When I was young, I believed that everything you saw on TV happened live. I thought that whenever you watched a re-run of a TV show, it meant that the actors actually had to get back together on the same set and act out the show all over again. I asked my mother about this, but she wasn't paying attention and mumbled "Uh-huh." So I continued believing it for years, until I understood the concept of "taping". Funny, I never stopped to wonder how people who had been dead for years could be on live TV...
