035: V.B.S. Blues
Young troublemaker “Mugsy” Mumford crashes counselor Ned Lewis’ vacation Bible school production of The Fiery Furnace. This is one isn't a well known episode from my estimation, yet it's been one of my favorite ones ever since I heard it as a kid. There's just that charm to it. It had the right amou...

Re: 034: Stormy Weather
So, Connie, you want to go to California? You'll have to wait til Christmastime (literally!). Whit gets some shards in his legs that'll have to heal up, first, too. Anyway, the moral of the episode was finding comfort from God's Word in times of trouble, and it was presented so well in this story. A...

031-032: Family Vacation, Parts 1 and 2
The Barclay family of four takes off for a Florida vacation, but they get stranded when the family car breaks down. "Hey, this thing works!" That's a rare introduction, but it's great when you do hear it. Anyway, this the introduction of the Barclays, one of the mainstays of Odyssey's firs...

030: Honor Thy Parents
Whit gives Laura Fremont an opportunity to see her parents in a new light. I don't really understand why this one was lost, I kinda like it. It could be because of the stereotypical "Southern-accent-means-hillbilly" introduction to the episode, but Whit dismantles that, so that is resolved...

029: Rumor Has It
The Kirban family is new to Odyssey, and rumors about them abound. In spite of young Lucy Cunningham’s caution, a curious boy named Jack Davis is determined to reveal the truth. The first episode featuring both Jack Davis and Lucy Schultz (later Davis)! This one is okay, it's a classic, so that's wh...

027: A Change of Hart
Freddie Hart is constantly teased by his middle school classmates. But when he switches schools, he finds that his troubles follow him. This is a good episode. It is the first conversion story in Odyssey; not Connie or Digger, but Freddie Hart. It really is about not conforming to what other people ...

022: A Simple Addition
Elementary-schooler Nicky is upset that his baby sister is taking his parents’ attention away from him. Okay. That's it. With how many Family Portraits episodes were re-used in AiO, and impacted Odyssey lore, I'm calling Family Portraits semi-canon to the show. That makes Odyssey in Ohio, because no...

It's okay... I remember as a kid my Dad didn't like this episode because he preferred the Andy Griffith Show's take on bullies.

Whit’s best friend, Tom Riley, tells Connie the story of how Whit’s End was created amid tragic circumstances. One of the best of the first episodes. Ties into A Member of the Family. Whit changes from an angry old man, into the Whit we know and love. This essentially feels like a season finale to t...

016: No Stupid Questions
Many people don’t want to be bothered with a youngster’s constant stream of stupid questions. But some do. Whit makes a perfect match in this sensitive story of mutual understanding. I liked it. It felt... like a prototype of later stories. Maybe it's because it was originally a Family Portraits epi...

And Whit has a TV? I wonder at what point he ditched it. I don't know when he ditched it, but I know the why. In Isaac the Benevolent, Whit said he got rid of his tv because he's somewhat of a "tv junkie" and can't get anything done with one around. It's a remake of an Officer Harley epis...
