In 1970 Klugman was cast as Oscar Madison in the {{sitcom}} ''Series/TheOddCouple1970''. Running for five seasons, the show was a StarMakingRole for both him and to a lesser extent its Felix Unger portrayer Creator/TonyRandall. (Lesser because Randall had already been considered a lead actor.) Soon after The Odd Couple had signed off, Klugman had another hit show, playing the title character for seven seasons on ''Series/QuincyME''.

Klugman died of prostate cancer in 2012, after an earlier bout of cancer had claimed one of his lungs. He was married twice to actress Creator/BrettSomers, with whom he had two children. During his final years he was married to Peggy Crosby
