In a related scenario, I recall an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show in which Laura was worried that their marriage license wasn't valid because (she confessed to Rob for the first time) she lied about her age when they wed, and said she was 18. Rob says that's okay, honey, a lot of women lie about their age to seem younger. But no, she admitted that she had actually been only 16. Rob was shocked, but they'd already been married for years by then. If I recall correctly, they met when Laura was a dancer on a show Rob worked on.
The premier episode of the Outer Limits ("The Galaxy Being") caused me to run away from home. I was almost five years old. My mom was out shopping with my brother, and my dad fell asleep. The show on TV was so scary, I grabbed my favorite toy and blanket and headed down the street. A neighbor brought me back home, and that was when I learned how to turn the TV on and off.
