Trivia
The name of the paper Oscar wrote for was the "New York Herald". It was, in fact, a real newspaper. It was published from 1835 to 1924 when it was acquired by the New York Tribune to become the Herald-Tribune. The Herald was founded by James Gordon Bennett. See more »Goofs

For the most part Season 5 is wonderful, and it's obvious why Tony Randall snagged the EMMY for it, but Paramount Home Video has destroyed what has got to be one of the most joyous moments in t.v. sitcom history. In the last episode when the the minister announces that Felix and Gloria are once again husband and wife, Oscar erupts into a dance and belts out "I'm Singing in the Rain." Not so in this truncated release. The song is wiped out completely and the scene is ruined. Could the rights to the tune really have been that expensive? There are other musical edits throughout the season, but this one is unforgivable.
