Great episode of a wonderful show !

This is another great episode! Toody is hilariously neurotic as usual. This episode explores the foibles of work,friendship, compromise,and the little routine pet peeves that can drive the best of people nuts. Very funny!

The Perfect Pair

For me, this episode brought back some funny memories, especially one scene which has stuck with me for over 50 years. That's when Toody and Muldoon are going at it in the patrol car with all the "ooh, oohs" and ear-pulling. Classic stuff.

The premise of the story is for the police big-wigs to figure out how one pair of officers are able to stay together for nine years when the average is only 16 months. What keeps these guys together? In trying to find out the answers, they almost destroy this long friendship several times.....but all is well at the end, of course.

Overall, a very good episode and certainly memorable. I enjoyed seeing Dan Frazer again. He played the big-wig "Bradley." In the next decade, Frazer became fairly well known playing Telly Savales' boss on "Kojak."
