Okay, here's my final word about The Odd Couple movie vs tv series dispute.
The movie was much funnier than any of the episodes. No one writes jokes like Neil Simon... well, maybe Larry Gelbart and Carl Reiner... but they worked with him. As far as creating characters? He knew how to create characters... dont get me started on a Neil Simon debate. He's one of the most, if not the most, prolific playwrights of our age. I'm sure 400 years from now, we'll still be studying Neil Simon's work. Just look at the list of plays he's written... over 30.
I can't wait for all 11 seasons of Happy Days. Bring it on!
Look at the success of M*A*S*H... it hasn't slowed... should we really worry about Happy Days?
