As now more than ever, social media presence is an integral part of a television show\u2019s success, it appears that <em>The Odd Couple<\/em> is taking full advantage of all that twitter has to offer. For example, as a nice tie-in with CBS\u2019s NCAA coverage, the stars of <em>The Odd Couple<\/em> have filled out NCAA brackets and the show\u2019s twitter feed is encouraging viewers to see how their brackets measure up with those of the stars, Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. Additionally, the stars have been live tweeting and the show has been posting photos of the different cast members tweeting for both the east and west coast feeds. They even suggested a drinking game, consisting of everyone taking a drink every time that Matthew Perry wears a blue shirt that matches his eyes! So far, they have 3,263 followers, which is a drop in the ocean, compared to ABC\u2019s rival new spring 2015 sitcom, <em>Fresh Off The Boat<\/em>, which has 16,700 followers. Therefore, <em>The Odd Couple <\/em>has a way to go before being the number 1 new comedy on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since The Odd Couple will be on hiatus for the next two weeks because of the NCAA Basketball Tournament airing on CBS, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the show\u2019s social media presence. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/2015\/03\/20\/trending-now-the-odd-couple\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":449,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[377],"tags":[497,92,236,496,450,385,475,498,301],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/449"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1765,"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764\/revisions\/1765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bejone03.expressions.syr.edu\/trf594\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
