The New Odd Couple is an American
sitcom that aired on
ABC from 1982 to 1983, and was an updated version of the 1970s television series
The Odd Couple.
The New Odd Couple was the second attempt to remake a series of one of
Neil Simon's plays with a primarily
African-American cast. The first was
Barefoot in the Park (which also premiered on September 24, 1970, the same day the original
Odd Couple series did).
