What makes someone a hero? Saving a life -- or simply doing noble things, like rescuing a reputation, defending an underdog or facing the truth? The Odyssey gang is about to learn heroes take many forms in this new collection of previously released shows. Basketball superstar Lightning Livingston can do no wrong in Jimmy Barclay's eyes -- until he admits that a rumored drug problem is the truth. Christianity for Connie? Thank you very much, but her mind is made up -- until she has a ringside seat at the David vs. Goliath match-up courtesy of Whit's inventions. Pull up a chair for hours on end of heroes to cheer, flawed perceptions to clear and values to hold dear.
