History YMMV / AdventuresInOdyssey

* TheScrappy: The actual animated show is this to the TV station FamilyNet nowadays, especially when in the 2009-2010 season, their Saturday morning line-up added Underdog and The Bullwinkle Show, but were dropped the following season.
** The animated show can also be TheScrappy for fans of the radio show. The tone and quality of the animated series is vastly inferior to the radio show. You can tell that the creators don't have any respect for animation.
** It no longer airs on FamilyNet as of October 2011... but they still air the ChristmasEpisode the Saturday before Christmas... at the cost of not airing the other shows on the line-up!

* IdiotPlot: The episode "Buried Sin". It's mildly understandable that a kid would think he'd committed murder when a gun he was holding went off and killed someone, and that the descendent of said victim who is currently a child may think that, but Whit? Pretty much ''everyone else''? No... That's not ''murder''. No court in the US would charge him with murder for accidentally killing someone. I mean, considering his age, he probably wouldn't even get a manslaughter charge. His ''father'' would have been charged with negligence for leaving the gun where his son could get to it, and for not teaching his son proper gun safety. The child would not have been held responsible.

** "Mortal Coil", "Gone", "Underground Railroad", "Where is thy sting", "Karen", "Forever, Amen"... There are quite a few tearjerker episodes.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The show's audience is undeniably children, but there are episodes that sort of blur the line and don't seem to be appropriate for young children, particularly for the conservative Christian audience the show was designed for. In "Forever, Amen", for instance, [[spoiler: A boy blames himself for his mother's misscarriage because he wished he wouldn't have a younger brother.]] That's a downright tragic and terrifying idea for ''adults'', let alone children.

** Life Expectancy. [[spoiler: Connie's mom dies of a heart attack, it kills her instantly.]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: The early episodes end with a short snippet where a presenter summarizes the lesson of the week and dishes out the appropriate Bible verses.

* {{Adorkable}}: Eugene falls into this sometimes.
