I used to believe that if you were watching a program, and you broke the TV picture tube, that the actors and actresses would come right into your living room, thus you could actually have a nice visit with your favorite actor/actress. Good job I never actually tried this... I had too many "favorite" programs, I couldn't decide which ones should come into my living room!

i found out that the people on tv were alive when i was eight.

I used to believe that the play school people inside my TV would get tired if I pressed the fast foreward button too much.

When I was a child, I use to believe when watching a food commerical I could reach into the t.v. and grab the food-especially the ducan hines chocolate cake. I quess I was hungry.

I always thought that Bill Cosby and Bing Crosby were the same person, or, more accurately, if someone said 'Bing Crosby' I assumed they meant 'Bill Cosby', but didn't know how to pronounce it properly.

I used to believe 'To Be Announced' was a real TV show. I'd read it in the TV guide, flip to the channel and wonder why they never did show it. I believed it until I was 17 or 18, when I asked my mom about it.

I was absolutely convinced that anything I saw on the television was all live and happening at that second and were all performing for me at that moment. Repeats didn't come into the equation...

Ya know how there used to be little chocolate men in the advert for cadbury.Well it used to be on before coronation street and when i was little my mum sent me upstairs when coronation street was on so she could get peace.I never saw this rpogram till i was 7 so i thought all the characters were made of chocolate and my mum didn't want me to see them melt

When I was five years old and younger, I thought that the people on TV were related to me. I had a difficult time at that age telling dreams and TV from reality. I thought Ricky Ricardo, Danny Thomas, Andy Griffith, and Tennesee Ernie Ford were my uncles. I still have clear memories of them visiting at my house, although that never happened. I wondered why Fred Flintstone never came around. I wondered why Jack Parr always made me sleepy. I thought he was magic or something, but now I realize he was on late at night when I was sleepy.

whenever people on shows like Barney or something would talk to me when i was little (like "hello, kids! are you ready to have some fun?", i always answered because i didnt want to be rude. even if i didnt feel like it, i would answer. one day, i decided i would be mean and not answer and it came as an incredible disapointment that they couldnt actually hear me.

There used to be what was called "MIllion Dollar Movie" - it would feature a different movie every week, but the movie would be repeated at various intervals during the day - say 9:30 am, 12:30 pm, 4:30 pm, 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm every single day for a whole week.
I would watch my favorite movies every single time I could, thinking that the NEXT time I watched, the commercial breaks would maybe come at a different point in the film, so I could see what happened next.

When I was a young teen in the late 40's, tv was a new thing to most households. While watching an old Western shoot-em-up, I asked my mom how they got someone to take the pictures when electricity hadn't been invented yet. I didn't realize they were actors on a set in more modern times.

I used to think that Rolf Harris (the artist) and Colonel Sanders (of KFC) were one and the same person - they do look very similar I think you'll agree!

Cath

When I was little, I wanted a two-story house and EVERY television show I watched had one in it. I tried to cut the TV open with a pair of scissors.I got in BIG trouble and we had to get it repaired.

I came from my country to the US when I was 14, so of course I was new to commercials. One day I saw this commercial, I forgot for what car dealer it was, but at the end it said, Drivers wanted. So, innocent me called, thinking they actually needed drivers to work. As soon as I saw that the guy didn't know what I was talking about, I hang up, and felt really stupid lol.

My mom and I were watching country music videos when I was little. Hank Williams JR. cussed in a song, and I walked up to the TV and started hitting the screen. I thought he was inside the TV, and I was giving him a spanking for cussing.

When I was around eight, I believed that all of the television channels existed inside the TV set like pages in a book, and if you flipped between them you were flipping the pages.

Emily

When i was young i used to believe that if you broke the tv screen open and jumped in you would be in whatever tv show or movie was on at the time

My parents used to tell me watching television turns your eyes square.

I used to believe that when you wanted to watch a TV show, it would wait until you turned the TV on and only start when you were ready.
