The Town of Odyssey

Bernard: "You're about as much fun as a root canal, Eugene." (I forget what episode, but I think it's during their California trip) Whit [to Sarah Pratchett]: "Chop the wood without them... and make sure the axe is real sharp too!" (I Slap Floor) Bennet Charles [about Connie mopp...

Wives of Fictional Antagonists Anonymous *laughs madly* That's awesome. "Salkers of the Unreal" might be better since it's a little more general, though. I'm seriously enamored with a number of fictional characters. We should go start a MySpace group or something. I'm afflicted with the s...

I want more of the Barklays. Whatever happend to them anyway? I know they moved but,,,,,I want them to move back to Odyssey!!!! :( I agree. Several seasons ago there was a two or three parter about Jimmy as an adult living in Washington DC. I'd like to see more episodes along those lines at somepoi...

A major character will die... A mysterious stranger will move to Odyssey... A landmark will burn... A friend will return and be reunited... But will things really change? or will they remain the same? Tune in this fall and find out what new happenings the characters of Odyssey will experience in Ad...

I'll start with things I don't want to see: 1)Alot of the Washingtons. I don't mind some episodes of them, but they're in so many that it's nauseating. I don't think we ever saw the Barkleys that much... 2)Alot of Grady. I'm not really a fan of him, and I'm not sure why. I guess we have enough unfin...

Extremely wierd. It would make a nice "I Slap Floor" redux; maybe they could use it April Fools Day next year.

Novacom was longer and had a lot more depth. Overall I liked Novacom better. I also think it did a better job of working spiritual issues into the saga...

At first I found it hard to believe that the Straussburgs were having marital problems. I guess the writers were just trying to show that it can happen to anyone... Anyway, I just thought it was odd, because I recently listened to "Sleepover" recently, and the Straussburgs seemed perfectly...

Interesting theory, Rachael, but I would tend to doubt it, since Regis looks nothing like Eugene. Well, we shall see what we shall see (or more likely, we shall hear what we shall hear). :- Seeing as how it's a radio show and not a TV show, it would be quite difficult to say for certain exactly how...

I thought the episode was pretty interesting, but comparitively to other episodes, nothing special. It was creative, but still seemed somewhat cookie-cutter to me. And, I've already expressed how sick I am of Washington episodes...

What!? How can you not like the Novacom saga?

I didn't really think it was that great. I gave it two stars.However, it was nice that it wasn't yet another episode with the Washingtons, because those are getting old. On the other hand, I'm not really a big fan of Grady, either. What I really want is the Mandy episode, and some good Jared, Mandy ...

isn't it kind of strange for Bernard and Eugene to go through 4 Corners (CO) to get to Cali, from Ohio? :-k No. :-k There's a lot of ground to cover between those two states. If you look at a map of the US, it is certainly conceivable they could choose to go that way. :anxious: But would they also ...

Although it was said in family portraits that Oddysey is in Ohio, if that was ignored, could it still be there? In Best Laid Plans, Jason talks about I-40 being backed up, and I know for a fact that 40 runs through Tennessee, and probably west into Missouri. There's lots of talk about the old west, ...

You do bring up a good point about the Older Characters dying. Will they get yet another Whit? I think that instead of being cutesy and bringing up past AIO storylines so much, they need to be developing new characters who can gradually replace these old favorties. If these characters suddenly die ...

It was seriously creepy. (The redeeming bit of it was that in the end Richard himself found it creepy, too.) Which is why I don't like the idea of anything coming of it. Something drastic happening could make it work; I'd just rather it didn't. I've never considered what the writers wanted us to th...

I liked it, and I gave it four stars. Did they use a different actor for Marvin though? He sounded really different than normal...almost like the guy who played Xavier, but not quite...

That would certainly be a reason for Mandy's depressed behavior... though I personally would love to be Bart's employee...

Absolutely! Tamika was terrible in this episode! I gave this show only one star, mainly because of the focus of the episode. Why must we endure 20 minutes of parent--in this case, father--denigration in order to get a 5 minute apology and feel goodness at the end? This has been done before, and I d...

Not so much teaching me anything, but I really got scared when I discovered I actually understood a lot of the phrases and words that Eugene used...
