Sorry Recordman, but YOU are. You spelled the word "dumb" correctly, but placed the quote mark INSIDE the period instead of outside. Now, WHO'S the dumb one? "LOL" right back at YOU, hon. (If you insist on publicly correcting someone else's writing, first make sure you're correct yourself!) Nice try! LOL.

@AdamKlugman What a classic..nothing like Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, still makes me laugh till this day. "12 Angry Men" is one of my favorite films and there too, just pure perfection. Your Grandfather is a legend, how cool is that?
I love it. Great ending. (What a jip -- LOL). I was laffing the whole time. Its very hard not to laff. I enjoyed this very very much. Thank you. Love you Tony and Jack. You are the best.
@renrod001 A "jip" is New York lingo for "I just got cheated".
All the kids in New York say that word, especially back in the 1970's.
Like when you go to Coney Island and pay for a ride but then it stops too early due to "technical difficulties" and you have to leave. You've just been jipped.
@vassephardi I wonder if it comes from the word Gypsie? A lot of people thought Gypsies were out to get them with scams like certain card games and other scams! Just wondering.
I never thought of that. We just use that word here in Brooklyn forever. But now I tried finding the definition online & came across "gyp" meaning thievery. & Gypsies are masters at that.
"I just got jipped" probably means "I just got gypsied" (robbed in a scam). Jipped is also used when you lose your quarter at a video game when the machine messes up & eats your quarter. You tell the store owner "The machine just jipped me". He'll understand.
Probably the best half-hour American sitcom of all time.......definitely the best of the 70s shows. And yes, I've considered All In The Family, Good Times, MASH, Soap, Newhart, etc....Nobody could tell a story like Klugman & Randall....geniuses.....they were made for each other.....and an incredibly talented supporting cast like Eleanor Donohue, Molinaro, Penny Marshall, Jerry Paris Directing. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
I love it! Thanks sooo much for posting this. * * * By the way, does anyone by any chance know which episode has the famous " ohwa tagoo siam (Oh, what a goose I am)" scene between Oscar and Felix?
Many thanks and enjoy this wonderful show - they just don't write 'em like they used to!
@chettmansberger its called "The Exorcists" Episode number 82 with Victor Buono (King Tut from the old Batman series) as the guy who tries to get rid of the evil spirits. He also played the Apt manager in another episode.
Still funny as it was then! Felix and his obscure references ("it's a known fact Lincoln loved mayonnaise") were hilarious. Oscar always got great lines ("if Charlie Chan had these clues he'd be running a Chinese laundry!")
Felix was so cute bouncing up and down in his chair when he got the answers right. LOL!
I used to think Felix and Oscar were ripoffs of Ernie and Bert until I found out that the play and the movie both preceded "Sesame Street" and realized who the ripoff was, like the Flintstones were a ripoff of the Honeymooners. And I'm still not convinced Oscar the Grouch wasn't named for Oscar Madisoy. I mean, Madisox. I mean, Madison.
@UncleMikeNJ, The Flintstones were a combination of The Honeymooners & I love Lucy. Many of the Flintstones episodes had elements of both of those shows!!!
@Shular67 YEAHH!!! Ive thot that that sooo much as I started watching this show (like a week ago xD). I LOVE both Felix and Niles..and I see some Frasier in Felix too.. Come to think of it, the two shows r very similar :D!!
Thank you for posting this. There is an Odd Couple Group nad a web site about it too. This used to be from Parmount Gulf Western and Paramount Television. I liek the logo that used to be at the end of this.
Cool. He's a very funny man your grandfather. When I was younger I couldn't get enough of this show. I watched it religiously for about 2 years. I must have seen each episode 10 times.
OMG, You have to help me..When felix almost falls off the chair when he goes in Stienburgs show (sings little orphan annie) was that staged or not..I've been trying to get this answe for years..Your Grandpa rules!!!
Tell me something Mr. Klugman, how long was it since he lost his throat? It sucks that he lost his true voice, but at least he is still alive. Unfortuanately, Tony Randall is not, RIP.
@AdamKlugman You should be proud! Jack Klugman is one of my favorites. I grew up watching The Odd Couple. It is STILL my favorite show. Growing up in New york, this show was extra special!! Jack, you are so very loved. Thank you for all the laughs you have given me!!
@AdamKlugman I would like to ask a few questions about your grandfather and Tony Randall, if you don't mind! Were they really good friends off-camera? Were there any bad vibes between each other? I personally hope not, but if you can answer them, I'd surely be grateful.
@AdamKlugman That's very cool Adam. I actually met your grandpop down in Phoenix AZ in the 90's when he and Tony Randall performed the Odd Couple live. It was a highlight of mine. Didn't have many good memories with my pop growing up but we always laughed together when we'd watch these episodes. Your grandpop actually inspired me to get involved in acting. Give him my best.
@ jhnesunshine, Oh yeah I remember catching that when the show was on ABC Friday nights in the late 60's or early 70's I think the Brady Bunch, The Odd Couple, and Love American Style were on that night as well.
Ironically, in real life Klugman and then-wife Brett Somers appeared on the actual ABC "Password" for a week in October 1973. One of the episodes has survived and aired occasionally on GSN.
However, Jack and Brett also appeared on the ABC "Password" for the week of Dec. 6-10, 1971. There is now some debate as to whether that "Password" ep was Dec. 7, 1971 or Oct. 23, 1973 - both days of which fell on a Tuesday. Some think it's probably the earlier date - because the pic quality was Norelco PC-70, same as a Feb. 1972 show with Sheila MacRae and Martin Milner.
Thanks for posting such great classic comedy show such as this. My parents used to watch this and my little sister and I liked in in reruns. I also like the song and closing logos.
This is an absolute CLASSIC clip from one of the best TV shows ever. When it came to being frustrated with someone, there was NO ONE that was better than Jack Klugman. He and Tony Randall had chemistry that only a handful of comedy duos have had in the history of TV. Great post.
The Odd Couple, Barney Miller and the Honeymoners....three great sitcoms based in NYC. I get the sense that the rest of the country did not get a lot of the urban-centric jokes, but these shows were the best of the best!!!

