Version differences

This might be an incomplete list. You can help by adding more entries.
  • #1: “Whit's Flop” -
  • In the opening wraparound of the original Odyssey USA version, Chris shows different examples of failure, including a boy trying to spell "soliloquy" (Official Podcast 31). At the end of the episode, Chris advertises a book called Abraham Lincoln and Clubhouse Magazine. She also offers a free cassette to listeners and a preview for #2: “The Life of the Party” is also heard. Chris signs off with her signature line, "I hope you spend some time exploring our side of the radio next week in Odyssey USA!"
    • This version was re-aired on November 18, 2017 in commemoration of Odyssey’s 30th Anniversary and included an introduction by Phil Lollar.
  • The Complete Guide lists Phil Lollar as "Sally's father" in this show. This is probably a reference to the father and daughter who appear in the introduction to the Odyssey USA version. However, the girl in the introduction is not identified as "Sally."
  • Starting with the second broadcast on September 24, 1988, the episode begins with Chris talking to a plumber. All references to Odyssey USA were also removed.
  • Several minutes of the episode were later removed after the first Adventures in Odyssey revision, presumably to make Odyssey's first episode faster paced. Also, the scene where Davey turns on the first version of his Pizza Oven now includes a different sound effect.
  • #5: “Gifts for Madge and Guy” - A longer discussion between Madge and Guy is used in some versions of this episode, such as in the 20th anniversary broadcast. The longer version is not included in the album releases.
  • #7: “Promises, Promises” -
  • This was the first episode edited to remove Officer Harley, a comical police officer who appeared in several early episodes. The re-recorded version without Officer Harley aired on October 1st, 1988 and was used in Album #1: The Early Classics and all later releases of the episode.
  • An alternate version of this episode features a slightly-expanded closing wrap of the episode. In this version, when Phil finally arrives to take Chris bowling, Chris asks why he's carrying a tennis racket.
  • #17: “A Member of the Family, Part 1” -
  • This episode is a re-airing of FP #11: "A Member of the Family, Part 1".
  • In the original Odyssey USA broadcast of this episode, Connie replaces Jimmy, who appeared in the Family Portraits version. However, when this episode was broadcast its second time on December 7, 2002, Jimmy returns. This is because the Connie version was lost in the episodes library.
  • These episodes did not appear in a mainstream album until 2003, when it was placed in #1: The Adventure Begins. Because of this, the episode features the theme song used at that time.
  • #19: “Recollections” - In the original Odyssey USA broadcast of this episode, Harley has a few additional lines when he comes to visit Whit with Tom.
  • #20: “Mike Makes Right” - The broadcast version of this episode contains an opening scene where Chris Anthony discusses definitions with an English scholar.
  • #28: “The Price of Freedom” - The broadcast version of this episode has a skit at the beginning that features Chris at an Odyssey vs. Connellsville baseball game. When the commercial break is over, during Chris's narration, no music plays, just like in the album version.
  • #29: “Rumor Has It” -
  • The broadcast version of this episode has Chris on Main Street conducting a gossip survey.
  • The Official Guide states that this episode contained David Harley (as the police officer at the end of the episode) when it first aired. However, several fans have speculated whether this fact is actually true, considering that Harley “left town” in #26: “Harley Takes the Case, Part 2”.
  • #33: “The Day Independence Came” -
  • The beginning of the broadcast version has Chris at a fireworks show, during which a “musical rocket” that plays the Odyssey theme is set off.
  • At the end of the first broadcast on July 01, 1988, Chris advertised that the next show would be “Stormy Weather”.
  • At the end of the second broadcast on July 02, 1989, Chris says that an evil man would be coming the following week. Chris was referring to Regis Blackgaard, who made his first appearance the following week in the first broadcast of #77: “The Nemesis, Part 1”.
  • The Chick-fil-a version of this episode is shortened.
  • #39: “The Case of the Secret Room, Part 1” - The broadcast version has a slightly longer introduction where Chris introduces the mystery. She also asks parents to come in the room.
  • #40: “The Case of the Secret Room, Part 2” - The broadcast version of the program has a longer introduction with Chris explaining what happened last time.
  • #41: “Return to the Bible Room” - In the original, Chris is at Odyssey's art museum, which claims to be home to the works of the great artists. The curator gives Chris a personal tour. The first "masterpiece" he shows her is called Fantasy on a Theme for Adventures in Odyssey. Chris describes it as "interesting," but the man interjects that she should hear how it sounds. The Odyssey theme starts playing. When it's over, the man shows Chris a painting that she says looks like graffiti. Denying that, the man says it's called Phone Number on Canvas also known as 1-800-A-FAMILY. Chris comments that the number sounds familiar (it's the number for Focus on the Family) and the man excitedly exclaims that Chris knows more about art than he thought. Chris attributes it to frequently listening to the radio. As he walks away around the corner, the man tells Chris that she'll really like an "original drawing by Rembrandt. He owns the deli at the end of Main Street."
  • #43: “Back to School” - The broadcast version of this episode has Chris talking to a janitor just before school starts.
  • #45: “What Are We Gonna Do About Halloween?” - This episode was edited in 2001 for a CD version that was only available directly from Focus on the Family.
  • #46: “The Shepherd and the Giant” - In the broadcast version of this episode, Chris talks to a "Mr. Pardon" at the Fashion Center at the Odyssey Mall. Mr. Pardon is searching for a fashionable outfit and thinks Chris's "ratty, old" T-shirt is a work of art.
  • #48: “Heroes” - The broadcast version of this episode has Chris at the set of action adventure show named "Hardknocks." In it, a stunt scene is set up, but then the "big name" actor called off and a stunt man is called in. Chris feels cheated.
  • #49: “Thank You, God” -
  • The broadcast version of this episode has Chris giving a tour of the Adventures in Odyssey studios.
  • The first broadcast included references to Odyssey's one-year anniversary. During Chris's closing wrap-up, the production team hums "Happy Birthday."

