tv

I believed that the way t.v shows were made was that every household was being filmed all the time. So I thought that maybe my family was on t.v. somewhere.

I had a very vivid and strong imagination as a kid. In my kitchen there used to be a big table with a very long table cloth over it. So me and my brother used to go under it and lean against the wall and watch tv from the tablecloth. I have no idea how I somehow created tv from the tablecloth but we would talk about we were watching too... wierd hell yeh

I am 45. When I was a child I used to believe that a TV show did not start until the TV was turned on, rather than at an exact time. I would get so upset on Saturday nights if I came in and my sister had already turned on "Red Skeleton." I would cry because I thought that she had "let it out" before I got there!

A long time ago, newsreaders would be looking at the teleprompter, but every so often, they'd pretend to glance down
and read from a piece of paper. When they did that, it would look to me as if they had closed their eyes. I used to wonder why they were talking little naps during the news!

when i was a kid the show "little house on the prarie" was my biggest sorce of confusion, i just didnt understand how they could make a tv show with no electricity....

I thought that little people crawled through the wires in the back of the TV...so that's how we could see them on TV.

I used to believe you could go into the back of the TV & pull the people out

My parents did a very good job of teaching my baby sister that the things you see on television aren't real. When she was 2 and I was 12, I went on the program "AM Chicago" to talk about a child safety program I was a counselor in. When my mother and sister turned on the TV at home to watch, my sister freaked out -- she thought that because she saw her brother on TV, it meant that he wasn't real anymore.

I used to believe that when you could here people laughing during a sitcom ( a live TV audience0 that the laughs were coming from little people inside the television.

When I was a child, I used to believe that if you turned off you r tv during a show, that the show would "halt" where it was, and as long as no one turned on the tv before you got back to it, you could continue watching your show from where you left off. I used to think that someone turned the tv on when I was away, making me miss the rest of my show... This was before video recorders were availabe to the general public...

I used to believe that when I turned off the TV, whatever I was watching would "pause". When I came back and turned it on, I was disappointed to see it had kept going and was over.

Justin

I used to believe that at the end of each day all of the TV shows on a particular channel would rewind on air, like a video.

Anon

I used to belive that when a news caster greated the viewers with a "Hello" they were talking to me through the television. I always anwsered back "Hi!"

Jessica W.

I used to beleive that if I broke open the T.V. I would be able to climb inside my favorite shows.

Chris

I thought that the people on television didn't exist at all because my parents always used to tell me they were fake.

Megan

When I was six, my grandpa was reading the tv guide, telling me what shows would be on later. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how people knew AHEAD of time what was going to be on!

Heather

when i was smaller like 3 or 4, i don't believe there's actors/actress on tv, unless i see them in reality. I always see them as robots.

June

When I was younger, I used to believe that every TV show or movie was actually taking place in another dimension. I believed that the people there were other versions of the people in this dimension, and that every time a new show came out, a new dimension was created. I'm 18, and I still kind of believe this.

Colette

when i was about 4 i used to think that when the tv was on their was actors standing behind of it acting and when it was turned off i used to think that the actors was takin a break. so i used to check behind my tv

Tasha

When I was little, my old babysitter scared me into always rewinding videotapes by telling me the VCR would explode if the tape went all the way to the end. I believed it! To this day, out of habit, I still make sure to stop the tape and rewind.
