I used to believe…

Once while watching Little House on the Prarie, I asked my mom if Mary was Charles' daughter. She jokingly said "No, he just thinks she is." I still don't consider Mary a true "Ingalls" girl!

I used to believe that things would come out of the tv if i went of the screen i would wait for hours to see it come out.

I used to believe that 'canned' laughter (from sitcom tracks and the like) actually came from a can- that you opened a giant tuna can with speakers inside, and you could hear the audience laughing in front of their TVs. This was waaaaay past the era of sitcoms... and I believed it until about 3 years ago. ::BLUSH::

I was born in 1960, so when I was a small child, cars had push button radios, where pushing the buttons changed the station. I explain this for those younger generations who don't know what these are. There were small gaps around the buttons where light escaped from the internal light of the radio. I remember looking inside trying to see the musicians who were making the music I was hearing on the radio. I don't recall how old I was at the time, hopefully this is a very early memory!

i used to believe that the government gave everyone in the country video cameras just so that they could put people having accidents on 'you've Been Framed'.

I used to believe…

This is very sad - my neice (22) believed that the 'bloopers' at the end of animation movies like 'Toy Story' where real - she really believed that it was strange that they would have made such mistakes in filming an animation.
While everyone else listened to her in stunned silence I broke it to her gently pretending that she was just joking (I'm not too sure if she 'gets it' though).

I used to believe…

When i was younger, I used to believe that Doctor Who was real, and I was a timelady.
I also used to believe if i was bad the Daleks would come and exterminate me, so i was always good!

I used to believe…

My sister and I used to "play pretend" and we would often act like characters from Disney movies we had seen.

I knew that I was better then my sister at acting because I was convinced that which ever character I played I looked and sounded exactly like them.

I used to believe…

When I was little, I thought that little people lived inside radios, and they were the ones that made the music come out. Boy was I wrong. LOL.

I use to believe Mark Fowler from eastenders was my dad because he had the same name as my dad and my realy dad didn't live with. I thought he didn't live with me because he was too busy on the fruit and veg stool in walford!

I used to believe…

In England we have a tv programme called ' You've been Framed' where you can send in video clips of people having accidents and so on. I used to believe that the government gave a free video camera to everyone just so they could send clips in to You,ve Been Framed'.

I used to believe…

That people lived in the TV. I used to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get those people out of the TV.

I used to believe…

You know how in the film "Child's Play" the full name of Chucky the evil doll is "Charles Lee Ray"? Well when I first heard the name (I've never seen the movie) I thought it was the name of a REAL serial killer and was rather confused why they would make a story about a real (but dead) serial killer possessing a doll.

I used to believe…

When I was younger, (up to when I was about 7 years old), I believed that the salemen/women that come to your door were asking you to become an actor. I had no idea you had to audition or anything. I was always hoping for a spot on Barney or be a voice on Arthur, and I was mad at my mom for telling the people, "We're not interested."

i used think animated films were shot on special film to look like a cartoon. I never questioned why the animals talked and stuff though

i used to believe when a woman gave birth on television it was real. I found it very hard to believe u could talk and actress into doing that. I changed my mind when i was asked to play Tamar in a church play.
