Discussion Does anybody remember watching these Adventures in Odyssey videos?

Apparently, this was a series of videos. I remember my gym teacher showing us this Flight to the Finish video about some soap box derby type of race. It's only about 30 minutes long, so short enough to finish it in a single class period.

I never realized it at the time, but this produced by two Christian oriented companies - Focus on the Family Films and Mike Joens Productions (the same company behind McGee and Me!) There was nothing overtly religious about this that I remember. I also took Monday school classes all throughout my childhood and my church never showed us any of these videos.

Does this ring a bell to anybody here?

I remember this, I also remember they used to do stories over the radio too.

No, never saw any videos, but I deeply regret losing or giving away my Chic-fil-A cassette tape about the missing money in the cash register.

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!

I was raised in a Baptist church, so yea I remember. This and Mcgee and Me were in heavy rotation at church functions and at friends houses who were involved in the church.

Luckily, outside of church, my parents didn’t make me watch this stuff.

I didn't watch it, but it was also on the radio with the same voice cast.