She meets a fellow donor who is extremely nervous and tries to calm him down. In the closing wrap, the donor reveals that he's a medical doctor.
  • #115: “An Act of Mercy” - The broadcast version of this episode features Chris talking to Dave Arnold about her car—that he drove into a telephone pole. Chris calls him a "car-basher" when she reads the wraps.
  • #122: “Castles and Cauldrons, Part 1” - The broadcast version of this episode is the first (and only thus far) time that Dr. Dobson comes on the air with a personal warning.
  • #126: “Wishful Thinking” - The broadcast version has a Family Portraits “Fun Fact” after the wraps. This was added to fill time.

  • #184: “Isaac the Chivalrous” - The broadcast version of this episode omits the scene of Sir William "rescuing" George Barclay from his car.
  • #187: “An Act of Nobility” - The broadcast version of this episode included a “Fun Fact” about how Whit became a Christian. However, she says that the episode is included in the album Secrets, Surprises, and Sensational Stories, the old version of Album #3: Heroes!
  • #217: “Rights, Wrongs and Reasons” - The broadcast version of this episode included an interesting “Fun Fact":
  • #243: “Family Values” - The album version adds a few more scenes where the Rathbones try to be a model family and a few more where they try to "corrupt" the Johnsons.
  • #246: “My Fair Bernard” - The album version of this episode extends the scene where Bernard and Edwin are "brainstorming" the story of Bernard's life.
  • #250: “Pilgrim's Progress Revisited, Part 1” - The broadcast version of this episode included a “Fun Fact” about Officer David Harley.
  • #261: “Afraid, Not!” - The broadcast version of this episode included a “Fun Fact” about Officer David Harley.
  • #265: “War of the Words” - The broadcast version of this episode included a “Fun Fact” about Officer David Harley.
  • #281: “...But Not Forgotten” - The album version adds more to the scene between Jack and Tom at the ice cream counter. In the broadcast version, Jack says, "Who do you think taught Whit?" and then Tom says, "Say Jack..." and asks him if he could work at Whit's End for a while. In the album version, after the line "Who do you think taught Whit?", Jack actually makes a cone with a curlicue and then shows Tom how to make one. Tom says "Course now some kid's gonna come along and eat it." "Sometimes life is tough," says Jack. It's a scene which really adds to Jack's character. The major problem in the broadcast version is that it is very obvious material has been cut out here. Tom's voice changes rapidly since he moved around in the cut scene. It was probably the best that Dave Arnold could do, however, without re-recording the voices.
  • #286: “Tom for Mayor, Part 1” - On the album version of this episode, the following scenes are extended:
  • Tom's talk with the mayor (right before he makes the "mysterious phone call")

