The Odd Couple is a play by Neil Simon. Following its premiere on Broadway in 1965 the characters were revived in a successful 1968 film and 1970s television series as well as other derivative works and spin-offs. The plot concerns two mismatched roommates: the neat uptight Felix Ungar and the slovenly easygoing Oscar Madison. Simon adapted the play in 1985 to feature a pair of female roommates (Florence Ungar and Olive Madison) in The Female Odd Couple.
