Best-of-the-Best Episodes (OEC Season 3)

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!

Post by shadowdog »

Season 3 of the Odyssey Episode Competition is just around the corner! :D

For the third season, I am including 10-12 of the best episodes of all-time.

So...
Which episodes do you think should be on the list ? ? ?


Thanks for your input. I hope you will participate in Season 3! :D

I feel like Connie and Eugene's conversion experiences should be on here (Connie I & II, A Time Has Come)...

If we're counting two or three parters as one episode...

Try some of these:

"The Time Has Come"
"Clara"
"Karen"
"The Imagination Station"
"Lincoln"
"Hidden In My Heart"
"Suspicious Minds"
"Connie"
"Exit"
"The Underground Railroad"
"The Final Conflict"
"Camp What-A-Nut"
"The Last Great Adventure of the Summer"
"The War Hero"
"It Happened At Four Corners"
"Blackgaard's Revenge" -- no, just kidding!
"Back to Bethlehem"
"A Touch of Healing"
"A Thanksgiving Carol"
"Pokenberry Falls, R.F.D."
"It's a Pokenberry Christmas"
"A New Era"
"A Name, Not a Number"
"For Whom The Wedding Bells Toll"
"I Slap Floor"
"Life, in the Third Person"
"Malachi's Message"
"Real Time"
"Shining Armor"
"Family Vacation"
"The Mortal Coil"

... for a few ideas.

I personally wouldn't mind throwing "Someone to Watch Over Me" into the pool too, but I suspect most other people probably don't like it as much as I do.

This list mostly reads like a list of "Most serious episodes", with some obvious classics thrown in. There's probably a few in there that most people wouldn't consider the "best", but I figured it couldn't hurt to propose a lot of episodes for discussion.

I actually like Blackgaard's Revenge *ducks behind laptop screen*, but of course I never grew up during the Blackgaard Era, so I don't have the same feel for it. I think that ALL of these should be in a single MASSIVE competition!!!!!

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..."
Isaac-"You mean, you crashed into this bush cause I got in your way."
Eugene-"Well, that of course is another way of expressing it." Isaac the Benevolent

No, because you're forcing people to pick one from a list of favorites. Better to have two, three or four competitions from this list, and a final best of the best of the best competition.
It's been awhile, hasn't it?

These are great ideas.

I will not announce what I'm doing (the episodes, format, etc.) until the actual competition starts. You'll have to be surprised. :D

I AM thinking about doing more than one competition with the best, then combining. Or I may just choose a slim picking of the best.

Hmmmmmm.............

;)


Meanwhile....keep your opinions coming


PM me with suggestions for my competitions in general. I need feedback :D

In addition to the long list, here are a few other good ones...

The Nemesis
The Battle
The Triangle
Passages
Fifth House on the Left
Gone/But Not Forgotten
The Search for Whit
Buried Sin
Patrick: A Heart Afire
Blackbeard's Treasure
Tom for Mayor
Truth, Trivia, and Trina
A License to Drive
Rescue from Manatugo Point (any of the old military stories)
Something Cliqued Between Us (not really classic, but always makes me laugh)
