MATTHEW PERRY AND THOMAS LENNON STAR IN THE SERIES PREMIERE OF "THE ODD COUPLE," THURSDAY, FEB. 19

"Pilot" - Oscar Madison reluctantly agrees to let Felix Unger, his uptight former college roommate, move in with him after both of their marriages fail, on the series premiere of THE ODD COUPLE, Thursday, Feb. 19 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.

THE ODD COUPLE stars Matthew Perry as endearing slob Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as uptight neat freak Felix Unger, two former college buddies who become unlikely roommates after the demise of their marriages. It's not long after Oscar lets Felix move in that Oscar fears he's made a monumental mistake. Oscar's jack-of-all-trades assistant, Dani, and his long-time agent, Teddy, have their hands full trying to keep Oscar's career as a sports radio host on track as he deals with his new living situation. Fortunately, their quirky next-door neighbor Emily helps Felix adapt to his new life as a bachelor and rein in his copious eccentricities. Despite how exasperated Oscar and Felix make each other, in the end, these mismatched friends agree they can help each other move on from their divorces and somehow make this crazy living arrangement work.
