He is tied with Cox for the least interesting career post-Friends. Kudrow has The Comeback - so she places first. Even David Schwimmer keeps busy with theater work.

I say 6 eps. Who keeps pushing Matthew Perry into shows? I guess the same one who keeps pushing Julia Lewis Drafyfuss. Unless CBS plans to let it run till spring, bradcast the reruns again and then blow it off fall 2015. Guaranteed it will not make 22 episodes.

Isn't "Two and a Half Men" pretty much an "Odd Couple" pairing?
So this remake will try to hold the fans of that show when it's gone.

R2 Where ever do you come up with these witty gems. Referring to black people as colored in 2015, absolutely hilarious! You are so very very clever. How can you stand yourself?
The show that you're referring to is 1982's "The New Odd Couple", starring Demond Wilson and Ron Glass.

Of course the ads play up a gay vibe teaser. When is Matt Perry going to come out? Talk about someone who is so obviously closeted.

Who keeps pushing Matthew Perry on us? The same folks trying desperately to make Jennifer Aniston a movie star. Buy a clue, Hollywood. We don't like either of them.

It's got a cushy time slot after "Big Bang Theory" so I think it will make to the end of the season. I will predict, however, that it won't get renewed.

Those of us who love him couldn't bring ourselves to warn him about his previous shows. Why? 1)Because we felt we could be wrong, and his "charisma and talent" would last despite our disappointments; 2) It's silly. but we didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying his female co-stars had zero chemistry with him. (Because of his near-fatal bouts with drugs); 3)We didn't want to sound politically incorrect, when his last show had a large part for a barely talented Asian.
We love you, Matthew, despite all this. Hope you acquire some show-biz savvy, STAT!

I agree. He's just a kid starting out and he's bound to make a mistake or two here and there. That doesn't diminish his range and talent.
Definitely one to watch.

I loved Go On. It was a lot better than Friends. The ensemble was tighter, the jokes were smarter, and it even pulled at a couple of heart strings. The Odd Couple looks terrible though. 4 episodes and that's only due to the pity factor.

The Odd Couple will easily play out its 13 episodes and then won't be renewed. It has the post Big Bang spot, and CBS doesn't have any new comedy to replace this already midseason replacement.
Two and a Half Men is over. The Millers was pulled from the schedule. The McCarthys was pulled from the schedule. This is it until summer scheduling begins.

Thomas Lennon hosted "The Late Late Show" Mon-Wed, and was quite droll. I'd give this a look. Don't get the vitriol. If the Sheenless, Angusless TAHM lasted for seasons even if was creatively bankrupt, TOC should have a lock.
Lennon is fantastic. Perry hiring him is a great sign.

I liked Go On and was sorry it got cancelled.
This show was a mess and the concept is just worn out. Why he would try to do this is beyond me.
He's actually better in more dramatic, less antic roles. His guest spots on dramas have been pretty good.

The Matthew Perry curse will probably strike again.
I watched this and it was only ok. I think there were probably about 3 gay jokes. Oscar's friend thought Felix sounded gay or did something gay and so Oscar had to say no, he's not gay.
Then one of his friends was disappointed because he thought he was finally going to fill up his one token gay friend quota. The other friend then said you've already got me the black friend, so why would you need anything else.
Such is the level of levity in this show.

I have no fucks to give re: Matthew Perry, but I adore Thomas Lennon, so I'll be watching(and I haven't watched a network sitcom since Seinfeld went off.) He hosted The Late Late Show and it reminded me of how much I've missed him since Reno 911 went away.

Please give me a reason to keep watching, Matt.
Perry is too high pitched and not New York enough to play Oscar.
The apt is too gorgeous and large for a sportswriter to afford. The first episode they had a few piles of clothes lying around and tried to pass it off as messy.
There was not enough contrast when Felix came in and we lost some major laughs that way.
It was a bad idea to make a straight up remake, the originals are too indelible in most people's minds with reruns of the original still playing on MeTV.
They should have made a buddy show with a different name and premise.
