When the drama and soaps production teams wanted to have either snow, rain or strong winds, I always thought that they had to wait for the weather to arrive. I thought that this was the case until I went on a back stage tour at Disney MGM Studios.

I used to think that the only things they were allowed to show on television on Sundays were golf and the news, because that's what my dad was always watching. I thought it was some religious thing and they weren't allowed to show anything that kids might enjoy watching.

When I was little like 4, 5, or 6 I thought that you could stick the tape in the VCR and record something that you missed on TV. So I tried doing that once when I missed my episode of Arthur. So now in the middle of a Charlie Brown Christmas on video tape is Bill Nye the Science Guy talking about desert animals.

I want my Arthur!

When I first heard the expression "No news is good news" I took it literally and whilst watching tv one day my mom asked me what I was watching and I answered 'good news' thinking that because I wasn't watching the news then I must've been watching good news!

When I was younger I used to think that at 2:00 in the morning the power company would shut off all of the tv's in the world because i thought no one in the world would be up at that time.

When I was a child, my Dad placed a huge stuffed bear next to the TV. At least it was huge to me at the time.

Dad told me that if I touched the TV the bear would get me, and if my Dad couldn't find me then he would know what really happened when he wasn't looking.

I watched more bear than TV for the longest while.

Then came the remote control. ;-)

my sister used to think that 'bill payer' was a real person and used to wonder why we had to ask this guy Bill Payer if we wanted to call one of those competition numbers off the tv!

I used to think that when the television station was having problems and they played the comericial that said 'Please Stand By' that you had to stand by the television. So, I did.

I used to think that on the News, the reporters didnt wear pants because they were behind a desk >.< Actually, I still believe that >.>

Im so Immature lol

I think Basil Brush once said that he lived in the white dot you get when you turn the TV off. well, I had no reason to doubt him so whenever anyone wanted to turn the TV off they had to wait for me to stand by the TV to get a glimpse of him: of course I would insist I did

Karen

my freind used to belive that if she touched the television she would get sucked in, needless to say she was terrified of having to live with barney for the rest of her life if she touched the TV

teehee

when i was younger, the tv had to 'warm up' before it could actually show anything on screen..when you turned it on, it was just white noise..and then the national anthem would play then all the shows would start to air..and whenever i got too close to the tv or touched the screen, my mother told me that the tv would suck my blood if i touched it or came too close to it..i actually thought that up until i moved to north america...

when i was little, i used to believe that the presenters on tv could actually hear you. whenever they would ask a question to the audience, i used to reply by talking into the grills at the back of the tv (where the heat is relesed.) i also thought that the canned laughter was your que to laugh and would force myself to laugh whenever it came on!

what.do.you.care

When I was little, I used to watch a lot of PBS, and before every program, it would tell you who sponsored it. All the shows seemed to be sponsored by a company called Viewers Like You. I couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do, but I figured they must be very rich if they could pay for so many TV shows! I think I was about 14 when it finally hit me...

i used to believe there was a little tiny man inside the video camera my dad used to use. so when no one was looking i would get really close and tap on the glass, asking if he was okay, or if he needed some bread. we have the evidence on film

i used to believe television was just another window in our house. i used to talk to the tv. i thought sesame streeet characters were just my neighbors. i was so proud. somehow, i felt that they dont hear me or they dont care what i say, so i shout to them sometimes. i was so disappointed when i got to visit my cousins. "they're your neighbors too?!"

For several years I used to listen to the TV news reports of guerillas attacking people in Guatemala and Mozambique, but thought they were talking about gorillas.

Ian Steele

I used to belief that if you stood behind the TV, you would appear on the screen.

Gen Rodenis

I used to think that in reruns the actors were actual performing again. It never occurred to me to think why they never aged or anything.

Anon

I used to be totaly amazed that the news was on TV 'EVERY' day! I mean come on, your telling me that there is never a day when nothing happens, never!