  • #322: “The Turning Point” - The broadcast version of this episode omits the scene of Connie and Katrina meeting for a Bible study and discussing Katrina and Eugene's relationship.
  • #355: “The Search for Whit, Part 1” - This episode originally ended immediately after Alfred Brownlee's line about the parchment showing where to find the buried bones of Jesus. The current version on both CD and the AIO club ends with Brownlee, Eugene, and Jason planning to drive up to Whit's trailer.
  • #356: “The Search for Whit, Part 2” - This episode originally began with Brownlee, Eugene, and Jason still at the airport, having their conversation about the buried bones of Jesus. The current version on both CD and the AIO club begins with Jason breaking into Whit's trailer.
  • #362: “The Right Choice, Part 1” - The ‘Lounge Lizard’ scene (the singer ad-libbing to Eugene and Katrina’s conversation) had to be cut from the broadcast version of this episode. It was altered to avoid copyrighted material and then included in the album version.

  • There is an extended scene between Whit and Tom in the stable where Whit discusses Margaret.
  • The scene where Eugene asks Connie and Whit if he should marry Katrina is extended.
  • The scene where Bernard talks to Eugene about his survey.
  • A scene shows Jack and Joanne meeting with Thaddeus Gumley.
  • There are more lines in the scene where Whit turns Margaret's wedding proposal down.
  • More lines during the counseling session with Mr. Barclay and the scene where Whit and Margaret discuss the Antique Shop.
  • Chris's closing comments are also longer.
  • #375: “The Pushover” - The album version added a number of conversations and scenes to this show.

Lines are added to the scene where the kids talk about the Star Wars-like movie and several of the scenes where the kids discuss the chore strike. Chris's ending comments are also longer.
  • #378: “The Painting” -
  • The original broadcast version of this episode included an extra line that has since been cut. Toward the end of the final scene with G. Winston Smith, the Rabbi originally said, "You have created a wonderful organization that helps others, Mr. Smith. You have atoned for your sin. And for that, may the Lord bless you." All subsequent airings and album versions cut the line, "You have atoned for your sin." There is now a brief pause in the middle of the line.

    • The conversation is extended where Connie and Jack discover the painting, as well as the description of the painting during the phone call with G. Winston Smith.
    • Jack and Joanne talk longer about the information that they got from the International Arts Registry.
  • #379: “Best Face Forward” - The album version added a number of lines to conversations in this show, including the scene that Connie talks to the kids about what to do when Mark Herring arrives and the second scene with Jared and Cody where Cody talks about feeling bad.

  • #392: “When In Doubt...Pray!” - The album version of this episode is longer than the radio version. A very interesting cut was made to this one: most of the first Mueller part of the episode was cut out of the broadcast version, everything after Mrs. Muller's offer to show them around. After this, two lines were cut from the next scene on the road. In the second Mueller part, they actually did some very interesting things, inserting some of the cut material from the first scene into this scene to make it make sense.
  • #393: “Wrapped Around Your Finger” - The initial scene where Eugene shows Jack the Antiques Database is slightly longer in the album version, as is the following scene in Whit's End.

