Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Adaptation Displacement: Most people tend to think of the TV version first.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: One word: "Password!"
    • Another word: "Assume"
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: When Roy Clark guest-starred, the episode's tag featured him performing his signature piece "Malaguena". The audience, Tony Randall and Jack Klugman were all blown away by the performance.
  • Ear Worm: Just try to get that Neal Hefti theme out of your head.
  • Ho Yay: And not just to modern eyes: Many a joke has been told about the peculiar nature of Oscar and Felix's relationship over the years.
    • ABC was nervous about any such implications, which led Randall and Klugman to playfully film extra scenes with the Ho Yay dialed Up to Eleven, just to give the censors fits.
    • And somewhat ironically, just as ABC was taking pains to emphasize the characters' divorced status, CBS was insisting just as strongly that Mary Richards NOT be divorced as The Mary Tyler Moore Show's creators intended her to be. (A male/female double standard, if ever there was one!)
  • Recycled Script: The New Odd Couple reused 8 scripts from the original.
