i believed that if i didnt do my homework or if i had done something bad that Bill Bixby was going to come to my house and change into the Incredible Hulk and hunt me down...i had nightmares about the Hulk when i went to bed escaping punishment..and after waking up in a cold sweat i would wake up and do my homework or confess to my folks what i did before i could go to sleep again... i still cant watch the TV show, i get nervous watching just about anything with Bill Bixby or Lou Ferrigno in it...and just forget about seeing the Movie for the Hulk coming out next year...
I used to believe that "Little House on the Prairie" was filmed actually in the 1800's - that the cameramen just followed the Ingall's family around taping them. Then they edited out the boring parts and what was left was the hour we got to see on TV.
I used to think that all of the people on TV were just standing around waiting for you to turn it on. Once you turned it on they all started their TV shows. The moment you turned it off they all stopped, stood against the inside of the back of the TV like they were lined up against a wall and waited for you to turn on the TV again.

I was very adamant about the fact that Kermit the Frog's name was actually "Kermithy." He was never much for enunciation.
I used to believe that the girls on the TV show HEE HAW stuffed their shirts with big brown bowls, because nobody could have perfectly rounded tan boobs like they had.
When I was little I asked my older brother why The Beverly Hillbillies always said "Don't come back now, ya hear?" after the show. He said it was because there was a button on the back of the tv that you could push and watch the show over again. I asked him to show me so that I could watch King Kong, but he refused saying that I would make the Beverly Hillbillies have to do their program all over again. I was pretty old before it occurred to me that that was a big fat lie.
I used to think that it was soooo cool that the first person in line on Wheel of Fortune was always, coincidentally, the person that got to play the game first. It wasn't until I was in my late teens when I figured out that they flipped a coin before the game, and arranged the people in the right order!!!
When I was 12 my older sister told me how cool and funny Monty Python's Flying Circus was so when I had the chance i turned it on and for some bizarre reason there was actually a circus on the channel instead. For about 5 years I assumed she meant the circus. I could never figure out what the big deal was. You can imagine what a suprise "The Life of Brian" was to me.
When I was a kid, I thought that the shows on TV were real life people, and that there was a camera all aound my family that other families watched.

My sister used to think that we were six months behind Australia in 'Neighbours' because it took six months for the tv signal to get round the world.
i was certain that when the television turned off, the people in the show froze, only to resume when the TV was turned back on. I was forced to turn off "the Incredible Hulk" and come to dinner. Afterwards, my dad turned on the TV when i went to the bathroom. I was furious to discover that the Hulk was over because Dad had turned on the TV without me...

When I was kid and I watched "little house on the prairie" I could never understand why if they have cameras that can film then they don't have a TV
I was a young adult before I finally realized that, at the end of Hogan's Heroes, you're seeing Col. Hogan's hat on top of the spike of Col. Klink's spiked helmet. Until then, it had always appeared to be some weird kind of hat or helmet I'd never seen before.
Recently I was watching reruns of 'Let's Make a Deal' (hosted by Monty Hall) with my sister, and she said, "When I was little I thought his name was Monty Python".
When I was small I remember watching the Cosby show and not understanding that he was black, I just thought he was dirty.

My husband used to play Alias Smith & Jones with his brother and his friend. The brother and his friend were Smith and Jones and my husband was Alias...
I used to believe that Tiff Needell was called Tiffany Dell. I could never figure out why a bloke, espeically a racing driver, had a girls name.
My friend told me that Wombles were real and I belived her. They originally came from Africa and she had one at her home. Unfortunately when I went round there to see him, he was out on his daily walk.
I used to believe than Duck Donald and Gang was true people.
I used to watch Romper Room with baited breath when Helen Mirren took out her Magic Mirror and called out the names of the children she could "see". Iwas so excited when she finally "saw" me. I really believed her mirror could see into my house!!
