Did anyone ever notice that in the play and this film, Felix was a writer for the television news? However, in the television series, Felix was a photographer.

As a photographer myself I like the idea since some of the story lines had Felix in his studio and then that time he did the PLAYBOY models plus the midget family.
The kids had different names on the show as well.
I saw this film when I was in the army, it was always nice seeing my home town when I was stationed in the Midwest.
Another Simon I saw back then was "Barefoot in the Park"

I love "Barefoot in the Park" also, but I consider "The Odd Couple" Neil Simon's crowning achievement as well as that of the whole cast. This is the standard by which comedy writing and performing should be judged.

Yes it is a great story but its also a sad story, here's two men who are both divorced which is always a sad thing, what more Felix DID try to kill himself so in some ways this is a dark comedy.

The rating system did not start up till later in 1968, anyway films that would've gotten PG or PG-13 these days received Gs i.e. Beneath the Planet of the Apes

Felix's profession may have been changed for TV because being a photographer was more flexible than a TV news writer. A photog could make his own hours and interact with more people.

Oh he can?
I've been a pro on and off for over 30 years I've come back from evening weddings
that lasted past two AM and then an hrs or more drive from Long Island etc.
You go where the business takes you, not always your own hrs
