The Town of Odyssey

More Jay Smouse!

My favorite of the season so far, no doubt, loved the interactions between Gage Davenport (Riley), and Whit Hertford (Jay). Still I think Life Expectancy will top this.

I really like this episode despite the easy to guess plot-line. One reason I like this episode is because we get to see a little of Jay's interests! Before now he was a just a bully that liked to get into people's business. Not even Rodney went this long without a peak into his personal life. I also like the introduction of another character. Compared with older episodes the modern episodes tend to have fewer youngsters imho.

I think there could be a start of some new storylines in this episode:
But I could be wrong and it was just a one time mention.

I agree with this, and both points are mentioned in the Oddcast review.

Well, if nothing was done with The Cool Dogs, I doubt anything will happen with their band

My thoughts on this episode are as follows;

* I thought this episode was unique. We knew what was going on, while Barrett and Olivia didn't.
* I liked the spin with Jay trying to teach Riley to manipulate people and Whit turning them around to the INGs of friendship.
* This episode let us see how Jay thinks. There's a lot more to Jay than he lets on. I'm curious what his homelife is like.

Overall I really enjoyed this episode. It just adds to the greatness of this season.

Man I can't stand that episode, and similarly I wasn't a fan of this episode. I have the episode a 3. I just wasn't entertained by the interactions of Riley and Jay.

This episode wasn't my favorite, because of how predictable it was. It was like I was just waiting for the story to play out when I'd rather be listening and wondering how the story will play out. I was also disappointed to hear a little about the band and then it not have significant role in the storyline. I hope to hear more about the band in the future.
The one thing I really enjoyed about the episode was getting to hear how Jay thinks and reasons. He's a really smart guy and I was impressed by his reasoning. He has a ton of "bad guy" potential.

Dodn't like this episode much.
But, liked the new kid Ryly.
Was their another older episode similar to this ep?