You can kinda tell that its scripted though, because if you watch Betty White (the Fair Lady of the Passwords) on Password, she would never have said some of those responses or clues, and wouldn't have passed pencil.
Still, AWESOME episode!!! Can't go wrong when you mix 2 awesome shows like Password and Odd Couple!!!!
I knew it was it was a figure of scpeech when I said kind of. I meant it WAS scripted. Just a different word. I meant you could tell that they...never mind
Ha! You are funny. I personally got it the first time you said it. Some ppl do not get self-deprecating humor. Keep writing the way you write, some of us are bright enough to get your true meaning. :-) Peace.
Re-Hi's, The "Sleepwalker" episode is on Season 2, Disc: 1. -- Sorry I don't know how to record and upload clips. "PITS, PITS, PITS! In my JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!!!" = Hilarious, Hilarious, HILARIOUS! ; )
Hi, yes, it's the SLEEPWALKER episode. - I watched it, again, last night. I believe it's on Season 2. - When I get home, I'll see what disc it's on and let you know. -- Man, that one is as funny as the PASSWORD episode! (LOL!) -- Thanx! : ) ~ Shaede ~
At 2:06, Felix says "Thank you, Oscar" when Alan Ludden hands him the password card. Then he tries to correct himself. Strange they didn't edit this out.

This is one of the funniest TV Shows of ALL TIME, and this episode was one of the best
So many classic lines, Felix (Randall) & Oscar (Klugman) worked so well - #2 comedy team after Art Carney & Jackie Gleason

Oscar tells Felix that Ario... whatever he said... was ridiculous, then the next password was ridiculous! Coincidence? I hope not.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Boy is it frustrating to say one SIMPLE thing and have everyone turn on you!!! I make observations like that, and if people don't like it, don't read my comments. UGH!! But thanks so much, SueBeaWho, and it takes a BIG weight on my chest to now someone out there is with me! :)

This is NOT the same Password stage as it was at the ABC studios.

Yeah... truth be told, the real set was more orange. The password font was also different.

This is my fav. episode of Odd Couple!!
You can kinda tell that its scripted though, because if you watch Betty White (the Fair Lady of the Passwords) on Password, she would never have said some of those responses or clues, and wouldn't have passed pencil.
Still, AWESOME episode!!! Can't go wrong when you mix 2 awesome shows like Password and Odd Couple!!!!

Ha! You are funny. I personally got it the first time you said it. Some ppl do not get self-deprecating humor. Keep writing the way you write, some of us are bright enough to get your true meaning. :-) Peace.

It may have been the most telegraphed punch in TV history, but who cares! It was funny, and it didn't require profanity or gross-out humor!

Re-Hi's, The "Sleepwalker" episode is on Season 2, Disc: 1. -- Sorry I don't know how to record and upload clips. "PITS, PITS, PITS! In my JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!!!" = Hilarious, Hilarious, HILARIOUS! ; )

Hi, yes, it's the SLEEPWALKER episode. - I watched it, again, last night. I believe it's on Season 2. - When I get home, I'll see what disc it's on and let you know. -- Man, that one is as funny as the PASSWORD episode! (LOL!) -- Thanx! : ) ~ Shaede ~
vShaede 3 years ago
Gosh, I love this scene. (LOL!)
I found out what season it aired and purchased the set. - That whole episode is a riot!
I also have the "Sleepwalker" episode: "PITS, PITS, PITS! In my JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!" (LMAO!)
I wish I knew how to post the scene up here, on YouTube, but I don't have a clue as how to how to make a video it and put it up here.
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful scene. :)

At 2:06, Felix says "Thank you, Oscar" when Alan Ludden hands him the password card. Then he tries to correct himself. Strange they didn't edit this out.

Wow! I'm the one that posted this episode..seen it several times...never noticed!! Thanks! :)

It's worth noting that Felix was played by Tony Randall, one of the most famous Password players.

I don't think I mentioned in the previous comments I made, but this episode was written by Frank Buxton. Funny and clever man.

Aristophanes!!!!! -- Ridiculous!
This has been, for decades, a rallying cry for me. All I have to do is say "Aristophanes!!!!!" and I laugh at ridiculous situations in life.
Thank you for posting this clip. It is a priceless, classic slice of cultural linguistic humor.
