The Odd Couple (1970-75)
The Odd Couple began as a Broadway play created by acclaimed author Neil Simon. Since then, we’ve seen a number of variations, whether in film or on television (most notably with the late Jack Lemmon/Walter Matthau). However, Garry Marshall opted to turn this play into a five-year-long series. Many of the dynamics depicted in the play were brought to life by the duo of Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. The two had fantastic chemistry with one another, and the audience was led to believe that they had a genuine dislike for one another. The series ran a massive 114 episodes in all.

The Partridge Family (1970-74)
During this span, every teenage girl was completely smitten with David Cassidy. Cassidy, the show’s principal actor/musician, was one of Hollywood’s biggest performers at the time. The event itself was a huge success in the suburbs. The Partridge Family is a white version of The Jackson 5 that live in a Northern California suburb. It wasn’t as popular as The Brady Bunch, but it did carve out its own niche in the sitcom world. (primarily stemming from Cassidy).
