May 3rd, The Day Foster's will End - Page 5 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Well, I never thought I'd post here again, but I just have to leave one more message in remembrance of this generally great cartoon.

Somehow I still can't believe that Foster's is over, much less that nearly five years have already passed since it first premiered, but I thoroughly enjoyed these last five episodes just as much as I would any of the others.

A gem was definitely created over the past five years and it will be dearly missed. It's sort of bitter-sweet in a way, but I'm actually feeling more happy than sad because of all the good things I will remember about it...all the smiles, chuckles and outright guffaws at Bloo's antics.

So here's to you...thank YOU, Foster's crew, for giving us such a great show in the first place.

Guys? It's been requested that talk of the final episode and what happened be confined to the "Goodbye To Bloo" thread, although you may certainly continue to laud the show in general here. Also, in consideration of our friends on the West coast who haven't seen the final episodes yet, please remember to use spoiler tags in the episode discussion threads, m'kay?

I agree, i had to cover my eyes while scrolling down and erase any memory of any things accidentally viewed.

The new episodes were awesome! I'm still saddened how the series is now officially concluded. Hopefully, CN will continue to air Foster's on a regular basis and not on random occasions.

Well I'm glad now I avoided this thread all afternoon.

Anyways I have a problem. Since we got a new TV and TiVo HD I never tried capturing to my computer until today. I wasn't able to do it, something weird with the signal as it comes through the TiVo maybe (we don't have a cable box, there are cable cards in the TiVo). I seem to be able to record with my VCR off of my other TiVo (non-HD) in the bedroom, but the picture quality will suffer. :/ So I can take screencaps but they won't be very good, and I can't upload the eps because the TiVo kinda chopped the eps up since the eps didn't air on the hour.

So what I would like is if someone else can provide me with good-quality, 640x480 captures of Fools and Regulations and Goodbye to Bloo (I have the others already) to make screencaps from. I'd *really* appreciate it, as it doesn't seem the new eps are going to air again anytime soon. :/ Thanks in advance.

And that is why I've never had TiVo or a cable company's equivalent, and never will. I consider them unreliable and useless.

I recorded F&R and GTB but I don't know if WMP will be cooperative about playing them; the version on my laptop has been problematic. If it does work I'll let you know.

What format did u convert into in the first place?

Sparky · 05-03-2009, 06:47 PM

Well it turned out to not have anything to do with the TiVo. It's because my capture card can't capture an HD signal without me upgrading the program I use. I may or may not be able to afford the upgrade.

I'll see what I can do for you. I did record the episodes on my DVR. I haven't worked with videos in a while, but I'm sure I can still do it. It may take some time, though, since I'm working most of each day (except wknds).
