Summary: in your wildest dreams
Review: This is a series of cassettes from Focus on the Family. I have not actually heard any of these but judging from the previous cassettes I have heard this one is sure to be a hit. The values and morals in the stories are right on target for christians and non christians and you will not have to worry leaving your child alone with them.

Summary: The weakest one is still better then most TV
Review: While nothing wrong morally or Biblically, this CD Set is probably one of the weakest in the series. The problem is two-fold: first - they decided to go with a shorter stories for many of the shows here: so most of the episodes are only 11-15 minutes long. This is fine now and then, but it gives almost no time to set up any story...and is a long shot from the 3 parters of the past. This also gives way to some weak stories with some rather bizarre and forced situtations that are supposedly "Real," and not a KidsRadio or BTV episode (Mandy's dead fish is talking?!? Eugene's bulit a Robotic Whit, and Whit comes back and tries to connect that with Idol worship??)However, it's not a total washout. "I Slap Floor" is one of the funniest shows they've ever made, and it's geared toward the long-time listener. It's one that get funnier at every listen, and anybody who's seen the videos might have to stop the tape so they don't laugh thru the whole story! Changing Rodney is good as well, as is the "live" one, Mandy's Debut. For someone new to the world of Odyssey, don't start here. Check out some of the older ones, or better yet, start with the newer "The Big Picture," which is far, far better than this one.
But, even if this is one of the weaker CD Sets, it's still better than what passes for good writing on TV, ...
