Who Would Star in a New TV Version?


I say David Hyde Pierce would be perfect as Felix. But having a difficult time coming up with an Oscar who is just as perfect. (And please don't say Kelsey Grammer [that would make two Felixes]).

I don't have a signature.

There's no one who could replace Klugman, IMO.
But perhaps Zach Galifinakis or Jack Black?

Thank God I'm here.

Charlie sheen could be oscar.

Please no Charlie Sheen or Kelsey Grammer.

Now David Hyde Pierce or Neil Patrick Harris once How I Met Your Mother ends(although they are doing one more season)I can see as Felix. Oscar seems a bit harder to cast.He probably isn't the right person isn't coming to mind just yet.

In December 2013 it was announced that Matthew Perry will be starring, co-writing and executive producing a remake of "The Odd Couple". The comedy will start airing in mid-season 2015 on CBS. Perry will play Oscar and Felix will be portrayed by Thomas Lennon. The show will also star Wendell Pierce as Teddy their cop friend with Georgia King and Lindsay Sloane as Katie and Emily, taking over for the Pigeon sisters.
