Favorite AIO writer?

Post by jelly »

It seems like there might have been a thread like this, but it's not in the recent past.

Who's your favorite writer for AIO? Mine would either be Nathon Hoobler or Marshal Younger... can't quite decide. (then again, since the new Official Guide came out Nathon's like my biggest hero!!)

It's hard to choose... I swear we've done this before too... I'll say Nathan!

I think Nathan Hoobler is probably my fave. Bob Hoose has also had a few highpoints too.

That's very hard, maybe Paul McCusker... or Nathan Hoobler. I don't know.

Phil Lollar was a writer, right? Or did I totally make that one up? :anxious:

Yes, Phil Lollar wrote lots of good episodes, as well doing a few voices - click here to see a good list from AIO Soda! \:D/ Lots of fan favourites can be recognized on the list of episodes that he wrote.

I would never be able to pick a favourite writer, since there are so many great writers for AIO! :D I love lots of different episodes written by a variety of writers. One person not mentioned in this thread yet is Torry Martin, who seems to be the one that we have to thank for the early Wooton days. Since I love Wooton more with every new episode, I wanted to mention a writer that may not have written a lot of episodes, but who was quite influential. \:D/

Tough one.

My old answer probably would be: Paul McCusker first, followed by Marshall, and then Nathan. But Paul hasn't been as reliable as he used to be. Marshall stays pretty reliable with his episodes. Nathan tends to throw in a really good episode per album.

While I was reading this I was thinking of that one episode of the official podcast that came out back in May.

"How long does it take the average AIO writer to write a script? You can use any writer but my first pick would be Marshal Younger"

Marshal: " Well Marshal Younger would be my first pick too"

Picking my favorite writer is rather difficult because most of the Adventures in Odyssey episodes are so good (with the exclusion of the Mulligan clan episodes). However one of the things that can always bring a smile to my face is "Wear your groveling vest, it will be perfect for the occassion". So I would have to say Nathan Hoobler. However don't think that I don't love the other writers as well. Marshal Younger is pretty funny too. And if your name happens to be Torry Martin, Kathy Buchanan, Phil Lollar, Paul McCusker or Dave Arnold I love you all too!

What was so bad about the Mulligan episodes :anxious:, I mean they arent my favorite episodes but they weren't that bad. Well anyways, it's really hard to say who's my favorite because really they all have strong points that can make for really good episodes. I would say that the beginning episodes were best written by Phil Lollar and Paul McCusker and Paul McCusker has been pretty consistent with his writing over the many years. Also, Marshal Younger has done very well from really his beginning to the present and of course Nathan Hoobler because lately they've done some excellent stories. I am partially biased to Torry Martin because he created Wooton and I met him shortly after he wrote his last episode which I think is The Poor Rich Guy and he told me he'd put me in his next episode. Unfortunately, that never happened because he never wrote another episode :(. Anyways, those are my favorite writers, but I do want to say that Kathey Wiergana (I hope that's how you spell her last name :anxious:) has had some good episodes as well but Nathan and Marshal's episodes have just had more of a draw to me.
