In The Odd Couple episode ‘Food Fight’, Oscar (Matthew Perry) is crushed when he learns that his favorite bar, Langford’s, is in financial trouble. Without thinking of the consequences, Oscar rashly asks his friend Felix (Thomas Lennon) to help save the neighborhood hangout. Felix ends up being in charge of the restaurant for a few days, which turns out to be a bad idea. The restaurant owner is Fred Langford, who is portrayed by Fred Willard.
