UAIO Review:

Odyssey is back to its old self!  This time we get the first look around the town of Odyssey in this 2000 season.  Another kid classic, Marshal Younger block buster, Life Trials of the Rich & Famous.  Told in a new way that was never thought possable, it is a great lession in how to treat others.  Nathaniel all of a sudden, goes Rich and Famous once his Dad opens his own own ".com" e-biz online and becomes rich.  A fariy tale that is every Dad's wish comes true, and Nataniel turns from a drag into one of the most poupular kids with there is in Odyssey, but only because of his money.  It takes awhile before him and his Dad have a talk about the fame and glory that came with the money.  After they do, Nataniel puts his friends to the test, and when he gets his point across and they learn that Nathaniel is still the same old kid as he was before, everyone learns a lession and we close on a happy note.   Although the episode dose get the point across in a new and creaitive way, it seems that it seems to lack the "who owns who" therory and seems to pass over contentment.  While that is okay, for the episode was on how to treat people with "lots of money", which is a lession well taught, it seems Whit is in the backround.  As Odyssey is back to it's old self, it still seems to drag on some of the Spring season flavor, which isn't all that bad, because I really enjoyed the Spring season!  Whit seemed to sit back and watch the kids, more then speak up, and while that was okay, we only seem to see a shadow of Whit in this episode.  Overall, a fun episode with a good episode and it did show that the town Odyssey was back together, even if Odyssy wasn't as taseful as it has been, it was a good episode and a good choice for the Character casting!  Bravo Mr. Younger!

Mel's Review
-Mel, IN

I liked it. But I guess I'm longing to hear the past characters more. Like Connie and Eugene. I thought the plot was good and the show had a good meaning though.

Mel's Rating: 3 stars (pretty good) out of 5

Nathanial's voice sounded different.    It was pretty good.
Nathanial's act was funny.  It was better than some of the epasodes last year.
And missionary impossible sounds lik it'll be good.

Sarah's Review

It was a pretty cool story.  I taught me when your rich you don't have to change and when your poor not to expect things out of the rich.  Thank you for the story.

Sarah's Rating: 5 stars (best) out of 5.

Memorable Quotes:
[Nathaniel to Alex]
Nathaniel: "Next time you come by, would you park your bike in the back? It's a bit of an eyesore and it brings down the property value."

[Alex going door to door]
Alex: "Hello, who are you?"
Stranger: "Seems to me that's my question. You're the one knocking on my door!"

Fun Facts:
1.  Did you know that this was the first episode that ever really included a guy getting rich off the internet.  It seems Odyssey has been updated with the ".com" era of this world in this episode and in "Nova Rising."

2.  Did you know that this was Bob Luttrel's first Production job ever since W-O-R-R-Y back in 96.  Luttrel is back with Odyssey as a freelancer.