  • #401: “More Like Alicia” - The album version of this episode is longer than the radio version. The party scene is slightly longer in the album version due to the story about the shoes being longer. Chris's ending comments are also longer.
  • #403: “Faster Than a Speeding Ticket” - The album version of this episode adds a scene at the end where the policeman offers to escort Whit to get new tires and cites a few other potential violations; Eugene then suggests to Whit that they find a new route to and from Connellsville.
  • #408: “Malachi's Message, Part 3” - The album version of this episode adds several lines towards the end, after Malachi leaves. Whit tells Tom of an inspiration boost, which would lead in #419: “Another Man's Shoes” to the Transmuter.

There is also a scene in the album version in which Eugene has a flashback to a conversation with Katrina.

  • #448: “Mandy's Debut” -
  • In the original airing of the show, Chris called the show "It's All My Fault / I'll Do It My Way." However, in the album version and all subsequent airings, the episode is referred to by a single title, "Mandy's Debut."
  • In the broadcast version intro, Chris still says, "Don't go away! The adventures begin, in just a moment!" as she does in the split episodes.
  • #453: “The Great Wishy Woz, Part 1” -
  • This show was originally more than eleven minutes over the broadcast time, so significant cuts had to be made:

    • Mystic Mountain Lion accidentally activated his flame thrower when he first got it and said he would need a fur graft.
    • The Great Wishy Woz gave the travelers a pop quiz when they returned from their quest ("What is the philosophy of Plato? You shouldn't leave the lid off or it will dry out.").
    • Metal Guy attempted to persuade the Wicked and Mean and Generally Not Very Nice Woman to go out to a nice restaurant with him.
    • The whole gang sang a celebration song when she was defeated (Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong, The Wicked and Mean and Generally Not Very Nice Woman Is Gone).
    • The goodbyes were longer when Dotty entered the Wee Skinny Gate.
  • However, a few scenes were able to remain intact for the album version, even though had to be cut from the broadcast version:
    • The library scene is longer with a much longer rhyme by Leopold.
    • When the Fairy Oddmother shows up again, she says that the travelers would need a map to find a map. They ask where to get a map and she said from The Great Mapmaker.
    • The scene where Melvin Nerfwiddle is revealed is longer, with more sneezes and a longer "running away" segment in which his continued sneezing is heard through the locked door.
    • When the Wicked and Mean and Generally Not Very Nice Woman shows up, she explains to the travelers that they have been her slaves all along and that everything along the way was hers (The Wishy Woz, the Littles). The four friends try to persuade that they aren't her slaves, but she calls for her guards, who are in fact pigs that fly. When the Wicked Woman is defeated, the pigs even cheer.
    • Chris's ending comments are longer.
  1. Whit asks Mitch to find out why Novacom is still cutting into the KYDS' Radio broadcasts. Mitch agrees, but teases Connie that her show is "amateur."

  4. Connie tries to impress Mitch with her computer knowledge and ends up looking silly.
  5. Bart encourages Whit to say a few words at the protest.

