CBS has cancelled The Odd Couple after one season, RenewCancelTV can confirm. The axe swings after the network passed on additional episodes, capping the comedy’s third — and now last — season at 13 episodes.
The decision pushes The Odd Couple Season 4 into the cancellation graveyard.
RIP.

It’s always mystified me how this got a SECOND season… let alone a third too.
D.J. says
I agree not very funny.not like the first series the only one funny at all was the one playing felix
happy says
You said it!!! this show was the WORST ever.
True funny watch the original Odd Couple, or even the original movie.
Jane says
I really like this show! Please don’t cancel it!
Robert Blank says
One of the few good Situation Comedies. Please don’t cancel it! If you have to cancel something, make it “Man with a plan”.
Penny Bayles says
Please don’t cancel. A great
situation comedy. I also like Man with a Plan.
How about Blackish, could cancel that I stop watching
that this season.
Diana says
Blackish is on a totally different network ABC!!!
Rock says
I agree about Odd Couple but Man With a Plan is actually my favorite new sitcom. The writing is excellent!
K.K. says
I never could understand it making a second season.
Tom Stein says
With all due respect to the current incarnation of “The Odd Couple,” I still think that the original series on ABC (1970-1975) is the best version, and always will be. Oh, don’t forget about the 1968 film with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. But, you still can’t beat Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, when it comes to “The Odd Couple” on TV. That’s my favorite Odd Couple pair. What’s yours?
Sharon Braswell says
There are not enough really funny sitcoms on TV now and this one had hilarious characters to boot!! WHY CBS WHY???? Love this show!!
Rick says
Season 1 had 12 episodes, Season 2 had 13 episodes. Why would you automatically assume only getting 13 episodes for season 3 means it’s cancelled. Especially since CBS told you it wasn’t cancelled yet.
It may not come back for season 4, but automatically assuming cancellation based on it only getting 13 episodes this season is reaching based on its first two season episode orders.
Susan Jean says
One of the few sitcoms on T.V. with content any one can watch. So many shows have violence, sex and foul language, Please don’t cancel this show.
Riv says
As for my 2 cents worth I quite like the new generation of the Odd Couple. I think they’ve done a very good job in this new era, it’s quite funny. Of course loved the episode with the whole gang from the past with Gary & Penny Marshall & the others.
Please don’t cancel.
Nyree Swanson says
Please there is hardly any funny sitcoms on tv as it is. Please don’t cancel the Odd Couple. Just when a person starts to like something it gets cancelled. Now 2 broke girls you keep something so stupid. And don’t even get me started with the cancellation of Mike & Molly loved that show and you axed that one. Mysteries of Laura got axed like come on.

As an actor who has played Oscar, and also poker player Roy in another production, I have also directed the play. I really believe Jack Klugman, and Tony Randall, who also performed the original play in a road company, were probably the best overall depictions of those characters. While I like both Mathew Perry, and Thomas Lennon very much, I never really thought of them as Oscar and Felix as Neil Simon created them. Perhaps had this series been about two other guys the expectations would have been different. To me, Odd Couple was a great comedy, and trying to make it more modern might have brought new expectations it couldn’t live up to. Just my opinion.
Netty says
I really like the show. There is just a few Sitcom that I watch like The new odd couple, Man with a plan, American Housewife, And when I start to like something it get cancelled.

The show was a breath of fresh air. Lennon and Perry made a great couple. I laughed my ass off every week. Great cast to support them. Don’t make another mistake CBS. You guys make a lot of mistakes in your cancellations and renewals. Don’t cancel this fine sitcom.
