Synopsis[]
When Doug and Carrie notice that their really good friends Deacon and Kelly are spending time with a new couple, Doug and Carrie do whatever they can do to find new friends.
Storyline[]
Because Deacon and Kelly have found another couple to spend their Saturday evenings with, Doug and Carrie try to find a new go-to couple. This, however, turns out to be easier said than done and after embarrassing themselves in a DIY shop by asking random couples out, they resort to the Bergers, an extremely boring couple they know. On their night out with them, the Bergers meet a couple they once met via a book club. Doug and Carrie instantly love this couple but when they get back home they realize they don't even know their names, let alone their phone number. They see no other option than to go out with the Bergers again to ferret out the names and phone number of their dream go-to couple.

Trivia/Notes[]
- Note: Patton Oswalt, Jerry Stiller, Nicole Sullivan and Gary Valentine all are credited, but are absent from this episode.
- The episode title is a wordplay off "odd couple"- alluding to the various movies and the 1970 sitcom of the same name.
- Spoilers
The marina that the couples end up on is most probably Marina Del Rey, which is very close to The SONY/ CBS studios where the series is filmed, and not Long Island, NY. You can almost see palm trees in the background in some of the shots.
