Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Felix asks Oscar how he found the apartment, Oscar tells him, 'Like everybody in New York got their apartment, by looking in the obituary columns, see who died in a good neighborhood, then rushing around to try and grab it.' This is actually how many New Yorkers have done it (and continue to do so, as New York's rent laws are unique; apartments come in several categories; rent controlled, stablised, and market rate - price-wise this is from best to worst, and New Yorkers have - since the 1930's - tried to find these coveted rent controlled apartments. People have gone so far as to demand they be allowed to stay in such an apartment and have it be written into divorce decrees.)
- GoofsWhen Dr. Clove hands Felix a copy of his book, "How to Exorcise at Home," the top of the book's rear binding has vertical white scratches. These marks are consistent with the way that Oscar would later take the book and strike the air conditioner several times, revealing that the book had already been used for this in a rehearsal or earlier take. (Shows that were filmed before a live audience were actually often filmed twice, before two different studio audiences. The different performances could then be cut together, to give the creators options about how to edit the show.)

Featured review
THE EXORCIST BELONGS TO WEIGHT WATCHERS!
The exorcist, called Dr. Clove, without too much surprise, is the eccentric big guy, Victor Buono! Hooray!
He is absolutely hilarious, and loaded with one-liners. His new book is called "How to Exorcise at Home." 'Nuf said. Clove is called in by paranoid Felix, who believes that the apartment air conditioner is haunted by a former deceased tenant? Oscar thinks he's nuts, and so this wacky story goes and goes. Truly creative writing 101 and Buono is having lots of fun with his role. He's also expensive, trying to stick the guys with a big bill for his services to rid the unfriendly spirit.
Michael Leeson wrote the story, which is one of the best of the season, and usually ghost stories are off the wall anyway. Aside from the ODD COUPLE, Leeson also wrote for THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY and later, THE COSBY SHOW. Not to be missed, especially for the great Victor Buono, who is also a musician and plays "Peg o' My Heart." SEASON 4 EPISODE 12 ABC dvd box set.
