- TriviaWhen the parking garage owner (John Byner) asks Felix and Oscar where they live, Felix says, "74th and Central Park West". That address is the San Remo, which was Tony Randall's actual residence for many years. It's also used for the exterior shots of Felix & Oscar's apartment during the series' 4th and 5th years.
- GoofsYou can see the area on the back of Felix's car moving chart that's scored so Oscar can punch a hole through it.
- Quotes
Felix Unger: I'll never forget the first time the folks let me take the car out by myself. My High School graduation. I tied a raccoon tail to the antenna. I took Mildred Fleener to the Prom. After the Prom we went for triple pistachio sundaes, and we parked in the moonlight. She threw up all over the front seat. You think I was wrong not to kiss her goodnight?
Featured review
YOU'LL BE BEGGIN ON YOUR KNEES, LIKE MY MOTHER!
If you're a city dweller and own a car --GOOD LUCK.
Such is the problem with Oscar and Felix, who win a new car on a radio show. Now, where to park it??
I remember this one when it first came out and thought it was hilarious, and as I grew older, especially trying to find a parking space, NEVER forgot this episode. This was a well written MURPHYS LAW dark comedy and with a guest appearance by Dick Clark. Clark plays a DJ, a throwback to his early days in radio. John Byner is a hoot as the manager of a parking garage, with all the street parking rules and regulations. "I'll give ya a call in three or four years!" he exclaims. Character actress Bella Bruck (popular in many sitcoms) plays " Pushover Page" the used car buyer, ready to snatch the car for pennies on the dollar. Do not miss the wino in the parking space, and not a gag as this happens, especially if you're parking in Hollywood. SEASON 4 dvd box set.
