Felix & Oscar's TV set on 'The Odd Couple'

So, who can guess which brand/year the set they had was? I guess it was a '72/ '73, definitely color, and I have no idea what brand it was.

I'm pretty sure they used the same TV throughout the whole series run.

Admiral, if it's the same one I remember seeing. It was one of those 19" metal-cased table models.

I'll second Admiral...for both of the ones they used. They had what I think was a 23" in the first two seasons, then switched to a 25" around maybe '73.

I remember The Brady Bunch also had an Admiral, maybe a little smaller than the Odd Couple's. I wonder if someone at ABC or Paramount had something to do with that.

The odd couple was a great show. Felix was a great role model!
The Brady Bunch may have had an Admiral but I remember clearly an 18" or 20" remote control Zenith from about '69 or '70 on a TV stand in the room behind the kitchen. That is a model I want to obtain in the 18" non remote in a white vinyl cabinet. If someone has one I'll pay a handsome price for it. I bet I get no response. Boohoo.

I used to get teased in school by being compared to Felix . I'm a clean freak, I guess.
