Groundhog Day and Super bowl
Since I could not sleep last nigt I was thinking of what an actual groundhog (as in furry brown animal) episode might be like in Odyssey. We did listen to Groundhog Jay yesterday but that is just the time loop type thing. I came up with a storyline, but am not a good enough writer to fill in the details. So, here is the outline.........Odysseus, the official Odyssey weather prognosticator, is found to be missing from the Odyssey zoo the day before his yearly forecast. It is up to the Parker Jones Detective Agency to solve the case! There could be some fun had with "superstitions" and how we should not pay any attention to them, Jay could be the obvious suspect but of course not the real culprit, etc. I know, it sounds like a rehash of some scripts (Sounds Like a Mystery, The Owlnapping, etc) but I am not a very imaginative person. I am sure someone else can do a much better job.
Now, we need a super bowl episode as well. I say every year that FoF misses a great witnessing opportunity. They should come out with a sampler with a footbal episode and a salvation episode and sell them as give aways at church Super Bowl parties. Though controversial when I first started working for a church in the 90´s, they seem common place now. It is a great witnessing opportunity for people to invite their friends (teens) to church for a fun relaxing time. In my limited imagination, I see a What Are We Gonna Do ABout Halloween type thing being held at Whit´s End.............
Anyone else have any great ideas? or mediocre ones like the above??

No ideas, but Eternal Birthday was also a groundhog day type format.

I laid down for a nap and was thinking there are several episodes that mention a Bible Bowl but was it ever a main feature of an episode? That could be an idea.........a Super Bible Bowl! or since many churches have a "Souper Bowl" on the same day, as in bring a canned good to church for either your local church´s food pantry or a major organization, Whit´s end could be a drop off point for donations maybe in conjunction with the Bible Super Bowl? okay, I am reaching here.

I seem to remember a bible bowl being a pretty big part of the show in The Case of the Candid Camera. Or if it wasn't a bible bowl it was something really similar.

I think a Super Bowl Party AIO giveaway is a fantastic idea. I'd buy some and give them away.
We've had so many good sports themed episodes, but never a football episode. The closest was when Seth joined a football game with Nick in All Things to All People. Am I missing one? I think just a nice slice-of-life episode featuring a football player or game would be perfect. The lesson could be about sportsmanship, teamwork, or friendship.

ah, I had forgotten about that one. One thing we learned in my previous job is that even adults like "prizes" even if they are kid oriented, so you would not have to limit an AIO giveaway to a jr high or high school age group super bowl party. they could be given at church fellowship parties or even an all adult home party. Superbowl is a good reason to have your non christian friends over for food and fun. When I have given samplers to adult friends, I just say "here is a sample episode of a radio drama I really like". I got my swedish husband hooked on it when I sent him homemade cassettes from my CD albums. In most episodes and albums Odyssey does a good job of balancing kid and adult interests. It is one of the many reasons it is so GREAT!Mrs Jason Whittaker wrote:I think a Super Bowl Party AIO giveaway is a fantastic idea. I'd buy some and give them away.
