I used to believe that there was someone "working" inside of the TV set that sat there and changed the channels when I turned the knob. I would spin the knob around really fast trying to confuse them, but they always got it right. Mom told me that they could see me, too, so I should get dressed before I sat down in front of the TV so that I wouldn't be seen in my PJ's.
