shot of Oscar's apartment building looking up at the sky shows the Empire State Building pretty much right next to it, but the window view from his apartment shows the Empire State Building off in the distance, with the Chrysler Building closer.

Matthew Perry hits gold on the 4th post 'Friends' attempt
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.
