No one has mentioned the historical significance of Nov. 13th

"On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew one day he would return to her. Having nowhere else to go, Unger went to the home of his childhood friend Oscar Madison. Years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy???"
OK, it isn't news, but its related to TV culture. Mrs. Unger tossed out Felix on Nov 13th!!! Mark the calendars!!
I love this show - it's probably my third favorite tv show ever after 'Get Smart' and 'The Honeymooners,' and it makes me think about how good tv used to be. "The Odd Couple" is a timeless show, and I am a fan forever.

Also, the first Cannonball Run was on November 13, 1971. 23 lunatics in eight vehicles!

Nov. 14th is my birthday.
My wife has a card and a kiss waiting for me as I emerged from the shower shortly after midnight this evening. I am a lucky man.

Brock Yates of Car and Driver is the man to talk to. He also owns the Cannonball Pub in Wyoming NY. The last balls to the wall Cannonball was in 1979. I think the cross country record is under 33 hours, in a Jaguar XJ12.

One of my fave tv shows of all time. I consider 'The Odd Couple' the last great sitcom: nothing has come close, since.
