tv shows

When I was a kid, there was a show called Romper Room. The host of the show, I think Miss Molly, would look through her hand held mirror and say who she saw...meaning she said kid's name she saw through the mirror. I waited and waited..and watched that show all the time...and she NEVER said my name!

Romber Bomper Stomper Doo
Tell me Tell me Tell me Doo
Magic Mirror tell me today
Have all my friends have fun at play
I see....(this is when she would say the kid's names)

i usd to think that Julia-Louise Dreyfuss (Seinfeld) was married to Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws,etc.).

My sister informed me that Eastenders was filmed in the West end and that it was just called "Eastenders" I argued the point but lost, so I spent a number of years under this apprehension, before ridiculing myself in front of some friends by trying to justify my knowledge.....sister eh!

I thought the women in Prisoner Cell Block H were actresses banged up in prison themselves.

when i was little, whenever we watched stars in your eyes, i used to think they'd send someone through the lights and the smoke, and send the real singer back out, and i used to shout at the tv that they were cheating, i also thought that everything on telly was live!

When I was little, I used to believe that Mr. Rogers was actually a monster and he would eat you if you weren't his neighbor. I always got freaked out because I didn't know where he lived.

ohno!!!

When i was 5 I watched 'Puzzle Place' that show with all the puppets. I really did think everytime they did the opening music, the puppet, Ben was looking right at me, i used to have a huge crush.

Even told my parents, "When i'm older, i am going to New York to Marry Ben!"
Imagine how i felt when my parents told me, he was only a puppet.

when i was 6 i didnt know that tv shows had laugh tracks and live audiences,so i used to think the laughter during a show was actually people at home watching tv .One day i put on golden girls and yelled hi to my grandma into the tv speakers because i knew she would be watching.

I thought "make believe" in Mr. Rogers was "maple leaf".

When I was little, I watched Pokemon obsessively. (I still love Pokemon to this day, though I'm not a fan of the 4kids dub...) Well, at the end of season one, they had a Pokerap, where they would rap the names of the Pokemon... I was so little, I didn't even know what rap meant, and I thought they said "Wrap". I pictured guys going around in a jeep wrapping any pokemon they see in tinfoil!

When i was about 5 my grandparents were big fans of the show "The Young and The Restless" which is a soap opera.

Well, i used to get annoyed because i wanted to watch cartoons and they just had to watch "The Young and The Rest Of Us"

For the longest time I thought 90210 was a sitcom

I used to believe that the girls on the TV show HEE HAW stuffed their shirts with big brown bowls, because nobody could have perfectly rounded tan boobs like they had.

When I was little I used to watch Captain Kangaroo and my favorite part was when they had the artist on. They had a TV trick where he would take a paint brush and run it across the paper and it would "paint" a real life scene on the paper. I remember asking my Mom to buy me a paint brush like that and I got really upset when she told me it was only a TV trick. But of course I didn't believe her, I mean why would the good ole' Captain use tricks? ;)

I thought that every TV show was filed live, and I always wondered why they never messed up.

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

My dad would always watch the show Cops, while I would watch with him. Since most of the people on the show were black, it led me to believe every black person was a criminal. Whenever I saw a black person on the street, I would start singind the Cops theme song. Needless to saw, my mom wasn't to thrilled.

As a kid, I thought that the character Kimiko Tohomiko from Xiaolin Showdown's name was Chemical.

Chase Young Fangirl

When I was very young I watched Doctor Who. The daleks scared me half
to death, and because of their shape I associated them with garbage cans.
Whenever I saw a black garbage can I would scream and run away.

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.
