Eugene is one of my favorite characters, he is so funny! He’s a braniac and he has a sense of humor at the same time.

WOW EUGENE IS SO COOL!! I LOVE HIM!! (HE IS SO FUNNY)!!
The Wolf on June 5th, 2009 - 9:51am
Eugene is maybe the best character on the show, if it is not Jason. The best ones are the ones with both of them in it. The two of them together are dangerous.

Eugene is the most awesome character on AIO and I love it when him and Connie have fights! That imattation of Chris was totally cool! oh and whoever says that eugene and katrina should have a baby don’t that would totally mess everything up! make sure to bring Eugene back in lots of future episodes

odysseyfreak on November 18th, 2009 - 4:36pm
my favorite line that eugene says is one i hear often, and when he’s confused, it sounds funnier with eugene’s voice though, “Huh?”
dan on December 21st, 2009 - 9:22am
i like eugene
AIo freak on January 23rd, 2010 - 6:01pm
Eugene is funny and scientific!
AIo freak on January 23rd, 2010 - 6:11pm
Katie and Will sound great together! But that couldn’t be Will voicing Chris Anthony… could it?
AIo freak on January 23rd, 2010 - 6:40pm
10 cheers for Eugene! [ if you can type that much.]
Lynn on January 28th, 2010 - 4:40pm
Hipp Hipp Horay! I can’t type that much! Eugine looked much better before his makeover
sage on February 9th, 2010 - 10:12am
Eugene is my favorite character! Odyssey wouldn’t be the same without him!
Beth on February 12th, 2010 - 5:54pm
Will Ryan did a great job when he immitated Chris! I couldn’t tell the difference.
Eugene Fan on May 1st, 2010 - 7:38pm
Eugene is one of my favorite characters! Thank you Will Ryan!, and THANK YOU ODYSSEY!
P.S.-Does anyone know where I can get an Adventures in Odyssey T-shirt?
cary on August 2nd, 2010 - 7:48am
I would have never gussed harlow and Eugene are the same person! that is unless i have heard and read it like 1,000,000 times!
madison on August 5th, 2010 - 1:41pm
I let my little brother listen to the part with Will Ryan doing Chris and he got this funny look of disbelief on his face.
summer on September 3rd, 2010 - 5:43pm
I LOVE EUGENE! HE IS MY FAVORITE!
TRICH on January 20th, 2011 - 11:42am
Wow! I can’t beleive thats how you look Will! Eugene is one of my Fav Odyssey charectars!( Did i spell charectars right? lol ) Um, but I love Odyssey’s Novacom series the best! Can’t wait for the new episodes!
~Trich
TRICH on January 20th, 2011 - 11:46am
WHAT?!! WILL RYAN PLAYS HARLOW DOYAL? THIS IS LIKE CRAZY! I NEVER KNEW THAT!
trich on March 28th, 2011 - 10:54am
I answered my own question
Charactars not charectars
( LOL )

trich on March 28th, 2011 - 11:02am
XD Harrlow is my fav character to XD
I’m still surprised that the voice of Matthew is a kid, and Emily Jones is a woman, 
I guess I should look instead of think.. 
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I was TOTALLY surprised! Cool that you covered the tracks! hehehe. Since I listened to Odyssey when little and know want to do voices. I love Odyseey! I have two albums and tons of disc!
I had no idea that Will played Harlow, my sis was like DUH but i couldn’t tell so she showed me this

CARMEN on March 31st, 2011 - 10:59am
Lol The Wolf!
serenity on April 14th, 2011 - 8:33pm
Adventures in Oddysey wouln’t be Adventures in Oddysey without Eugene.
He was one of my favorite characters.
I love listening to Eugenes songs and comments.
One of my favorite episodes is probably the one where Eugene and Katrina get married. My favorite part is definately when Eugene kiddnaps Katrina.
But I do love the novacom saga. I think every body did an amzing job on the novacom saga.
It was cool how the team put clips of what Eugene and Katrina said in other clips into the saga
e.j. jiggles on May 2nd, 2011 - 8:53pm
Eugene is the COOLEST!!!! I’ve never heard anyone that talented on Adventures in Odyssey!!!
Adrian on December 30th, 2011 - 8:42am
I love Eugene and I think that Harlow Doyle is so annoying!
Adrian on December 30th, 2011 - 8:45am
I think he is so annoying because of his. “don’t call me harlow I am detective doyle!” and “Don’t call me detective, call me harlow!” Boy he makes me mad! Sometimes I feel like yelling at him, but it would do no good for two reasons. He is on the radio. And he wouldn’t get it.
