BEYOND THE ODD COUPLE (1984)
TV movie showing Felix (Bronson Pinchot) and Oscar (Stephen Furst) as still living together after a nuclear war has devastated New York City (along with the rest of the planet Earth). Felix's fussiness extends to his frenzied polishing of the fused puddle that used to be the Atlantic ocean ("Oscar, there's a tin of Bon-Ami around here somewhere, I had it with me when I ran into the shelter, have you seen it?"), while Oscar, suffering the effects of the "New Jersey-devastation-level" cloud of pollutants finds himself compelled to become a sports writer. Grand finale includes graphic depiction of the effects of radiation poisoning. (Oscar: "What's so funny?" Felix: "That's not my large intestine, that's my spleen!" Oscar: "Now it's garbage.") Shot as a pilot but heavily edited after protests over the depiction of minorities, women and New York Mayor Ed Koch as irradiated comic relief. Lori Laughlin ("Murray, post-bomb"), Linda Lavin ("The Statue of Liberty, post-bomb"), Ralph Waite ("Colonel Rivers").