  7. Bart explains more about what his show on Novacom would have been all about.
  • #464: “The Triangle, Part 1” - The broadcast version of this episode featured the short Mr. How-To - The House Built on Sand.
  • #465: “The Triangle, Part 2” - The broadcast version of this episode included a “Fun Fact” about how Whit became a Christian. However, Chris says that the episode is included in the album Secrets, Surprises, and Sensational Stories—the old version of Album #3: Heroes.
  • #470: “Break a Leg” - Five minutes were cut from the broadcast version of this show that were put back in for the album. These include a scene where Edwin tries his best to make some tea (and causes a major mess in the kitchen) and a scene where Edwin brings tea up to a resting Shakespeare. The opening two scenes between Edwin and Shakespeare are also extended.
  • #472: “Welcoming Wooton” - The original broadcast of this show featured a very slight version difference in the scene where Wooton teaches Whit the secret knock. In all versions, Wooton opens the door and says "Hey! That'd be great!" and then slams the door while saying, "But I still can't let you in without the secret knock." Then Whit says "I don't know the secret knock." Wooton then shows him how to do the knock. In the original broadcast, Wooton told him from behind the door. In the album release and all subsequent re-airs, Wooton opens the door again to tell him.
  • #489: “Under the Influence, Part 2” - The album version of this episode is about five minutes longer and includes a number of extended scenes, including the Aubrey/Connie "fight" where Aubrey is fired, the scene where Aubrey's parents confront her, the scene where Aubrey finds Ben praying in the chapel, and the scene where Aubrey drives the car without a license.

  • #496: “Exceptional Circumstances” - In the album version, when Connie is testing AREM to see if it's really Mitch, she also asks him what he made her for dinner. Mitch tells her this was a trick question, as he never made her dinner and if he had it would have been macaroni and cheese.
  • #500: “500” - The CD version of this episode includes an extra track with 11 minutes of behind-the-scenes discussion with crew and cast, including both Townsend Coleman and David Griffin, neither of whom were heard in the broadcast version.
  • #506: “For Trying Out Loud” - The album version of this show includes a few more scenes with Wooton driving Edwin crazy. It also includes a part at the end where Chris "flashes back" on "trying out" in her first audition, during which she makes a lot of mistakes.
  • #511: “The Pact, Part 1” - The broadcast version of the wraps of this episode included scenes from Agnes's past, including a deleted scene from #49: “Thank You, God”.

  • #524: “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?, Part 2” - The broadcast version of this episode included a featurette about Odyssey villains.
  • #527: “Black Clouds” - The original radio broadcast version included an extra line. After Joanne says "It reminds me of a French restaurant", Ethel replies "I don't care for the French." It was presumably included because, at the time of the airing, the French were in opposition to the US and Iraq War (which began around the time of the episode airing), leading to the US attempting to shun France. However, Focus on the Family likely decided that the joke would become confusing over time and it has been cut from all subsequent airings and the album version.

  1. June and Connie's scene is extended. June mentions Bill's latest girlfriend, May.
  2. Whit and Connie's talk about being ready for marriage is much longer.
  3. Connie talks to florist and Joanne relates another argument with Janelle Bourland.
  4. The wedding rehearsal takes a bit longer. George starts humming Beethoven's Fifth.
  5. The Bourland "explanation" scene is longer.
  6. Connie and Mitch's "pull over" scene is longer.
  7. A reception scene where Whit and Connie talk about disappointment and Connie throws a bouquet was cut completely from broadcast.
  8. A final scene of Whit and Connie paralleling their talk in the car after Mitch's death ends the retail version. The broadcast version ends with Connie saying goodbye to Mitch at the airport.
  9. Chris's wrap had two extra sentences in the retail version.

  • #98: “The Visitors” - In the broadcast version of this episode, Chris talks about how she likes to hear Christmas carols as the doors of stores open. She later runs into Fred and Barney (the same ones who delivered her Christmas tree last year in #54: “Peace on Earth”), who are collecting money for "charitable organizations" but intend to keep the money for themselves. Chris insists that they listen to the episode and after listening, they decide to give money to a real charity.
  • #99: “The Barclay Family Ski Vacation” - In the broadcast version of this episode, Chris is going skiing and is whisked away by the ski lift.

At the end of the episode, while she is off the slope due to her ski accident, she and Randall read some letters that include suggestions for the program. One suggests that a whole bunch of the old characters get together for an episode and remember their adventures while another suggests that Focus sends out a schedule of the programs every couple of months. The final letter is from a certain Genie Rathbone about children in Indonesia. It's possibly that Genie's last name was the source of the famous AIO family.
