[edit] Description

Originally released as Courageous Characters, Fabulous Friends. Another good and creative collection from AIO! While not as memorable as the two collections before it, this album is certainly important with its introduction of some of Odyssey’s central characters (Isaac Morton, Rodney Rathbone, Curt Stephens, and the "Bones of Rath"), and its great development of other characters (Monty, Jenny Whittaker-Dowd, and Jana). One of the central storylines of the album is the Whittaker-Dowd family and its struggles. Jana struggles with her divorce and her conflicts with her father. Jenny struggles with her intelligence and living a "normal life". Monty struggles with his sister’s reputation and with his mother’s dislike of his father. All of these are played well, and there is a broad variety of interaction between the storylines. The album also includes two perfect follow-ups to earlier albums, The Very Best of Friends (follow-up to Karen (episode), AIO50), and The Visitors (follow-up to Peace on Earth, AIO54). The Visitors is one of the very best AIO stories in the first few years of the program.
