I used to believe that turning the TV off while a character is on screen kills the character. I would also fast forward over part where a character is suffering because I believed that would make their suffering last for a shorter amount of time

When I was 10 years old I really like to watch television, sometimes I stayed very late at night watching it but once they caught my attention that I no longer saw why it was bad for my eyes but I did not, my mother got angry and told me that when I sleep I would take a demon for watching a lot of television

— Dennys Sisalema

When I was a child, my mother said that I did not have to watch a lot of television, so she believed that if I watched a lot of television I would go blind, so when I watched a lot of television and my eyes felt tired, I was scared because I thought I would go blind.

When i was a child i used to think that all the news that was broadcast on television was acted as if it were any movie or some other entertainment program for adults such as robberies, assassinations, suicides, voting to elect a president, absolutely everything.

I used to think that MTV unplugged was when you had to take the tv plug out, and wondered how people could still watch tv if it was disconnected.

Many moons ago, when I was a kid I used to watch "Underdog". On that show there was a character named Polly Purebred. Being my silly 5-year-old self I didn't understand what "purebred" meant and could never understand why a dog was named after bread.

When I watched Stars in Their Eyes as a 90's kid, I always thought the person dressing up as a singer was instantly transformed the second they went through the doors and came out again, and didn't realize that they were just speeding up the time, while he or she had a makeover!

I used to watch Eastenders in the 90's, and when Grantand Tiffany had their baby girl, named Courtney, my mum said 'it's not really Tiffany's baby, it's someone else's really', I thought she meant that Courtney really had different parents and they must have adopted her, even though she actually meant it was just a baby used for acting!

When I was a child, I didn't understand the concept of re-runs. So when I saw the same episode being played on TV, I thought to myself "they must get really tired of doing the same episode" and "how do they ever get to watch the show themselves?"

I used to believe that when television channels when they would sign off at night play the American anthem and say please stand by , I would get up and stand by the television .

— Danielle Hagen

I used to believe in ghosts that appeared on TV.

When my dad told me that The Flintstones was based in prehistoric times and made in the '70s, I thought that meant the 70's era was prehistoric so they would be vintage cave people.

— Natasha

I used to think that the people in the Domino's Pizza sponsorship ads on The Simpsons were meant to be the actual characters themselves and that it was Homer who said 'woohoo!' when the doorbell rang.
