People on TV shows live inside the television

When I was old enough to realize what a T.V. was, I thought that little people lived in it and performed just for me. I didn't know they didn't live in the television until many years later.

when i was little while watching TV, i used to believe that the people i saw on TV were actual little tiny people inside the TV, and if you broke open the TV everyone would come running out of it.

I used to believe the people on television (in the 50s) when I was a little kid were live and if you broke the screen open, you could pull them out

I used to believe that whenever someone was on TV they were being recorded in real time, right then and there, and transmitted to our homes over the air waves. So, when I was watching Back to the Future on one TV, and my mom was watching an interview with Michael J. Fox in the other room, it totally blew my mind. How could be in two places at once?!

When I was younger and would see someone die in a movie or show, I thought that the actors would sacrifice their actual lives just for the role, and it use to make me cry every time.

When I was 3/4 I LOVED Rafi! I had vhs tapes of him I would watch over and over. I remember once I said to my mom "mom did you know that tapes are just recordings and Rafi doesn't have to come back each time I watch this?!" I thought he was in my TV singing everytime I watched the table.

When I was a child I believed that on television there were people inside it, I had asked my mother and she said that they are small people who get into the telvision and live inside the telvision, I stopped believing in that at about 12 years old jaja

I used to believe that little people and things were inside the T.V. (which is how it worked) and if you broke the screen they would all come flooding out.

I used to believe everything seen on the TV(television) was actually inside the TV and I could get them all by simply opening the TV.

I used to think that if you opened up a TV set, there would be little people inside acting, and they would all be shocked to see giant people peering down at them. Yeah, I'm weird.

I used to believe if you broke the TV tiny people would come out.

This is one of the first memories I can remember. I used to beleive when I was REALLY young that there were tiny little poeple in the TV acting, and when you bought or rented a VHS tape, the little people went from the tape to the TV to do the show for you.

When I was about 4 or 5, I used to believe that everything on tv was performed live by miniature people! They had a life of their own though and would commute through the cooling stripes at the back of the tv, somehow completely undetected by us.

I used to believe that my cartoon characters lived inside the TV, and when my mom put the video tape in it was just their cue to start performing.
