When I was younger my mom babysat kids, and this one kid thought that Cookie Monster from Seseme Street, was called Cookie Monkey. it was funny.

When I was about 3, I LOVED Mr. Rogers. I used to watch him all the time. One year, he was participating in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that I was watching with my mom.

There he was...I was so excited and began waving to him from our living room. When he went by on his float, he was waving to the camera and in that moment, I truly believed that he was waving back at me.

When I was little, I was a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh-the one where people dressed up as the characters and that British guy narrated. Anways, I never caught on to the fact that Kanga and Roo made Kangaroo until my sophmore year in high school.

When I was younger, when watching TV, I used to think that the laughing that happens after a joke was the laughter of the other people watching the show from their own living rooms. I used to try to talk to my cousins or friends if I knew they'd be watching the same show.

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 sevenyears old, i watched the miniseries "V" in which alien lizards impersonated humans. i was convinced that when i went to bed, my parents stripped off their skin and relaxed as the evil lizards they truly were. i used to sit on the stairs when they thought to spy on them, trying to catch them without their human disguises on.

When I was a kid I liked the show TJ Hooker with Heather locklear, etc. Well I thought that every police officer was a "hooker". Once I was walking with my father past some cops and I yelled "look at all the hookers!" I never understood why I got an odd combination of laughs and red faces by everyone around me.

when i was about 4-5, i used to watch sesame street everyday..sometimes even twice. well after the show was over i was talking to my mom telling her that our family should take a vacation to sesame street. i was too little to get the concept of tv, and make believe. i was so sad to find out that it wasnt a real place.

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"!

Kitten

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...

When I was a kid, my mom watched alot of star trek, so naturally, I started watching it with her. Around then, I thought that starfleet academy was a real place and I wanted to grow up to be a starfleet officer

When I was little I thought Oprah Winfreys name was really "Okra" Winfrey, so one night for dinner I told my mom I wanted fried Okra for dinner, not the lady on T.V. but the kind you eat.

Cynthia

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 believe the T.V show "War of the Worlds" was for real, that those aliens were REALLY coming for us.

In the 5th grade, so many of my classmates liked to watch “Home Improvement.” Not knowing anything about the sitcom, I thought there was this new fad of watching home repair shows.

Jen

When I was younger I used to think that Married With Children was called Love and Marriage because of the theme song.

I used to think the show "Mr. Belvedere" was Mr. Velvet Ear. I couldn't understand why.

Remember Buck Rogers?? There was a character who could take his head off and set it on a table. I tried for days to take my head off and couldn't understand why he could do it so easily and I couldn't...granted I was only 3 yrs. old.

Anon

i used to believe that there real places like the care bares, the wazzles, smurfs and gummi bears. i always used to watch those shows when i was younger and i thought that they would really be real
