tv shows

I used to beleive that whenever Mary, Mungo and Midge got in the lift at the end of each episode, the cable would snap and they would plummet to their deaths. Apparently, I used to cry and shout at the telly every time it came on.

I used to believe that Mr. Rogers was talking to some unseen person; it never occured to me that the "you" he was addressing was me.

Shoshana

i thought that the 'cookie monster' really eats those cookies....

i shoulda just realized he wasn't, judging by ALL the cookie mess he made..

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!!!

I used to think that Bruce Wayne in the Batman series was filipino (im filipino) because of his black hair and tan skin. this was when i was 4 to 5

Marc

I used to think that soap operas were the real lives of the people on the other side of the world, and that there were hidden cameras taping me for them to watch!

Crystal Shaffer

When I was a kid I used to think that if I watched the program "Solid Gold" that the tv would give me solid gold.

Felix

When I was a kid, I used to think that the girl on "Adventures In Wonderland" really did go through a real mirror to get to Adverture Land.

I used to think soap operas, or TV dramas, were real life stories.

Stephanie

I used to watch Saturday Night Live and thought that they hired really crappy, unknown bands to play. Eventually, I realized that they were re-runs and the crappy, unknown bands were actually really famous back int he day.

Liz

I used to be very disturbed by the TV show Murder She wrote because I was conviced Jessica Fletcher (Angela Landsbury) was the one killing all the people and pinning it on other people. People were always dying when she was around. Why was I the only one noticing that?!?

Kagiso

I used to think that Madame Giselle from Peppa Pig had pink blush on one cheek, and brown blush on the other. I always wondered why she used 2 different blush colours instead of just one colour. Then my mom told me that the brown part is her nose, not blush.

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

Watching the show "Real People" when I was about 3 or 4, I thought that show was the only one where the images were actual people--and all the rest were cartoons or puppets.

When I was about 6 or 7 till i was 11. I thought that TV shows were played out in my carpeting.I didn't get how if thew show was filmed in my carpet how the people got rid of the carpet, I spent a lot of time looking for the spot on the carpet that was a tv st and looking for the people

Freddy K

I used to believe that all of my little boy-friends would grow up to look like Pat Sajak, and all of my little girl-friends (myself included) would look like Vanna White. I hate that show now...

I understood the idea of stage names from doing theater work as a kid so it did not surprise me that a character on the Mickey Mouse Club was named Annette Fruity Jello, though I did find the name funny.

Elevator Operator

My brother used to think that you could scadoo into books and t.v. shows like in blues clues and so ever since then I alwasys think how cool it would be if we could.

Airwolf: I believed there really was a guy with a dog that looked up women's skirts flying a top-secret combat copter at mach-1 to protect us from the badguys.
The Dukes of Hazzard: I believed that an orange '69 Dodge Charger with a Rebel flag and "01" on the doors could fly and that cop cars were built to fall apart easily. I also believed that a scroungy mechanic could fix anything.
The A-Team: I believed that a little insanity could actually bend the rules of reality and make imaginary friend real (hey, it worked for Murdock!).
Knight Rider: That computers could fit inside cars and make them drive themselves, that black cars can fly, and that black paint can make anything bulletproof.
You Can't Do That On Television: I believed that it wasn't uncommon for parents to put their kids back in diapers (this was a fear exploited by my parents to ensure that I behaved, so's I wouldn't be made to wear diapers again).

F.B.

Everytime I saw Oscar the Grouch pull something out of his trashcan, I wanted to get inside of it. I knew it had to be huge, a trash can mansion, and I wanted to see what else he had.
