2> Give both men's occupations (very specific for Oscar).

3> Oscar's secretary: Full character name and full real name.

4> Both men's wive's names.

5> How many children did each men have and their names.

6> How many different apartment sets were used over the course of 
   the series?

     Oscar Madison & Felix Ungar, played (on TV) by Jack Klugman & Tony
     Randall, respectively.

> 2> Give both men's occupations (very specific for Oscar).

     Oscar was a sports writer (more specific?); Felix was a photographer.
 
> 3> Oscar's secretary: Full character name and full real name.

     I think her first name was Myrna; I know she was played by Penny
     ("Laverne") Marshall. And didn't she tap dance?
 
> 4> Both men's wive's names.
 
     Oscar's wife was Blanche (played by Klugman's then wife Brett Sommers,
     in occasional appearances); Felix's ex- (later ex-ex-) wife was Gloria
     (played by Elaine Joyce?  I don't remember, but it was a blonde.).
 
> 5> How many children did each men have and their names.

     You've got me here!  But Felix had at least two, a son and a daughter
     (tell me if I've got this right: in the remarriage episode, when Oscar 
     asks Gloria why she isn't in white, she explains to him that, after all, 
     she has children--to which he responds that he understands; kids can be 
     so messy!).  I don't remember any Madison kids, but that doesn't mean 
     there weren't any--I haven't seen the show since it ended its network 
     run.

     Don't remember.  The one I recall most vividly had the door "stage right"
     as you faced the sofa, with a big window on the wall behind the sofa--
     or am I making this up?  And was there another set, with the door behind 
     sofa?
 
> Extra Credit Full names of the actors who played the odd couple in the movie

  Oscar=Walter Matthau; Felix=Jack Lemmon.
 

A couple more easy ones:

   -Who were the girls who lived upstairs?
   -What was the name of the policeman friend?  And what actor played him?
