tv shows

When I was growing up Melissa was not a common name so I thought I was the only Melissa to grace the planet. One day at the end of Romper Room the show's host would look straight into the camera say "good-bye" and a kid's name. One day she said "good-bye melissa". I freaked out because I thought this woman could see me. Naturally my good parents convinced me that whenever the tv was on this woman could see me and if I did anything bad she would tell my parents.

When I was around 8-9, I would sneak and watch the forbidden program "Three's Company". So only catching bits of it I couldn't figure out what the big deal was to be homosexual because to my mind, being "gay" meant you “acted” like the opposite sex... that it took a lesbian woman and homosexual man make a couple, but then the woman would have to lead when they danced.

When i was a kid, i saw that the Japanese Robot TV show (Robot No 17 and 28) are so real (they are not cartoon).
i believed that there were such robots existed. Otherwise they cannot have these tv shows

My dad used to wear blue jeans and a straw hat. I used to belive that my dad was really Smokey the Bear.

I thought "To Be Announced" was a TV show, because it was sometimes listed in TV Guide.

I never phoned a show, because I didn't know the guy 'Bill Payer', and therefore couldn't ask him for permission.

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 around 4 years old I would see the show 'Family Feud' on tv. What baffled me was how the answers on the board flipped over right when Richard Dawson called for them. Well for some completely unknown reason I figured it was a kangaroo back there flipping the answers over. Not just one kangaroo, it only made sense if there was a kangaroo mom and a little baby kangaroo back there.
