Odyssey Continues…Post-Novacom

October 1—AIO will begin a new season on January 11, 2003 as the show moves into a "post story arc" era.

According to Marshal Younger, two new families will be introduced, including an African-American family. Tidbits about some of the futures of several characters has also been discussed:

Bernard Walton
