In this story by Lloyd Turner and Gordon Mitchell (their first of two), Oscar and Felix tell the Pigeon sisters how they met on a jury seven years earlier.  Not much attempt is made to make anything look like '63, although I assume Sandy Koufax being a promising young baseball player is supposed to have resonance for '60s sports fans.  (Felix thinks Sandy is a woman of course.)  What I like best here is Felix and Oscar talking about themselves a little, although oddly neither mentions his (then current) wife.

Ogden Talbot makes his first of six cameos on The Odd Couple, here as a Juror, while Bobby Baum is Mr. Welk here and would be Buzzy Allen later, and Barney Martin is Mr. Moss here and would be Man #3.
