It’s always fun to reminisce on the past and this interview with Mom and I magazine gave me a chance to do just that. The magazine is geared toward helping Korean Americans adjust to life in the U.S. and they asked me some great questions about my formative years as a newcomer to the great salad bowl of America.

Interview in Korea American magazine, Mom and I
Hey whatever happened to Electric Company anyway?? Conjunction Junction, What’s your function… That stuff was genius! I hope it’s still around serving other kids trying to learn English like I was when I was 5.

Favorite game shows:

- The Gong Show
Oh the days of innocence! Now I can’t even watch prime time tv with my kids without seeing commercials for Viagra or Cialis. Looking back, I guess all that talk on the Newlywed Game about “making whoopie” was pretty racy. I just hope the junk kids are exposed to these days fly over their heads the way it did for us. Thank God for DVR! What are your favorite shows of yesteryear?
