media: tv shows

I used to believe that deadly snakes lived in the wall of my bathroom. I saw the animated show Rikki Tikki Tavi when I was a child which was about a family who had cobras living in the wall in their bathroom. They needed a mongoose to protect them from the cobras and I just thought that every house had deadly snakes living inside the walls. I would never get out of bed to use the bathroom during the night. Great show for kids to watch, huh?

I used to think that all shows were live, and when a re-run was on the actors had to do the whole entire show over again. I remember watching Three's Company and thinking Jack did this before.

I used to believe that when you turned off the tv all the people inside on the show you were watching stopped what they were doing and waited until you turned it back on to finish what they were saying.

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.

When I was little, my mom told me she was Karen from the Micky Mouse club, and I told everyone at school.

I used to believe that when I watched a tv show, it was actually being played out and filmed under my house. I thought they had a live video feed hooked up just to my house, and only me and my family could watch it. Then I discovered the towers and the tv stations.

I used to believe that the intro. music to the series Only Fools and Hereos was "Cookie Street", instead of "Hookie Street"....oh, the inocence of childhood

When Neighbours was first shown twice a day, I felt sorry for the residents in Ramsey Street for repeating their lives 4 hours later. It was only when Scott and Charlene's wedding, I realised that the show was recorded. Having the same 2 weddings on the same day must have been costly.

i didnt like watching wombles cos I thought that they were common and didnt want to be associated with them, and i always thought of wimbledon as a dreadfully common place and couldnt understand why they played tennis there.

I used to believe…

jim'll fix it was my favourite programme when i was little. (english show about mad eccentric cigar smoking millionaire making kid wildest dreams come true. saturday night prime time mid 80s) thought his first name was jimull and his last was fixit. i wrote to jimull fixit asking if my dad could be a dr who dalek for a day. he didn't make my dream come true but i must've made the day of some researchers in the jimull office that day!

On a 'Batman' episode, Catwoman fell off a ledge in a cave or something and Batman held Robin back, saying "Watch it, Robin! It's a bottomless pit!" I had never heard that phrase before, so I thought he said, "It's a bottom of spit!" I was picturing a pool of saliva at the bottom of the hole.

I grew up in NY and used to believe that The Dukes Of Hazard took place during the Civil War.

when i was younger..i remember when me and my sister who was two years older than i would watch the andy griffith show. i remember each time the theme song came on she would whistle..and she convinced me for a couple years that she was the one who actually whistled that on tv.

When I Was a Kid I Believed That Clouds Were Made By Sweet Cotton.

When I was a kid we used to watch the TV series "Alias Smith and Jones". I was puzzled for years about why they only told you Smith's first name in the title.

I used to believe…

a sitcom meant that you sat while you were watching the comedy
