From Happy Days to Laverne & Shirley to Mork & Mindy to The Odd Couple to The Dick Van Dyke Show to Pretty Woman to Beaches to The Princess Diaries to Runaway Bride to Brooklyn Nine-Nine to Louie to BoJack Horseman to The Simpsons and way more as a writer, director, producer, and/or actor, Garry Marshall pretty much did almost all that you could do in Hollywood over several decades.

Marshall passed away yesterday as a result of pneumonia complications after a stroke at the age of 81.

Whether you’re familiar with the work mentioned above or not, you should rewatch or introduce yourself to it as Marshall has left an indelible mark on comedy on film and television.

FX Buys Modern Day Odd Couple Comedy From Randall Einhorn

FX/FXx adds another intriguing project to their slate with a Randall Einhorn (Wilfred, The Office) an adaptation of an ‘odd couple’ type novel that’s a little bit of a departure from the typical odd couple fare, but relies on the same dynamic.

That is, unless we’re mistaken, and The Odd Couple featured gang members and drug use.
