I had no clue what re-runs were. I thought that all lvie action shows were shot live in the studio, and I was shocked that they actually recorded them and showed them later.

I was a huge Courage The Cowardly Dog fan at the age of eight until the age of ten. And there's this one episode with this creepy mummy king giving the people three plagues. I had no problems with it at first.

That was until my friend at school said "My brother is afraid that guy's gonna show up in our bathtub."

After that, for a while *I* was afraid the creepy mummy king plague dude was going to show up in *my* bathtub. Hahaha. Now I'm into Courage again 'cause my guardian and I like to watch it together. CREEPY MUMMY KINGS ARE YET TO SHOW UP IN MY BATHTUB, LULZ.

I use to think that tv was real and during commercials they would stand very still so they'd be in the same spot. And all the actors had twins that would live on another channel. And I thought they were watching me on their tvs

I used to believe that sitcom stars actually lived in the cities where their shows were set - even though I knew the shows were filmed in studios. For instance, I thought Jaleel White (as Steve Urkel) lived in Chicago, while Jodie Sweetin (as Stephanie Tanner) lived in San Francisco. So, I was quite surprised to learn that these shows were actually filmed right next to each other in Los Angeles!

When I was a little girl my father was on TV and radio a lot. Most of his broadcasts were live. Whenever I would hear or see him I would understand he would be at work. Which in my opinion was being inside a radio or TV. It started getting really confusing when there were prerecorded broadcasts and he would be sitting next to me...

I always thought that when you turned the tv off it would "pause" whatever program you were watching until you turned it bac on again.

I used to believe when I was young that If you were watching a program and turned off the tv the program would pause. But to my dismay after dinner my favourite tv show was over...now I waste electricity keeping the tv on.

My father had (and he still does) a huge collection a videos, that he recorded himself and labelled very carefully with those he found and cut in those video magazines. And he would keep the old ones, in case he could use them again... Well, as a very little kid, I thought that the movie on the video depended on the label on the box! so one day, I changed the label of one the videos, excpecting to get my favourite musical on.... it didn't and I cried of disapointment, while my mother was looking at me, appaled to have akid obsessed with videos

When I was 3 I used to believe everything on t.v. actually happened:)!

I was exposed to violent movies at a young age so whenever someone would get shot, I thought that somekind of magic poison blood would come out of the gun and kill the person... nice thought for a 5 year old,huh?

When I was little I came home from primary school (I'm in Scotland by the way) and I asked saw my dad watching a programme that had been on the night before. Not realising that this had been recorded on a video I asked some time later if he could rewind the TV for me too, so I could watch my favourite childrens show! When my dad told me that you couldn't rewind telly I couldn't understand how people could live without this highly important feature I believed televisions had!

— Duncan S

I used to believe that if you were watching a cartoon on TV, that it was okay to turn it off if you had to go out with your mum or something, because when you got home later, you could just turn the TV on and the cartoon would continue from where you left it before! (This was long before video recorders were invented!)

— Bernie

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

I used to think Jim Carrey and Drew Carey were brothers. err.. right.

— They sounded alike!

When I was little, my mother told me that in the video where Courtney Cox is dancing with Bruce Springsteen, that it was her, and i believed her for many years, and even told my friends.

— Kris

i believed that the people were just playing the show for me and that no noe else saw the same show. So, boy was i surprised when the show i saw yesterday was on my friends tv.
