when i was a kid i used to think that if you were in the middle of watching a tv show and you turned off the tv, that when you turned it back on later, it would still be at the same spot in the same show like it was a movie put on pause... i think i believed this because my brother and i were watching some cartoon one day and turned off the tv to go outside and play, and when we came back in hourslater, we turned on the tv again and it was the exact part of the exact same episode of the exact same show we had been watching earlier. it was obviously just a wayyyy coincidental fluke, but from there on out i thought that's how tv worked.
