tv shows

I recently confessed to my husband that I used to believe that when I grow up I would marry Superman and that is why I never liked Lois, when later that day told my mom about it she admitted that she didn't like Lois as well.

I used to think that Mr Snuffalupagus really was invisible, and that like Big Bird, I was special and that we were the only ones who could see Snuffy. Of course, now EVERYONE on Sesame Street can see him. I was disappointed when my daughters started watching & I saw that Big Bird's secret was out. It just seemed so much a part of the show AND Big Bird & Snuffy that it sort of spoiled it for me.

When i was young, i used to believe that the credits at the end of t.v. shows and films were the words of the song they would sing at the begin and end of the show.

When I was young, I used to watch Star Trek all the time, and until I was twelve, I thought that when I grew up there really would be transporters and space ships and the world would be just like it was in the show. When I realized that I was not going to go to space and visit other worlds, I was very dissapointed!!!

I thought the television show "Combat" was a dramatization of the same war that was on the evening news, the Vietnam War.

Mick

I thought that on the show "American Chopper" they built helicopters.

I used to beleive that Big Bird's beak was made out of the same stuff birthday cake flowers were made of. Everytime I watched Sesame Street I wanted to take a bite out of his beak!

I used to think the simpsons was the "Simsims"

when i was little i used to watch sesame street as everyone did but i was petrified of the cookie monster and big bird so much so that i would never let any doors or windows be unlocked in the whole house out of fear, needless to say it my parents got pretty annoyed with me when the tempreature was 40 degrees and i demanded all the windows to be closed.

When I was a kid my Grandpa and I would watch "The Lawrence Welk Show" on public television every Saturday night. For some reason, I thought the people who sang on that show just showed up there off of the street and were put on the show. I told everyone that I was going to go on that show when I "grew up".

I used to believe that after my bed time there was no more tv shows left so if you got up in the middle of the night and turned the tv on, it'd just be blank because they ran out of shows at that time of night.

At one point in my youth "That Girl" with Marlo Thomas was on TV right next to Batman. I was a huge Batman fan and for some reason thought Thomas' show was "Bat Girl." I watched that show for what felt like years, waiting for her to turn into Bat Girl.

When I was very young (4 years i think maybe 5) I used to watch Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. I never really liked the show. So one day I was fed up with listening to him. So I went up to the TV and looked at Mr. Rogers and said, "You are stupid". The TV camera zoomed into his face and I thought he was mad at me. I got terrified and ran away and told my mom if the TV man could hear me. She told me no but I didn't believe her. I ran up to the TV and changed the channel quickly so he wouldn't yell at me.

remember the series that used to play on SABC2 on tuesdays-THE X-FILE?When I was eight I used to belief that if i watch it,I will also become one on the people being murdered or those creatures that used to be shown there. Scary stuff

Apparantly, I used to think there was a 'lion' in the 'Eastenders' map at the beggining of the show.

My mum says I used to scream 'LION! LION!!' Even though they could never see what I was talking about.

No idea either, looking at it now (though it could have been my early TV critic trying to tell my parents that Eastenders is the worst soap ever written).

I used to have a terrible fear of the noise made by the magpies in the 'Bananas in Pajamas' show. It got so bad that I would lay awake at night and when I got tired enough I swore they were walking around outside my window. I still believe those things are demon birds.

I used to watch fishing shows with my mum and I thought the fishermen on the show were so good that they always caught fish every time they cast their lines! It wasn't until muuuch later that I realized they just cut out all the footage where they didn't catch anything.

I used to think princesses are only in TV shows

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.
