until i was about 8 i used to think that everything happening on TV was in real life. for example, every time an ad came on, the actors had to be in the studio and act it out. i used to be amazed at how acurately they did it every time. But I also felt sorry for them because they always had to be ready in case it was suddenly their turn.
