i used to believe that the bubbles on the laurence welk show came out of the people's instruments

I used to believe that the laugh tracks on sitcoms were actual people watching the show in their own houses, so i used to laugh really loud so they could hear me too.

I used to belive Ellen DiGenerous and Martha Stewart were the same person!

I also though Ellem DiGenerous was Ellen THE generous, because she gave gifts and so was "gererous"

Why?

I used to believe that you can ride on your bed and fly to a dream land, like in the Pajanimals.

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.

On the tv show blind date they used to have a part of the floor close to the audience that was black, I thought it was a gaping hole to stop the audience from running onto the stage.

When I was little, I thought that if you crawled down Mr. Rogers' Trolley tunnel you would actually reach the land of make believe.

when i was really little there was this TV show with Lee Majors... i'm pretty certain it was The Fall Guy... so in this one episode, him and his sidekick were driving through this desert with bad guys chasing after them... so the sidekick is holding these batteries like hot potatoes and he's throwing these hot batteries out the window at the bad guys... and they were exploding and blowing up the cars that were chasing them!

so i asked my mom if batteries would blow up if you threw them... and for whatever reason she was like "yes, don't ever throw batteries! thats dangerous..." and that was all the proof i needed... i thought for years that batteries were like bombs and would explode if i dropped them or knocked them too hard...

My friends and I used to pretend we were the girls from "Sailor Moon" and we would watch the show everyday. When we watched it, we would point out the characters and tell each other and our parents that that was us on TV. I was really disappointed when we all yelled "Moon Power" and funky glitter didn't come out of our fingers and disable our enemies!

When I used to watch the australian soap, "home and away" as I child, I'd have great fun singing along to the theme tune, but I always got confused when the song was drawing to an end and it said,"glosseridge day", I used to wonder what in God's name a Glosseridge day was. I was about 12 when I finally worked out that the words were actually,"closer each day"!

i thought that all television sitcoms were real with real people and their real lives. i thought everyone had their own tv show and when your tv was turned off was when your show was on for everyone else to see. so whenever my tv was off and i was in just my underwear i'd freak out and run to my room and put my pants on.

When I was 3 or 4 I thought that my dad was Mr. Dress-up (a Canadian children's entertainer) because they looked somewhat similar. I thought that when he went to work that he was going to the tv station and my proof was that he was on the tv right after he left the house each morning.

I also believed that if I whispered into the headphone jack on the tv that whoever was on the screen could hear my voice coming out of no where...

As a little kid, I was very fond of Gumby, and decided that when I grew up, I wanted to be him. I even used to practise that one-footed slide he does on his show (I fell down a lot). No one told me that this wasn't a valid career option until I was 7. =)

I use to believe that Barney was actually a really mean person. After the camera went off he would scream at all the kids and hit them and would let them go home to their families. I would watch the show for secret crys of help from the kids so I could convince my parents to go help them. My parents were convinced that I actually liked it. They bought me sheet with Barney's face and I flipped. I don't think they ever understood me.

The Fidiot

I used to believe that the TV show Leave it to Beaver took place in modern day instead of years ago. I couldn't understand why they wore such goofy clothes. And if the family lived in such a huge house, why did the two brothers share a bedroom? And why were they so afraid of their father? He didn't look scary to me, and he never yelled at them.

When my mom said she was going to watch her soaps, I thought she was going to watch a show about a bar of soap. I learned otherwise when she watched her soaps and I had nothing better to do.

I thought that Father Guido Sarduche, from SNL, was an actual priest, up until I was in my 30's! So embarrassing.

I used to think the wombles song "Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we" referred to their social positioning, as in they weren't posh. Actually I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I moved to London and visited Wimbledon Common.

i used to believe that the official start of the weekend was when Miami Vice came on Friday Nights at 10...after that it was "really" the weekend.
