The Oddball Couple was DePatie-Freleng Enterprises' Funny Animal take on Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, produced as a Saturday Morning Cartoon for ABC. It ran for two seasons, from 1975 to 1977.
The main characters were Spiffy, a Neat Freak cat voiced by Frank Nelson, and Fleabag, an unkempt dog voiced by Paul Winchell. As in the play and the live-action sitcom, most of the comedy came from personality clashes between Spiffy and Fleabag, but turned Up to Eleven to take advantage of the animated format.
