I beleived that television shows would pause when I stopped watching and resume at the same point when I came back to watch the tube. Because of short attention spans, I didn't realize the truth. One day I was very irritated to discover that a different show was on after a trip to town, and none of my friends at school saw the end of the episode that I had missed!
