Anyone else learn to behave as a child from watching TV?

Did anyone else spend their childhood not only being raised by television, but also learning how to behave/act through watching TV and imitating the characters and phrases you saw/heard on various shows, or was that literally just me growing up as a socially awkward, intelligent, and rebellious child?

Looking back to my own childhood, it's very clear to me that my younger days of television watching were more impactful on my life than I would've thought when I was younger. From the days where I'd come home from school to watch a little bit of TV before logging onto the family Windows 7 laptop before I had to do my homework at 7 pm to when I'd watch some more TV right before going to bed and the times when little childhood insomniac me would sometimes wake up randomly in the middle of the night for no reason (sometimes for several nights in a row), I'd always find the remote and find something to watch on TV. 

However, it seems that certain shows in particular (such as the ones I'd watch on TeenNick in its glory days between its regular daytime sitcoms and the cartoons that were on their 90's Are All That block in the evenings) played the biggest role in shaping the way I grew up and possibly a lot of other things (such as perhaps a pretty good chunk of my taste in fashion) related to how I am now as a young adult.

As a kid, I'd often try to act out how children's show characters were behaving, such as trying to turn into a fairy like I saw in Winx Club (spoiler alert: I never did get to grow myself a pair of wings or gain the ability to shoot beams from my hands) or acting like a teenager (and wanting be one so badly) like what I saw in Zoey 101. Seriously, I was obsessed with shows that featured fairies, teenagers, or even both as a young girl, so much so to the point where a lot of my daydreams during the middle of class would revolve around such themes (yes, I did get in trouble quite a lot for daydreaming while I was supposed to be doing my work or paying attention to what the teacher was saying, but nobody ever said being a creative child with a strong imagination was going to be easy). I was always a highly observant and imaginative child. I was like the roboparents from Invader Zim upon GIR changing the channel and exposing them to a bunch of random shows and commercials instead of the educational programming they were supposed to be watching. It was very much a "monkey see, monkey do" sort of thing, except with television instead of the people I attended school with. Additionally, I'd frequently quote the things (mainly funny catchphrases or just random things) I heard from episodes I'd see the previous night.

And it wasn't just television shows that I'd learn from either. Commercials (especially those on TeenNick), Adobe Flash games, and even YouTube for that matter.

I was the girl who wore deodorant (Pink Crush Teen Spirit by Lady Speed Stick, still my beloved and go to deodorant to this day a decade later), wore makeup (various colors of lipstick, eyeshadow, and sometimes blush), and wore heeled shoes (I seriously thought my plastic pink Disney Princess heels made me feel so grown up) before any of her fellow classmates did. In a sense, I ended up being prematurely "mature" even before a classmate that was undergoing precocious puberty was doing the things I was as a 7 year old in the 2nd grade.

Of course, I did spend a large chunk of my childhood being ostracized and even bullied by many of my classmates like the little freakazoid I was (and still am), which of course played a major role in me imitating the people and moving drawings I saw on television to attempt to blend in with the humans in the first place (although this seems to have just alienated me even further, ironically enough), in addition to the fact that whenever I get interested in something, it always becomes an obsession and that I simply cannot just take a shallow interest in something without wanting to dive deep into it the way that pathetic humans do.

As I've gotten older, I eventually learned how to properly speak to the humans, yet I've also managed to avoid repressing myself and my eccentric lifestyle and personality at the same time, even in spite of society encouraging me to back down and fall in line with the conformist sheep of this stupid and diseased modern world. And I can thank the fact that I grew up watching a lot of reruns of shows from the 90s and 2000s between channels like Boomerang, TeenNick, and even Disney Channel if I woke up early enough in the morning (along with other things, of course) for my sense of style, my taste in music, and just my overall interest in the 90s and 2000s in general and their impacts on me throughout my development couldn't be any clearer. These shows have all stuck with me to this very day, even the ones I'd occasionally see on late night/early morning programming targeted at adults such as Nick@Nite and Adult Swim to some extent.

Anyone else have a similar experience with their childhood?
