This has to be the iconic ODD COUPLE episode, and what made Friday nights back in the day so much fun. Well-meaning, but pain in the butt Felix decides its high time to redecorate the apartment 70s STYLE. You have to remember that all the furnishings were in vogue at the time, particularly the famous (or infamous) black hand chairs! I can remember seeing lots of beat up hand chairs in used furniture shops and folks laughing out loud at them! Today they are worth a fortune! A hilarious episode, but when you look back, it's kind of sentimental too. This was a must see for all us teens and college kids, whose pads looked like this, and maybe (to a degree) do today as retro stuff is now cool again. Felix typewriting on the moving red mini desk has got to be a classic, along with all the other yellow, pink and orange trimmings. This may have been inspired by the classic episode on MARY TYLER MOORE where Rhoda redecorates conservative Lou's house with lots of surprises, and gets the same shock reaction. Lots of guest stars such as 6 foot 7 football great Bubba Smith, who at the time was with the Oakland Raiders. He was also getting into acting and this was his very first tv appearance. He later was in the POLICE ACADEMY series. Also look for crusty ole Charles Lane and funny Bella Bruck, as a desperate lady who wants to buy their old furniture at midnight. A winner chicken dinner must see, if not for old time sake. SEASON 3 EPISODE 22 dvd box set.
