I used to believe that people lived in the tv, so when they had boxing matches and if they missed and hit the tv, they would come through into our house

I used to believe that the people on TV were actually inside the TV playing out what I was watching.
One saturday morning, knowing that dad had stayed up late the night before watching, I decided I not to watch cartoons so that the people on TV could sleep in.

when i was little i used to think that the actors lived inside the television. we used to have the old sets that were massive with doors built into them , and i was convinced that if only i found the key i could get in and meet all my favourites. my parents found me one day trying to get in with a screwdriver.

when i was young i used to think that people on the tv lived inside it and if i went to close to it i would get sucked into the tv and be trapped forever.

Didn't EVERYONE believe that the people on the telly were actually (SOMEHOW) inside?!

I looked for Rod Stewart once, and ended up with an electric shock.

when I was really little, I used to think that there were people living inside the Tv (also people living in the record player but anyway...) and that was the reason my Mum wouldn't let me watch TV late at night because they'd all gone to bed and I'd wake them up

my little brother used to believe that everyone on the t.v lived inside the t.v. he once cried,cried,and cried that dino from the flintstones {the pet dinosaur} would not come out to play.

When I was 5 I used to think that there are real tiny people inside the TV. So I pushed it off the table and started looking among the pieces for them!

I used to believe that the people in the TV were real people and if you unplugged your TV they would die.

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 thought people were inside the TV acting so I put food behind the tv! Later my mom found the food... I wondered what smelled so bad.

One of my favourite shows as a very small child was the black and white 'Mickey Mouse Club' repeats that used to air around mid morning. My mother would busily attempt to get her housework out of the way while I was absored. I guess she didn't realise how absorbed I was. I somehow got the notion that the Mickey Mouse Club kids lived inside the television and if only I could smash the glass and get in there I could play with them.

Wish I could remember the look on my mother's face as she intercepted her toddler about to hurl the metallic broom stick through her prize colour television.

When I was little I believed that the people on TV lived in there.

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...

When I was little, I believed that the people on the news lived in the TV. So, one day when My mom and I came across one of the reporters I started crying because the tv was broken and all the people inside had come out.

When I was very small I used to believe that tiny people lived in my television. I thought that they'd go through very quick costume, make-up and wig changes as I flicked through the channels.

I thought that all the people on the TV lived inside it and when you looked at the lit-up valves at the back it seemed like a little metropolis where the performers' houses were.

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!

little devil

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 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.
