Ted Linhart & Garrett Eisler

An in-depth, episode-by-episode examination of the 1970-1975 ABC series The Odd Couple, one of TV's greatest comedies.

Listen to the last episode:

We welcome back Marty Nadler to discuss his TV writing career after The Odd Couple including his work on Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Chico & The Man, The Last Resort (not a well-known show), and Perfect Strangers. Marty shares some get great inside stories about such topics as 1) ABC wanting to rename Happy Days "Fonzie's Happy Days", 2) the toxic environment of Laverne & Shirley, 3) his theory on Freddie Prinze's tragic, early death, 4) a very funny story about the late, great Richard Lewis, 5) and the original casting of Perfect Strangers. Marty also worked on nine Garry Marshall movies including Pretty Woman which we only briefly touched on as there was just not enough time.
