What a perfect way to enter back into my favorite world, that of KDramas and the Chic. Korean Drama F.C.! I finally was gifted with an antennae (my sis got tired of me sulking at not being able to watch the soaps). And what a bittersweet re-entry..... I caught tonite's eppy of Goodbye Solo. I don't know what everyone else thought of the show up to tonite, but tonites eppy was wonderful. I was soooo confused watching it. But when Min-ho was talking to the granny, I was on the verge of tears. And when Soo-hee finally found him - again, tears. And when Young-sook was showing the pictures to granny, and granny finally talked -- well, you know... But now, I'm crying even more, because I discovered this was the final episode I only hope that the other Ch.41 offerings are as good as this, and live up to the quality of shows I had fell in love with. Can anyone suggest which shows I should begin with watching now?! Kombae (I'm trying to say cheers!) to me now being able to watch the shows again thanks to my new antenna!

Welcome from Cicero. You might want to start with Pure at Heart which airs M-F at about 6:00 pm. Tonight was only the 4th episode out of about 150.

Wow, jiminyk, you got an antenna that works? Where did you get that? What kind is it?
And thanks for alerting me to the "last episode"--I tape, and now I have set my machine to tape yesterday's episode again this afternoon, in case of "problems." I too am sad--I thought this was a pretty darn good show.

Thanks teacher! I caught yesterday's episode of Pure At Heart. I was wondering about that one, since, when I read about it on the board, it seemed as if it was further along, but the eppy I saw seemed like an early one! I was confused! Bo! It's so good to recieve a reply from you! It's like hearing from Synergy on Jem and the Holograms...or whoever that was Mork talked to on Mork and Mindy....or when Superman would go to the Fortress of Solitude and "talk" to his father...you get the picture! Anyway, Yep, I got an antennae. It's a slim, silver box-like thing that says TERK on it. I'm afraid to move it any more cuz i don't want to take the chance of losing what little signal I've got! But me thinks me sister said they got it from Circuit City (cuz that's like the only place her husband shops, besides Costco!) And I thought at one point they said it cost somewhere between $40-50. (which is why I would've never bought one!) And don't get me wrong...the picture is not crystal clear. There's some slight fuzz. But it's the first time I've had any reception since the switch from ch.28. I can read the subtitles, and see what they're wearing, so it's all good! BTW, I live on the southwest side, near Evergreen Park/Oak Lawn, if you know where that is. So I feel like I've triumphed in some small way! Bic-tor-ry!

...Bo! It's so good to recieve a reply from you! It's like hearing from Synergy on Jem and the Holograms...you get the picture!... Mein gott, that was a shock. I thought I was the only one who ever watched Jem, LOL. I loved it; if it occasionally comes to mind and I try to tell someone about it, they just look at me like I'm...odd. Of course, you probably weren't an actual (very young let us add) adult woman when you watched it, were you. Thanks for the info on the antenna, I'll look it up. I live in Hyde Park, so myBob will be able to tell me where you are in relation to us. Bic-tor-ry indeed. ;D Bo

Bo, there's no shame in being grown and enjoying "kidz" things! At 29, I still sneak a look at Arthur here n there! I was only maybe 9 or 10 when Jem was on, but I still hold on to it! Cartoonz these dayz just aren't the same. and FYI, I TOO get funny, quizzical looks when I mention the toon....that and this commercial for a cereal called "Crispy Critters" that NO ONE seems to remember! And for my last 2 bits of admission for the day... 1. I made a cd last year of about 50 old-school cartoon theme songs... And! I listen to it frequently...around others...and some of my peers have asked me to dub it for them! 2. I'm still bummed out that I didn't buy Season 1 of Jem on DVD when I had the chance b/c now they're selling a Seas. 1 & 2 combo pack for waaaaaay too much money here's a link of it on Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001LJCUM/sr=1-1/qid=1156483733/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-0796441-4366465?ie=UTF8&s=dvd
