I've always liked the opening of the Odd Couple too, that part: "...weeks before, his wife threw him out, requesting that heeeee-neverrrrrr-returrrrrn..." I also appreciate the cigar-chomping, horse-betting, poker-playing generation who looked forward to bowling league night and shooting pool in the neighbor's basement. Everytime I pass an old blue collar neighborhood bar or cafe on a sidestreet, it brings a boredom for franchise places like Ruby Tuesdays and TGI Fridays.
