RTL CBS Asia Entertainment HD today announced that it will air THE ODD COUPLE starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. The biggest new sitcom in the U.S. will premiere in Asia first and exclusive on RTL CBS Entertainment HD, March 13, Friday at 9:55pm.
THE ODD COUPLE stars Matthew Perry as endearing slob Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as uptight neat freak Felix Unger, two former college buddies who become unlikely roommates after the demise of their marriages. It’s not long after Oscar lets Felix move in that Oscar fears he’s made a monumental mistake. Oscar’s jack-of-all-trades assistant, Dani, and his long-time agent, Teddy, have their hands full trying to keep Oscar’s career as a sports radio host on track as he deals with his new living situation. Fortunately, their quirky next door neighbour Emily helps Felix adapt to his new life as a bachelor and rein in his copious eccentricities. Despite how exasperated Oscar and Felix make each other, in the end, these mismatched friends agree they can help each other move on from their divorces and somehow make this crazy living arrangement work.
Aside from starring in THE ODD COUPLE, Matthew also serves as one of the show’s executive producers. Other members of the cast are Lindsay Sloane, Yvette Nicole Brown and Wendell Pierce.
