No. The show is going on hiatus. Unless Marshal and Nathan are lying to us--which I highly doubt to an astronomical degree--hiatus doesn't equal "the show is ending".

I know that, but it could mean the end. Isn't the hiatus taking place so they can 'rethink the future of Odyssey'? I'm just sayin', they seemed to have 'wrapped up' pretty nice and it IS their 50th volume, after 20 years. Wouldn't it be a convenient set of numbers to quit on? :-k

All of what you wrote is true.

That still doesn't mean AIO is ending. I'd be very surprised if it did end.

Because someone else said it first and Harlow, being several sandwiches short of a picnic, thought that this was true ;)

Personally I didn't like that Wooton was revealed as the writer of Powerboy. There were several ways to show Harlow wasn't the writer and still keep the secret.

And the last episode, The Imagination Station Revisited I&II, features Kelly going on an Imagination Station adventure, the theme is Salvation. That's another loose end that could possably get tied up. AIO is not going to end, though.

I was expecting more from this show. However, hearing Harlow Doyle was nice. Probably one of the worst from this season, but still entertaining enough. 3/5.

Wooton brings his famous, jovial style to this episode. He is the reason that Odyssey loses the "Best Small Town in America" contest. We'd rather have him than win any old contest, though! Wooton is willing to leave, but the townsfolk vote to keep him here and allow Sunshine Beach to win. Shame on you, Margaret Faye! People are more important than some dumb contest.

How on earth could Harlow actually think he is the author of PowerBoy? He doesn't even know how to spell "Icabodia!" (do any of us?) Wooton needs to be more careful with the mail he delivers. Maybe he could learn a lesson from his substitute whatever-his-name-his.

Wooton: "In order for Odyssey to win the contest, I have to leave the country for a year."
Eugene: "Wooton, moving to Odenton hardly qualifies as 'leaving the country!'"
Wooton: "Oh. County then. I get those two mixed up a lot. I guess that's why I always take those weekend trips to Switzerland."

Just wondering: why do you say " 'tis" instead of it is? Is it easier and shorter? Or do you prefer the traditional English?

(When will I not be so new here?)
What is 'dipwad, and 'mundo?' I think mundo might come from the Latin mundi which means world. I think I can guess what 'awesomistical' is.
