I thought that there were TV cameras everywhere, watching us all the time, and that only the funny cool people got on TV (this was in the '60s). My evidence? "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and, sadly, "Get Smart", were to me so obviously real that this must be true. I tried to be really hilarious and interesting as often as I thought of it so my family would be on tv too. Hey, I was REALLY young -- 5 and 6.
