THE ODD COUPLE

In 1970, Marshall collaborated with writing partner Jerry Belson and transformed Neil Simon’s Broadway hit The Odd Couple into a hit sitcom starring Tony Randall as an uptight photographer Felix Ungar and Jack Klugman as the slovenly sportswriter Oscar Madison. The show ran for five seasons and signaled the start of the legend’s TV sitcom empire.
