Why did Katrina turn Eugine down when he asked her to marry him?
Katie on June 15th, 2009 - 3:55pm
Will connie ever marry?
noah on June 18th, 2009 - 9:26pm
Ana, well considering Eugene was a college student when he first appeared, almost 20 years ago, he would have to be close to forty.
Katie, Katrina found Eugene too “immature” for her taste, and turned him down, which is why Eugene went a little off the deep end and almost became a monk and stuff.
Katie, i sure hope so! SHe and Jason are right for each other: both impulsive, young, and just have good chemistry.

Elizabeth on July 3rd, 2009 - 11:17am
Okay, never mind about Jason and Connie’s age difference but i still think Mich isn’t right,
Elizabeth on July 3rd, 2009 - 11:19am

Mercy on August 25th, 2009 - 2:27pm
Yes, Jason & Tasha are perfect together…..but she isn’t a christian…….
missy on September 2nd, 2009 - 12:19pm
What happened with Connie’s boy friend?
jenna on September 4th, 2009 - 6:47am
Hey noah,
i’m with missy, what did happen to mitch. in one episode he was supposed to be dead and in the later episodes he was in budapest? I don’t get it.
Lauren on September 10th, 2009 - 7:50pm
***SPOILER for people who haven’t really listened to many AIOs!!!*** Jenna – If I remember correctly, Mitch was never dead but in hiding (??) and then he came out of hiding, almost married Connie, but it didn’t end up working because he was moving to Budapest and um… yeah.
katherine on September 11th, 2009 - 3:51pm
I think that they should make an eposde that tasha becomes a christion**
jenna on September 12th, 2009 - 12:47am
Oh. Thanks Lauren.
Cassie on September 24th, 2009 - 7:22pm

tara on September 25th, 2009 - 5:26pm

kitty on September 29th, 2009 - 5:41pm
I LOVE ADVENTURES IN ODYSSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Katilin on September 30th, 2009 - 2:57pm
I love Katrina I love the part when Eugen came to Katrina parents anniversery and thought it was there wedding
Elyse on September 30th, 2009 - 4:10pm
I LOVE AIO!!! Its my favorite thing to listen to in the whole world…I have been listening since I was 8 and now im 11. I absolutely love it… I hope Connie and Mitch get married!!! My favorite epesode is the ones with Lisa in them. Keep it up AIO!
idance4jesus on October 9th, 2009 - 9:56am
Missy & Lauren:
Mitch was taken away into the Witness Protection Agency, & everyone was told he was dead. But he came back & continued his FBI training, & then he left to start official FBI job duties in Budapest. AIO has told that he will most likely NOT be coming back.
Zman on October 31st, 2009 - 11:36am
You aren’t going to stop odyssey are you?
Jenna on November 10th, 2009 - 3:20am
I think Connie shouldn’t get married. It would totally mess up her character. Though, I thought that with Eugene too, and now I love Katrina and Eugene.
Anyway, Way to go AIO!
ann on December 22nd, 2009 - 8:06am
i think katrina is nice
andrea on January 5th, 2010 - 4:14am
I miss the old Katrina. The new actress isn’t too bad, though.
And I think Connie and Jason should NOT get married! Aah! That would be like 2 siblings getting married. It just wouldn’t be right. They’re not right for each other. It’d be like it was with Mitch. Connie would get tired of Jason’s restlessness and his hankering for adventure (his NSA connections), and Jason just does not fit into the “romantic comedy” scene.
Hm. I wonder if Tasha will ever become a Christian…
andrea on January 5th, 2010 - 4:16am
And speaking of Tasha, what happened to the original actress?
Andrea G on January 6th, 2010 - 12:10am
Isn’t Mr. Whittaker a bit old for dancing? He could hurt something! Hee hee. Nice to know he isn’t letting his physical age get in the way of his inner child.
oDDysseyNErd on March 19th, 2010 - 3:59pm
can we see the dancing whit video
ethan on May 1st, 2010 - 1:27pm
Noah- Actually, in “A New Era”, Joanne says that she met Thelma Meltsner, Eugene’s mom, “over twenty-five years ago” when Thelma was pregnant with Eugene. So Eugene’s probably in his late twenties, maybe around thirty.
aMAnda on May 5th, 2010 - 2:15pm
Nobody ages! Eugene and Connie will always be the same age… Like in “living in the gray”
I think if Jason marries, he should marry Tasha. I sort of hope Connie won’t get married, it would change to much. I agree. If Connie was to marry,she and Mitch would belong together.Anyone heard Love is in the Air?
maris on May 17th, 2010 - 1:13pm
are eugene and katrina going to have a baby? if they do they should call it maris ann if its a girl and travis james. how old is lucy?

rOOT-bEER on January 26th, 2011 - 3:29am
I have the WHOLE series on my PSP
its awesome…I listen to it while im doing my school (homeshcooled) and I’ve listened to it LOTS of times 
its awesome.. GO MARVIN!!!
nellie on April 10th, 2011 - 5:18pm
I think for a show on April Fools Day Katrina should tell Eugine that she is going to have a baby, so Eugine gose crazy cause he dosen’t know how to be a Dad. He rush’s in to Whits End-with Katrina in the tow-and tells Connie,Connie stars talking to Katrina. Eugine run up to Whits office and tells Whit,whit calms Eugine down and tells him the joys offather hood. He and Eugine go downstairs but when they get to Connie & Kateina ,Katrina says April Fools!But later She tells Eugine she really is!!
Anna on May 29th, 2011 - 12:31pm
Noah- Connie and Jason could get married but I think that it would be that they don’t get married to each other but Jason marries Tasha (if she becomes a christian) and Connie marries Mitch (if he comes back).
(SPOILER Jasons cover gets blown after retiring from the secret service so he goes into hiding and you don’t know when or if he will return. If you really want to know what happens listen to The Green Ring Conspiricy.
Cow girl on November 19th, 2011 - 6:19pm
Connie dose not mary Mitch. Unless some miracle happens! HAHAHA!
