"I always loved to gamble," (Klugman) said. "I never got close to a horse. Fate dealt me a terrible blow when it gave me a good horse the first time out. I thought how easy this is.

Heh.

Trivia tidbit I remember from somewhere- "The Odd Couple" never got great ratings, but everyone recognized how good it was. The network was perfectly happy to keep it going as long as Randall and Klugman wanted to do it; it ended when they felt ready to let it go. Fat chance that'd fly today with a network.

My fav "Odd Couple" episode was when Felix adopted a greyhound dog, kept it in the apartment, but Oscar kidnapped the dog and took it to the dog track because he thought the dog could race and he would win a bet!!! When Felix found out about it - "The Golden Earring" episode.....


RIP, Jack
