tv shows

I used to think that the actors on tv shows sang the show's theme song.

I used to think that if the TV was not on channel 13, Sesame Street would go away forever. I would throw a hissy fit anytime the TV was not on channel 13.

I used to think that all of the people on TV were just standing around waiting for you to turn it on. Once you turned it on they all started their TV shows. The moment you turned it off they all stopped, stood against the inside of the back of the TV like they were lined up against a wall and waited for you to turn on the TV again.

When I was little, my mom told me she was Karen from the Micky Mouse club, and I told everyone at school.

I used to believe that when I watched a tv show, it was actually being played out and filmed under my house. I thought they had a live video feed hooked up just to my house, and only me and my family could watch it. Then I discovered the towers and the tv stations.

When Neighbours was first shown twice a day, I felt sorry for the residents in Ramsey Street for repeating their lives 4 hours later. It was only when Scott and Charlene's wedding, I realised that the show was recorded. Having the same 2 weddings on the same day must have been costly.

i didnt like watching wombles cos I thought that they were common and didnt want to be associated with them, and i always thought of wimbledon as a dreadfully common place and couldnt understand why they played tennis there.

On a 'Batman' episode, Catwoman fell off a ledge in a cave or something and Batman held Robin back, saying "Watch it, Robin! It's a bottomless pit!" I had never heard that phrase before, so I thought he said, "It's a bottom of spit!" I was picturing a pool of saliva at the bottom of the hole.

I grew up in NY and used to believe that The Dukes Of Hazard took place during the Civil War.

when i was younger..i remember when me and my sister who was two years older than i would watch the andy griffith show. i remember each time the theme song came on she would whistle..and she convinced me for a couple years that she was the one who actually whistled that on tv.

i Used to believe that all adult shows [even adult cartoons] were NOT supposed to be funny. They were supposed to be very serious. I knew that The Simpsons was an adult show, because my mom never let me watch it before. So then one day, she did. It was the first show i had seen that didn't have a laughtrack. i Also didn't understand any of the jokes so i thought it was very serious.

Also, i thought Beavis and Butthead were real, serious names. I had never seen the show, so i thought it was like Regis and Kelly or something! [which i also had never seen]

I used to believe that when you turned off the tv all the people inside on the show you were watching stopped what they were doing and waited until you turned it back on to finish what they were saying.

When I was a kid we used to watch the TV series "Alias Smith and Jones". I was puzzled for years about why they only told you Smith's first name in the title.

When I first heard of the show Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I thought Bel-Air was a foreign country, and the Banks family were royalty.

I didn't understand why the show wasn't doing more to explore those aspects.

I used to think the TV show "The Sopranos" was about opera singers.

i was certain that when the television turned off, the people in the show froze, only to resume when the TV was turned back on. I was forced to turn off "the Incredible Hulk" and come to dinner. Afterwards, my dad turned on the TV when i went to the bathroom. I was furious to discover that the Hulk was over because Dad had turned on the TV without me...

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.
