I've never seen the 70's series or the 80's reboot, so I can't compare those with the remake. But I have seen the movie and the sequel, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau of course. So, if you really want to experience a quality Odd Couple story, watch the movies instead. I only watched the pilot, and unfortunately, it didn't warrant viewing any more episodes. Wow, these two leads have no chemistry. It's also strange how "Two and a Half Men" is being replaced by something similar. This remake is all concept, and no effort. If you're gonna remake a show do it right.
