I thought If you hit the T.V. with a hammer and the screen broke then what ever you were watching would come out of the t.v.

i used to believe that if you moved to an angle at the tele you could see round the corner of the picture

I used to believe that when I was watching sesame street that if I turned it off in the middle of the program and came back a while later and turned it on, it would still be there. That never did work.

When I was small my older brother would take one of the television remotes and leave the other one by me. He would then "use his psycic powers" to make the channel change. It never occured to me that he would use the other one.....took me years to figure that out......

When I was like 5 I thought that TV shows with real people(like Friends) were just really good animations.

Me!

When I was little I used to think that the programmes I watched on telly were just seen by me and my family. I was realy surprised when I heard someone at school ask if anyone had seen the same thing I'd watched the night before

up until i watched "i love the 80's", i thought when people made short jokes on t.v and reffered to webster (the cute,short,t.v. charachter played by emmanuel lewis), i thought they were talking about miriam webster, the writer of all those dictionarys.

therefore i assumed miraim webster was an extremely short person..

I used to believe that when you could here people laughing during a sitcom ( a live TV audience0 that the laughs were coming from little people inside the television.

I used to believe that the TV show i was watching stopped in the exact place when I turned the tube off. Later did I learn that the program came on at 7:30am and 3:30pm, right before i went to school and right when i got home from school. idiot,

i used to think that the remote control was magic and only my dad could control it

Whn I was a child, I tohught that you can jump into the tv, and you'll be in whatever show that's on.

i used to beleive that the people in those commercials were actually in the tv. one time my brother was in one of the commercials and i FREAKED OUT.

The first time I saw a news broadcast on TV, I thought they could see and hear you through the screen. I waved 'hi' to the reporter and then I tried to talk to him and ask him questions.
There was another such incident while I was watching an old Disney cartoon. I belive it was a Western. I thought that I could help Mickey beat up Pistol Pete by hitting his image on the TV screen. I waited for next scene that would show Pete, and when I saw him again, I bopped him with a Tinkertoy piece.

when i was young i thought there was a long long tube at the back of the tv, through which 'tv families' and all the folks on tv would walk each morning to get to work and when they were through it - they'd fit in the box... like shrinking as they walked...

Once I watched a Shania Twain concert on TV and I thought if I turned the volume up it told her to sing louder.

I used to believe that if you took a polaroid of a television screen that the polaroid as it developed would continue to play out the scene!

Matt

I used to believe that cartoons were real but they lived in a another world and did not know we were watching them and they watched us as TV shows and shows with real people were shows that got mixed up and came to are world

When I was a kid, the logo for channel 12 was an oval with the letters "WHYY" in it, and occasionally the station would show the logo and play music. I used to believe that the logo was actually a small dark-colored man with the logo as his head, and I was in mortal danger whenever the music would start to play. I was so afraid that he would come out and drag me into the TV! Needless to say, I never watched channel 12.

When I was little and watched shows like Sesame Street and Barney, I understood that the characters were really people in costumes. But I also thought that it was VERY hard to memorize lines, and so they would have the script taped up inside their costume, so they could just read it during the show instead of actually learning their lines. I also thought this about regular television shows... whenever a person on a show acts like they are reading something, they are actually reading their next line.

I used to think if you busted the TV the inside would be like a milky substance.

I also used to think people on TV didn't know they were on TV that a camera was following them around.
