Episode Reviewed: I SLAP FLOOR (440)
Rating (Out
of 5 cones): 
This was perhaps, the best of the Spring Season
2000, actually definitely compared with those hideously annoying fifteen minute stories. I
can't believe they even tried those out! "I SLAP FLOOR" was a very interesting
episode all the way through. I must have listened to this episode 20 times throughout the
summer months!
What I really like about this episode is, Bernard
tells the story, him being the only sane one around, and no one being quite themselves. I
liked how Richard Maxwell (who was really Regis Blackgaard in disguise) returned to
Odyssey for work. Although this episode was outstanding, I do believe that the actor that
plays Richard overplayed the part. I mean, Richard sounded like a little kid. Compare his
voice in "I SLAP FLOOR" to his voice in "Darkness Before Dawn" and
there's a definite difference.
I also enjoyed hearing from Blackgaard again. For
some reason the episode seemed like it was missing something: Jack Allen and Jason
Whittaker. Last year wasn' t the best of years for AIO, and I sure am glad that's over
with! This episode would have been a whole lot better with our faithful comrades, Jack and
Jason.
I would definitely consider hearing this episode,
although not buying the album, even though I bought it just to match my complete set of
albums.
I think that AIO needs to put a bunch of BTV
adventures into one of the Adventures in Odyssey Classics albums when they have enough.
But there is one thing I don't like about this episode.
Sometimes Jacob's accent is hard to understand and
it gets annoying. Luckily it only gets annoying towards the end of the story.
