Adventures in Odyssey (Un)official Fan Blog

I'm a 20-something graduate student who has been familiar with Adventures in Odyssey since as far back as I can remember. There's a cubicle in my heart just for this show. By far. FAN FOREVER.

AIO fanfiction is the best.

you knew it was about to get real on Adventures in Odyssey when Paul McCusker came on before the show

Maybe it isn't worth it to research what became of the AIO actors.

Escapist fantasy, yes. But sometimes it's more pleasant to remember them how they were.

Proud to be Internet Fans?

" The typical Internet fan has heard pretty much every episode and read through the Complete Guide.  This isn't to say that there aren't fans out there who haven't heard them all or certainly not to say that you're not a "real fan" if you don't do such and such.  But unlike fans of some other series, the most vocal and adoring fans of AIO are typically the ones who are also the most critical.  They care about the series so much that they feel it's necessary to 'keep it in line.'"

"... AIO writers are more careful in their writing when they know how the Internet fans will react to it.  Writing a script has always meant being careful with your facts but having people out there who are actively looking for errors meaning being extra careful."

I love this. I will say that one exception to my dislike for "split episodes" is "The Bad Guy" because, well, Nick Mulligan.

Also, I'm glad they pay attention to the general adoration for Richard Maxwell. Maybe, just maybe...

"And where, I ask you, would the world be today without BELLY BUTTONS?!?"

This is way late, but... it was Alex Jefferson.

I recently realized something...

In the episode "A Day in the Life," when they're at the movie premiere...

... the "movie" playing in the background is the episode "That's Not Fair."

Listening to “The Curse.”

Umm…

All I can say is, 1991 was obviously before being PC was of great concern.

I'm calling it now

Connie and Jeff are going to get back together, and later are going to get married. Trust me. Why would the writers bring him back after 23 years of absence if this wasn’t their plan?

Apparently, Akinator has trouble guessing Odyssey characters.

I just realized that Marty from the Permanent Retirement episode of Ben 10 looks like an evil version of Tom Riley from Adventures in Odyssey.

Marty

And as an added bonus, they even have the same voice actor, Walker Edmiston.

AIOC Day 10: A character you might choose for a best friend

Alex Jefferson. Remember him? Down to earth, slightly awkward, into technology, intelligent but fallible, great sense of humor. Not too unlike the current Matthew Parker, but a little goofier, wittier, and more impulsive.

Regardless, if he was a non-fictional character, we would get along.

A few Alex Favs: Missionary Impossible, Broken Window, Relatively Annoying, Fifteen Minutes

Guy Feldstein: What's the topic of today's show? Bernard Walton: Unity... Alex Jefferson (b): Mr. Walton is now experiencing bitter irony. Bernard Walton: Oh, be quiet.

AIOC Day 9: An element you wish you could introduce into the show (plot twist, character, event, etc.)

Realistically, this would never happen. But since I'm going to forego realism, this is what I propose:

Some crisis/villainous event occurs in Oswald Heights, Connellsville, and the government must evacuate/raze the city. Many of the citizens of Connellsville move to Odyssey, and Odyssey has to process the sudden ethnic, cultural, religious, etc. diversity and deal biblically with brand new interpersonal issues that soon arise.

Just a thought.

AIOC Day 8: Someone you would give anything to bring back

Jimmy Barclay. He is funny, personable, fallible, good-hearted, and I just want to know what's going on in his life, now. (And his voice is attractive.)

But he wouldn't fit in with the current tone of things.

You might be a homeschooler if you’re still getting used to Mr. Whittaker’s new, new voice.

AIOC Day 7: Favorite "Parody" Episode

I'm having a hard time recalling episodes today. There might be one I'm completely forgetting and in a week from now I might say "OH!!!!!!!!!!", but for right now, I'm pretty fond of the part in Over The Airwaves that spoofs Bonanza.

(and every single time they imitate Bill Cosby.)

AIOC Day 6: A Favorite Quote (since I'm sure we all have many)

[After learning that his tenants had refused to pay him rent and had murdered one of his messengers]

"I don't understand their behavior, Wes! We signed a contract! We agreed in good faith! We even sang songs around the campfire together! Toasted marshmallows! We had a relationship!"

- Matt Cartwood, Over the Airwaves

To this day, whenever someone does something minor that I don't like, I yell, "We had a relationship!"

People never get it.
