when i was little, there was a tv programme on called Sesame Street. There was this wierd puppet dracula called 'Count Dracula' because he used to count everything that was anywhere near him! He lived in a haunted castle and had lots of bat friends. I had an obsession with him and i was convinced that i loved him! I thought one day we were going to meet in his castle, have dinner and count all night long! Also on Sesame Street, there were little clips of dogs doing stuff humans would do e.g. bake cakes and doing gymnastics. She used to think that they would jump out of the screen and haunt her. Sesame Street was a scary but educational programme when i was little!

When watching the show The Incredible Hulk, I used to think that if I watched him change from Bruce Banner he would come through the TV and get me. Trust me, I got to be very good at hiding in the cushions of the couch when I heard that telltale music.

When watching shows such as Americas Most Wanted or Unsolved Mysteries, I would get angry during reenactments. I thought what I was seeing was the crime videotaped and I could not understand why someone didn't stop it.

Captain Kirk: To Bold Lego, where no man has gone before.

They were taveling in one direction and apparenty never to there. Voyager had the same problem finding Earth years later.

I used to believe that when you turned off the tv all the people inside on the show you were watching stopped what they were doing and waited until you turned it back on to finish what they were saying.

I used to believe that the Ed Sulivan Show was called "The Ed's Elephant Show," because they always had circus acts...

James Burns

i was certain that when the television turned off, the people in the show froze, only to resume when the TV was turned back on. I was forced to turn off "the Incredible Hulk" and come to dinner. Afterwards, my dad turned on the TV when i went to the bathroom. I was furious to discover that the Hulk was over because Dad had turned on the TV without me...

I used to believe that the intro. music to the series Only Fools and Hereos was "Cookie Street", instead of "Hookie Street"....oh, the inocence of childhood

When I was around 8-9, I would sneak and watch the forbidden program "Three's Company". So only catching bits of it I couldn't figure out what the big deal was to be homosexual because to my mind, being "gay" meant you “acted” like the opposite sex... that it took a lesbian woman and homosexual man make a couple, but then the woman would have to lead when they danced.

When watching Star Trek as a kid, I always heard that opening line "..to boldly go.." as "..to bold lego..", and wondered for the longest time what it meant to "bold" something, and what exactly "lego" was.

when i was younger..i remember when me and my sister who was two years older than i would watch the andy griffith show. i remember each time the theme song came on she would whistle..and she convinced me for a couple years that she was the one who actually whistled that on tv.

I used to believe the tv serie "Doctor Who" was a spin off from James Bond... (until I saw an episode)

I could never understand how Unsolved Mysteries would be able to film things as they happened, but that the police could never get there quick enough to find out what happened. It was years before I learned that they were recreations!

My friend told me that Wombles were real and I belived her. They originally came from Africa and she had one at her home. Unfortunately when I went round there to see him, he was out on his daily walk.

when i was about 4-5, i used to watch sesame street everyday..sometimes even twice. well after the show was over i was talking to my mom telling her that our family should take a vacation to sesame street. i was too little to get the concept of tv, and make believe. i was so sad to find out that it wasnt a real place.

I used to believe that Eric Estrada was a woman. I heard the name as "Erica Strada" the first time, and just assumed this was a woman until I saw it in print as "Eric".

When i was young, i used to believe that if i dressed up as one of the teletubbies, i could have a small glittery blue television on my stomach just like them. that way, i could watch what young kids my age were doing!

When my brother and I were little, we loved to watch our favorite show about a man who would turn into a big green muscle bound monster when he would get mad. Remember? My brother called it the "Incredible Honk"

Love u Nate- Em

on some shows that i used to watch, whenever that person was sad, they would play sad music, so every time i got sent to my room, i would wait for the sad music to come on. Obiously, it never did.

Do you remember how Sesame Street sponsored each show with a letter? Well, they'd say today's show was 'brought to you by... the letter B" or something similar. Until recently I thought "brought to you" was all one word like brotiued meaning sponsored by.
