media: tv

My mother told me that when you turned the TV off the people inside it could then have a turn at watching you. When I was alone I would cover up the TV with a blanket so they couldn't see me. I think my mother might really have believed this.

I also used to believe that when shows appeared in black and white that the TV was just broken. At one point in my childhood my cousin had told me that I had turned the color off on the TV by pushing the wrong button and that I'd be in serious trouble when she told my mother. What a mean trick! :P

I used to believe that when you turned the TV off ,all the programs would stop. so i would leave the TV on when there was a program i didnt like just because i thought it was the only way to watch the next one.

I used to believe that what was showing on black & white TVs was filmed in places without color. I felt bad for those unfortunate people that had to live in black & white.

Thanks to my sister, I used to believe that babies saw everything upside-down. Every time we were watching television, my sister would insist that I watch it upside-down so that I could see life through a baby's eyes. And so that's what I did.

I used to believe that if you looked on the side of the television when the news was on, you could see the rest of the newsroom. :)

My sister told me that pressing on the red button on the remote control would blow up the television. I believed it quite some time, I didn't lay a finger on that button for many years!

When I was younger, I always noticed that all the commercials on television were always of things we didn't have, whether it be some new toy or an insurance company. After we switched phone companies, we suddenly started getting commercials for our old company and stopped seeing the one we had switched to. It made me think that all companies kept track of what we had purchased so they could concentrate their advertising on those who did not have their product.

I used to think that "show business" was something really boring because of the "business" part. When I heard about adults being very passionate about show business, I was confused because business is something you don't usually act excited about.

I used to believe I'd get glued to the television if I watched it too much, after what my mum said. I literally thought that someone would come up behind me and glue *me* to the television!

When i was little, i used to believe that if you broke a television set, the static "snow" would spill out of the screen and onto the floor.

In the 50's when we got our first television, I believed all the really pretty women were'nt real but robots or dolls because no one could be that pretty and perfect.

i used to talk to the people on playschool through the speaker part of the tv...id get right up close to the telly and have in depth conversations with my mouth over the speaker...i guess it jsut never phased me that they werent answering back!! :)

I thought the 'dubbing mixer' on TV credits was the person in charge of stirring the make up for the actors.

When I was young,I used to believe that if you watched colour TV,your eyes would drop out.Thanks Dad!You just didn't want the expense of renting a colour set!

Me and my sister use to believe if we walked in front of a clicker when it was being used to change the channel we would be sucked into whatever program was on at that time. We ducked under the clicker everytime we walked past the tv until we were about 12.
