Review :
For me, one of the good things about Adventures in Odyssey is the variety of styles and characters. It suffers when the
emphasis is on only one or two characters, in this case Connie. The quality of the episodes isn't excellent and few stories
really shine. I must say that I preferred the non-Connie stories.
In my humble opinion, it would have been better to have a wider variety from different periods in the show's history,
covering as many characters, story lines, inventions and styles as possible. This set contains only one rather mediocre
funny episode ("Kids Radio"). Many better choices to introduce the series spring to mind.
As a set for the early history of the show, it works, but not as an introduction to Odyssey. Not really worth it, since
people fairly new to Odyssey would do better just to buy a normal set, and fans would be better off buying the entire sets
containing theses episodes rather than this.
Rating :
2 ½ Stars (Out of Five)
Notes :
All the episodes are previously released in other sets.
