Take it from the Top

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Take it from the Top

Post by odysseyfan1 »

Album 51 is tentatively called "Take It From The Top"

The purpose of the mysterious red button that Connie pushed at the end of Album 50 will be revealed in the first episodes of Album 51 called 655: The Inspiration Station, Part 1 and 656: The Inspiration Station, Part 2 (subject to change) and will start right where 642: The Imagination Station, Revisited, Part 2 ends

The Washington family will not be returning

A fourth Kidsboro episode is planned with a theme of freedom of speech

Kidsboro characters will be interacting with normal Odyssey characters

It is still unknown if Tom Riley will return with a new actor or simply disappear

Album 51 is planned to be in stores at the same time that the episodes air on the radio
The new season is expected to start in March of 2010 instead of the fall 2009 as originally announced

Andre Stojka will be replacing Paul Herlinger as the voice of Whit

Six episodes for Album 51 were recorded in May 2009, and the remaining six were recorded in September 2009

There will be some new people on the writing team

Some of these episodes may be moved up to air in the 2009 Season

Two new families and several characters are planned to appear
One of these new families is the Parker family (one of the Parkers is named Camilla), and the other is the Jones family

There will be new characters in Wooton's Powerboy comics

A new theme song will be introduced

So, basically, the "pushing of the button" represents the changing of Whit's Voice. Wow, wish I had a button that did that.

[Connie pushes the Red Button]

Connie: Woah! What happened?

[Whit Enters the Room]

Whit: Oh hey, Connie, did it work?!

Connie: Woah! Whit! You sound Just like a mix between Tom Riley and Bernard Walton!

Whit: [chuckles] Well, good! I was hoping it would work.

Connie: Why did you decide to do it?!

Whit: Well, I thought since Bernard and Tom aren't going to be around much anymore. I thought I would just combine myself into one Super Character. I'll also be hosting BTV, washing my own windows, and taking over the Timothy Center! That's why I called it the "Inspiration Station" now. It changes your voice to whoever you want to! Which, inspires you to do new things!

Connie: Awesome!

That's annoying. So Kidsboro is really going to be part of the new series heh? Does that mean they kindv'e need to include that three-parter into the series, or the album? I hope they do. I don't really consider "Truth Chronicles" as part of the series, though...hopefully they add that three parter as a bonus to the album so people can understand...

Wow, two families heh? So, just incase the other one doesn't work out, I assume? These two families would really have to be different to be dividing family-storyline ideas between both of them.

I don't mind this news. I found the previous one to be too "bouncy". As long as they keep the original famous Odyssey 7 notes, (and they better!) then I'm happy. Unless...well...they provide lyrics to the show:

"Welcome to Odyssey!
There's so many fun things to see!
Like Bunnies, and Kitties, and old Whit too!
We'll run through the fields, and learn things new!"

Yea, this new season has me nervous just a tad bit.

I thought one of the interviews made it fairly clear that he wouldn't be back for album 51 (but might still come back for a later album).

That wiki page is awesome, by the way. You might want to consider adding references - so people can find out where the spoiler(s) was originally announced. :)

I just cleaned it up some, but I can't quite remember where all of those facts were orginally found. :-k

As if the art and new Whit weren't bad enough, they're changing the theme song???

They tend to do that every few years.

No, Bernard and Tom could still come back. We just know that that decision won't be made until after album 51. Therefore, neither character will be appearing in said album, but both still have potential returns in 52 or later albums.

Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, we've had at least six or seven variations of the theme song over the last couple decades. ;)

There's a difference between a new "variation" and a new "theme." There seems to be some confusion here about which is indicated.

I think it's more a matter of semantics, really. Every time they update the theme, it's new. But in the grand scheme of things, it's always a variation of the original theme.
