Harlow Doyle and Edwin Blackguard

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!

Are these two characters really obnoxious to anyone else?

They can both be rather annoying at times. Harlow more than Edwin.

Eugene-"Well, the sequence of events occured with extreme rapidity, but I shall attempt to recall them. I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."

Add me to that list! Harlow can be overused, but usually he isn't, and I do enjoy him a lot. \:D/ Same with Edwin. His arrogance and pomposity always amuse me!

I think Edwin is one of the best characters on the show! Harlow, on the other hand... he's okay, in small amounts. If he's a main character of an episode or if he starts to ramble on for while, then he gets annoying.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

Edwin Blackguard is okay, not my favorite, but I enjoy a show with him in it every now and then, Harlow Doyle on the other hand annoys me alot.

Edwin is still, to me, the funniest and most entertaining character on the show. His episodes have always made me laugh out loud, and I do wish they would bring Edwin back :-(

Edwin is one of my favourite characters, for humor at least. He has some of the best lines in the show. Harlow is funny in small doses.

I just heard the first Harlow episodes again after not hearing them in a long time, and I like the old Harlow episodes.

Harlow is entertaining in small doses... Edwin is usually just annoying. Not nearly as cool as his brother. :(

I see Wooton isn't an option... no doubt because his level of annoyance is off the charts so no point in voting on him! \:D/

Cmon Top give it a break. 90 percent of AIO fans love Wooten. I am not one of them but there is no fighting against it :(

( Let it be noted I am lukewarm as in I simply don't care about Wooten )

90% ?! I think that's pushing it. I doubt even 60% are huge fans of him. Probably more like 30% actually love him, another 30% are neutral, and the remaining 40% have varying degrees of dislike toward him.

I love Harlow...not huge on the episodes centered around him (there are only, like, what, 2 or 3?) but he's a great addition to episodes! Edwin is great too...love his melodramatics in all the episodes. Not my favorite character, but definitely one that should come back.

I absolutely love Edwin! I wish he could have been in more episodes. His arrogance and his Shakespearean personality is hilarious. I like Harlow too, but not as much. I believe that Harlow can be overused at times, and that's when I find him annoying. But, he's really not that bad. Thankfully, he hasn't been overused in too many occasions.

I don't know... All of the little kids I know who listen to Odyssey tell me that Wooton is their favortie character. (Except for one of my sister's who told me Harlow is her favortie character!

I don't know a lot of little kids, but there's a difference between the opinions of just the 6-8 year olds and the opinions of the entire fan base of AIO.
