Tonight, CBS unveils its latest attempt to pair a new comedy with
The Big Bang Theory as Matthew Perry's
The Odd Couple comes to town. Though Perry's many post-
Friends attempts to break back into TV have all fizzled out, they've also tended to start off well.
The Odd Couple marks the revival of a classic TV brand, but you've got to be at the very upper crust of the 18-49 demo to remember seeing the early-'70s version of
The Odd Couple in originals. Perhaps the biggest factor here will be the hammock effect; the show has not just a
TBBT lead-in but also a lead-out from what should be a solid-rated series finale of
Two and a Half Men. Will
The Odd Couple be a ratings oddity? That's
The Question for Tuesday, February 19, 2015.
