[edit] Summary

An editor from Home and Country magazine announces that Odyssey is a contender for Best Small Town in America.

[edit] Plot

An inspector for the "Best Small Town" contest is coming to Odyssey -- and Bart, Edwin and Connie each have their own ideas about how to impress him. Connie starts out by making changes to Whit's End, while Bart removes support beams from the Electric Palace to make it look "rustic." As it progresses, Bart ends up giving the inspector free cell phone and Edwin gives him a complementary ticket to a Shakespeare play. As it turns out, the inspector isn’t from Home and Country Magazine, but from the Health and Safety Department of Campbell County. He ends up finding safety hazards with the Harlequin Theater and the Electric Palace. Sadly, because of the structural damage caused by Dr. Regis Blackgaard’s attempt at blowing up the place back in the episode "The Final Conflict" (album 25), the inspector closes and condemns Whit’s End. The good news though, Odyssey is chosen as a finalist for the Best Small Town in America Contest.

[edit] Notes

• This episode is featured in a PopUpisode on The Official Adventures in Odyssey Podcast.Click here to watch.
• This episode's name is an allusion to the episode "Suspicious Minds" (album 8).
• This episode parallels Best Face Forward when Connie tries to impress bicycling author Mark Herring.
• From the Pop-Upisode on the Official Podcast, we know that Will and Pat were voiced by brother and sister pair Dean and Evelyn, whom Nathan Hoobler knew from church. Also, the crowd of polite children complimenting each other in order to follow Connie's rules were a group of kids from Nathan's AWANA group.
• The character Jill was voiced by someone Marshal Younger knew from church, who "was thrilled to be on Odyssey" according to the Pop-Upisode.
