The Oddball Couple
The Oddball Couple was DePatie-Freleng Enterprises' Funny Animal take on Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, produced as a Saturday Morning Cartoon for ABC. It ran for two seasons, from 1975 to 1977.
The main characters were Spiffy, a Neat Freak cat voiced by Frank Nelson, and Fleabag, an unkempt dog voiced by Paul Winchell. As in the play and the live-action sitcom, most of the comedy came from personality clashes between Spiffy and Fleabag, but turned Up to Eleven to take advantage of the animated format.
Tropes used in The Oddball Couple include:
