Neil Simon’s well-known play, The Odd Couple, and the parallel series, are getting a reboot on television this coming year. Having already landed on CBS and starring the well-known Friends pal, Matthew Perry, it seems the network is preparing to massively promote the show with an over-hyped premiere.
Airing on Thursdays, The Odd Couple is scheduled to get a strong start. Airing right after hit series, The Big Bang Theory, viewers will tune in anyway after it’s over, to watch Two And A Half Men‘s series finale. Being settled right between the two top-rated series, it is only fair to say that the network is willing to give the new project the best of opportunities to do well. In addition to that, Men will later be replaced by repeats of Big Bang. If that is not hyping up an upcoming show, then we don’t know what is!
The Odd Couple will star Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon, with the former playing the sloppy Oscar Madison and the latter the nerd-ish Felix Unger. Lindsay Sloane, Wendell Pierce and Yvette Nicole Brown complete the list of main stars, while Lauren Graham, Leslie Bibb, Geoff Stults and Regis Philbin will be surrounding their performance.
Make sure you tune in on NBC for The Odd Couple‘s premiere on February 19, 2015, at 8:30 p.m.
