#27 - Odd Man Out: Fight Club

yes - image is froma  differnt episode but it had the two mates on.

Odd Man Out aired in the UK on Trouble (more about that channel later), it's always kind of surprises me when a sit-com that lasted 13 episodes makes it around to my side, I always assumed it was brought as a part of a package involving other shows or either it's really cheap, my memory always suggested it was a show that lasted a full season (not half that).

The premise is about a teenage boy (Erik Von Detten), who lives in a house full of women, including his mother, 3 sisters and auntie and his best friend seems permanently over (which is related to the house full of women thing), the cast I always remembered was Jessica Capshaw (Kate's daughter and Spielberg's step-daughter) played his aunt, Von Detten voiced Sid in Toy Story and was in Christmas Every Day (a movie like Groundhog Day but set at erm... Christmas) and Natali Cigluiti who played one of his sisters was Lindsay on Saved By The Bell - The New Class for the first few seasons (one of the few to survive the cast cul of it's second season).

Odd Man Out see our friends fall out but as the title suggests there is no physical fighting and for a show that got repeated multiple times and I probably watched more then once rang very little bell with me (honestly many of the other episodes might be the same).

The most enjoyment I honestly got out of it was nostalgia to television at that time in my life (my teens) because it did feel like a standard sit-com from that era (which doesn't mean it's bad).
