When I was a kid I used to think that if I watched the program "Solid Gold" that the tv would give me solid gold.

i used to believe that the people on tv were actually acting right then and there over in that certain spot.i then figured out that they had to record shows and movies then play them.it took me 6-7yrs to realize that.lol

When I was young I belived that my dentist was Elmo. Even though he didn't talk like elmo.

I understood the idea of stage names from doing theater work as a kid so it did not surprise me that a character on the Mickey Mouse Club was named Annette Fruity Jello, though I did find the name funny.

I thought the television show "Combat" was a dramatization of the same war that was on the evening news, the Vietnam War.

As soon as Bruce Banners eyes started to change I'd hide behind the couch incase the Incredible Hulk would get me.
Sometimes I'd be behind the couch for over half an hour as our regular baby-sitter would tell me that he "wasn't back to normal yet".

I used to think that all shows were live, and when a re-run was on the actors had to do the whole entire show over again. I remember watching Three's Company and thinking Jack did this before.

Our house was the second house on the street. Our road and housing development continued further back than I was permitted to venture at the tender age of 3 or 4. My teenage brother told me that if you went far enough down our road past the turn, you'd get to Sesame Street. Of course, my brother knew everything, so I believed him. We moved away from that house when I was 5. To this day I don't know what was down past that turn in our road, but at least I now know that Big Bird lives all the way out in California, not Maryland!

I used to believe that deadly snakes lived in the wall of my bathroom. I saw the animated show Rikki Tikki Tavi when I was a child which was about a family who had cobras living in the wall in their bathroom. They needed a mongoose to protect them from the cobras and I just thought that every house had deadly snakes living inside the walls. I would never get out of bed to use the bathroom during the night. Great show for kids to watch, huh?

I used to beleive that in the movies or on TV when they kissed on tv that they put parchment paper..or foil or somthing like that on each of the people lips so they didn't have to touch each others lips.

I used to believe that “Jim'll Fix It” was the guy's name (first name, Jim'll, surname Fixit). I thought it was an incredible coincidence that his name fitted so well with the theme tune from his show, "Jim'll Fixit for you, and you, and you, and you...)

For some reason, I thought Siskel and Ebert was a show starring 2 sisters, so my little sister and I would play "Siskel and Ebert", and we'd have all these adventures. It was fun

Up until about 9 months ago, I believed that the people like Maria and Luis on Sesame Street were real people not characters being played by actors. Amazing what you can learn when you have a child of your own!!

I used to have a crush on Alan Alda, on M.a.s.h., and when I went to bed one night,I placed a handwritten sign on my window that said"Alan Alda, come here",so that he could find my house.

On Dukes of Hazzard, I used to think that Roscoe P. Coltrane's real name was "Roscoe Peekotrain". I also wondered why the hell Bo & Luke didn't look like Bo & Luke anymore and changed their names to Coy & Vance. Not to mention the guy who would sometimes narrate the show...I wondered why you could only hear him and not see him. It was also quite some time before I found out who General Lee was. After all, it wasn't like KITT on Knight Rider; General Lee could not tell anyone its name.

Man, kindergarteners are so oblivious.
