media: tv shows

I used to believe that the Oscars were a pagan ritual aired on TV to try and get new members. Therefore, I was always afraid of the actors I saw recieving awards, because I thought they had become one of them and were now trying to get me to become a pagan as well by using subliminal messages whenever I watched a movie with them in it.

My sister informed me that Eastenders was filmed in the West end and that it was just called "Eastenders" I argued the point but lost, so I spent a number of years under this apprehension, before ridiculing myself in front of some friends by trying to justify my knowledge.....sister eh!

I used to think that laugh tracks on sitcoms were the laughter of all the people watching the show, so i used walk up to the speakers on the tv and say stupid things to see what would happen. :)

When I was about eight, my parents were coming to bed at night and found me sitting by the front door, fully dressed. They asked me why I was there and not in bed, I said I was waiting for Superted and Spotty to come and get me because they needed my help with a mission. I honestly believed that!

when i used to watch Lambchop i used to think it was a real sheep well one day my mom brought home the puppets of the Lambchop show and that's when i realised it was only a puppet, i cried so hard that my mother started to make me watch Barney, instead i was afraid of Barney didn't like the sound of when the toy turned into a REAL GIANT BARNE. i screamed so much that my mom had to entertain me constantly with pop up books.

When I was growing up Melissa was not a common name so I thought I was the only Melissa to grace the planet. One day at the end of Romper Room the show's host would look straight into the camera say "good-bye" and a kid's name. One day she said "good-bye melissa". I freaked out because I thought this woman could see me. Naturally my good parents convinced me that whenever the tv was on this woman could see me and if I did anything bad she would tell my parents.

When I was around 8-9, I would sneak and watch the forbidden program "Three's Company". So only catching bits of it I couldn't figure out what the big deal was to be homosexual because to my mind, being "gay" meant you “acted” like the opposite sex... that it took a lesbian woman and homosexual man make a couple, but then the woman would have to lead when they danced.

When i was a kid, i saw that the Japanese Robot TV show (Robot No 17 and 28) are so real (they are not cartoon).
i believed that there were such robots existed. Otherwise they cannot have these tv shows

When i saw the last episode of a TV show when i was a kid , i saw the main character was sentenced to dead and the chop her head.
i thought she really died after this TV show

I though when someone was shot on a TV show they really died.

When i was a child my cousin told me that i would be going onto crackerjack, the kids programme, i believed her and trained hard, after 6 months she asked what i was practicing for i told her crackerjack, oh she said i forgot about that, i was only winding you up. Very funny, thanks deb.

My dad used to wear blue jeans and a straw hat. I used to belive that my dad was really Smokey the Bear.

i had this weird belief that if i watched a reflection of the daleks in a wall unit they could not get me ... but if i dared to look at the tv screen where they were "real" that would be the end of me

my good mate graham confided to me that he had been having nightmares ... the daleks from dr who were chasing him around the supermarket he worked in ... ok i said ... where do you go for lunch ... upstairs to the lunch room he replied ... laughing i told him if the daleks chase you again go to the lunchroom as daleks couldnt get upstairs they only rolled on flat floors and up ramps ... he still thanks me now 15 years later ...

i usd to think that Julia-Louise Dreyfuss (Seinfeld) was married to Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws,etc.).

I thought "To Be Announced" was a TV show, because it was sometimes listed in TV Guide.
