The always fascinating BroadwayCon will be happening in just a few short days and one of the things that always interests me about this theatrical convention is the exhibitor room. Sure I love the theatre and all the performances but the consumer side of me just loves to see what kinds of exhibitors will be in attendance. Take a look down below if you are considering attending this event. I do believe there are still some of the general tickets available so if you’re a fan of that which be Broadway, come on out and celebrate with your fellow theatre mavens at BroadwayCon. Also, they recently announced that the event would be moved from the New York Hilton Midtown to the New York Marriott Marquis and I documented that HERE in case you’d care to review the information.

“On November 13, 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 that, someday, he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Sometime 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?”

Such began the proceedings for the 1970 comedy series “The Odd Couple” which was an adaptation of the hit play by the legendary Neil Simon. While the play featured Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the show starred Tony Randall and Jack Klugman as Felix Unger and Oscar Madison respectively. It ran for five seasons and some “114” episodes when all was said and done. It’s a favorite for many and while I also enjoyed the show, I cannot claim any level of dedication to it. It’s the kind of thing I would love to one day binge from start to finish which leads me to this particular post. Once I learned that WLNY was going to be doing a fairly comprehensive marathon I decided to add it. As my inclusion of this marathon was a bit of a last minute decision I mostly used their own network website as a reference. So please if there are any inconsistencies I direct you to their side of the fence and not mine. I have never included this show to my usual yearly rundowns of “The Honeymooners” and “The Twilight Zone” (the latter program being posted on PiercingMetal since it fits best there) but since it had so many episodes I felt that it might make for some good Google traffic and with this being the end of the year it will be nice to get some surges for the website. Now without any further adieu please take a look at the marathon that will begin later on tonight. If you plan on programming this onto the DVR you should start doing that now to get it out of the way.

9:00PM – The Laundry Orgy

10:00PM – The Jury Story
