tv

I used to believe that whenever you turned off your TV, th Image would stay the same. That is the reason I did not get to watch most of my cartoons.

my mum used to think that on tv shows where things happened she would say " how did they know it was going to happen to film it in time?'

i used to belive when my dad used to watch the footy on TV if we couldn't see the scores in the top corner of the TV, if u peered round the edges of the screen you could see it. My neck must've really hurt...

When I was maybe 5 or 6, I used to believe that whatever channel I turned the television to would appear on every single television in the whole world. I would randomly flick through the channels or switch to a boring TV station if I felt like making the world mad.

I've never actually had Sky TV and the first time I saw it was at my then boyfriend's house (now my fiance), only about 5 years ago so I was early 20s. Anyway I thought when the menu comes up and you can see what's on later on that day, that you could just go to that programme and watch it, even if it's not on til later that day. What an idiot!

Amazingly he's still marrying me even though I'm clearly totally stupid.

When I was a young teen in the late 40's, tv was a new thing to most households. While watching an old Western shoot-em-up, I asked my mom how they got someone to take the pictures when electricity hadn't been invented yet. I didn't realize they were actors on a set in more modern times.

I used to think that all the charaters on T.V. were real.

when i was a little kid i useto beleive that if you sat on the ground to watch TV somehow the ground would turn into a sea and only the furniture could float & you would drown ..

weird kid

if I watched too much TV, I would get 'googly eyes' as mom promised, and my eyes would pop out of my head.

When I was youger, I used to believe that if you put the side of your face to the TV screen, you would be able to see everything else that they weren't showing you on the screen...like if there was a tree branch on TV, if I put the side of my face to the screen I would be able to see the WHOLE tree.

Once I watched a Shania Twain concert on TV and I thought if I turned the volume up it told her to sing louder.

I used to believe that when you watched tv whenever the shot was changed to a different camera that the operator would quickly pull out the tape and throw it to the next person who had the next shot.

When i was just a boy, i used to believe that the tv hosts were presenting the show just for me:)))
so, i was changing the channel so that i could get then when they wouldn't speak. I also used to believe that if i'dd make funny faces in front of the tv, they'll begun to laught.:))

When i was younger i was always fasinated by TV. My father asked me if i wanted to be on TV and i was thrilled! I ran off to my room and got dressed in my smartest clothes ran back to him and told him i was ready, he climbed off the sofa lifted me up and placed me on top of the TV! I asked him what he was doing and he said... "You're on TV"

Dyllon Symington

I used to believe that the news reader on TV in the 80s (Lenon Parkin I think her name was) was called Lemon Parker! She came on the TV and mum asked me in front of others "who's she" and everyone laughed and I didn't know what was so funny!

I used to think that is you paused the vidios and went out of the room, they complained about being blured! One time i came back in my room and i SWEAR one of the charactors was in a different position!

i [3 TV

i used to turn the tv off before i went to school in the morning and belive that it would stop the program i was watching and then start it again when i got home and turned the tv back on.

Brian Conley

when i was young i thought there was a long long tube at the back of the tv, through which 'tv families' and all the folks on tv would walk each morning to get to work and when they were through it - they'd fit in the box... like shrinking as they walked...

I babysat a child who told me the tv watched him and would tell on him when he did something bad. Perhaps his parents told him that, or he got that from a kid's show where the host said "hello" or "happy birthday" to a child with the same name. It made him a very well behaved child.

When I was about 4 I believed that when you watched a show or movie that had a laugh track. It was people at home laughing and was being broadcast all over the world. So I started talking very loudly into my VCR saying hi to my friends. Sadly when I played the tape over again wondering why my friends didnt say anything, I noticed that it was the exact same people laughing.
