When the show returned for its second season, it remained fresh, thanks to its newly expanded cast: Felix’s ex-wife Gloria, Oscar’s loyal secretary Myrna, his girlfriend Nancy and ex-wife Blanche, and Murray the Cop.
This season, Felix announces to Oscar his plans to win back Gloria. But Oscar is more concerned about getting rid of his own ex-wife! With unforgettable episodes, including a flashback to when the roommates first met, ‘The Odd Couple’ continues its reign as one of the funniest TV comedy series ever!”
CS Comment:
While the first season DVD had a ton of bonus features, this season has none. But at least fans of “The Odd Couple” will get to complete their collections.

Synopsis:
The following is from the DVD cover:
“Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan bring their head-bobbing, club-hopping Butabi brothers to the big screen in this fall-down funny comedy.
It seems like Steve (Ferrell) and Doug Butabi (Kattan) will nevert be cool enough to make the Roxbury club’s guest list. That is, until they have a fender bender with their role model, club regular Richard Grieco (’21 Jump Street’). Eager to avoid litigation, Grieco befriends the starstruck pair and escorts them into a glittery world they once only dreamed about. Score! No longer will the hapless Butabis be A-club people leading B-club lives…maybe.
Featuring Loni Anderson, Dan Hedaya, Molly Shannon and a dance-’til-you-drop soundtrack, ‘A Night at the Roxbury’ is infectiously funny entertainment.”
“A Night at the Roxbury” is rated PG-13 for sex related humor, language, and some drug content.
CS Comment:
I suppose this is being re-released because “Blades of Glory” is hitting shelves, but fans of Will Ferrell might want to check out his early work again.
