When I was a young kid I believed that there were small people inside the tv. I made the mistake of telling this to my older brother who then told me that all the people on the tv shows were in the tv and sometimes at night they came into the house to suck the breath out of sleeping people. I didn't sleep well until he finally admitted he lied.

Ate age 3 (in order to turn off the TV and go to sleep) my dad told me that the little people inside the box were "dead tired" and that I was being a bad boy for making them perform for me for so long...took me a while to watch TV without guilt.

I beleived that a TV worked by having small people inside the box, and that what they were doing was projected up onto the screen. I thought these small people lived in everybodies TV and there life consisted ov constantly giving us occular pleasure and confined to TVs AND only being about 5mm tall. Bless them working their socks off.

I use to believe (when he was younger) that there were little people inside the TV , so he he tried to feed them by putting pizza on the TV screen and trying to put it into the VCR.

i believed that everyone you saw on the telly were actually inside it.... i used to rack my brains on where their body had gone when you saw a close up!

I used to believe that the charaacters on each TV show were actually IN the TV, and since I knew all of them so well, they knew me and I was convinced that while I wasn't watching TV, they were all just sitting around on a couch miserable because I wasn't watching me, and they they even occasionally talked about me behind my back :P

I used to believe that people on TV where really small and you could smash your TV and pick out all the small people and have them running about your room

I used to believe that people lived inside the T.V, so every time the T.V was on i would try to get the people out!

I used to believe that there were tiny actors in my t.v. doing the shows. Needless to say, I was confused when I visited some of my friends and they had the same tiny actors in their t.v.s, too. I figured they cloned a whole bunch of tiny actors to get them in all my friends' televisions.
Also, I was very nice to my tiny actors. I would never watch t.v. for too long, and would always turn off the t.v. when I left the room, so that they could get some time to rest. And sometimes I tried to meet them by unscrewing the back of the t.v. My mom didn't appreciate this.

I remember having a sense of deep sympathy for the people inside the tv- I thought they had to really crouch and bend over and turn themselves really small to enter through the screen!

When I was little, I beleived that people lived inside the television and that they played all the characters!

lili

i used to beleive that if we broke the TV screen, all the animals, cars, etc would come out. but the ghosts, and devils inthe shows scared me from doing this...

ashesh

I used to believe that TV presenters all lived in the TV and when once confronted with Richard Whitely at a charity do aged approximately 5 years old I marched up to him and asked him 'how he had managed to get out of the telly!'

Altogether now, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Cathy

I used to belive that all the things in the tv are actualy in it.

Lutea Gabriel

That little people lived in the television, and they would act out stuff whenever we wanted. I used to stick my fingers in the vents in back of the T.V. to try and grab them...

Jonas

i believed that people lived in my television. it makes me laugh now when my 3yr old asks now if the girls and boys sleep together in the t.v.

Liz

It was nice to find out that I am not the only one who believed that the people on the television lived inside it! I remember looking at the back of the TV and wondering what would happen if the back came off.

Emma

I used to belive that every time you turned on the T.V little people climbed into it and started talking to you, so when the people on the adverts said stuff like " Does your car sound like this?" then I would answer " I don't know" Well I was only 6!
