I've Just seen my granddaughter on TV

Aww that's so cute! You must feel very proud. As a matter of fact I do know people in my family that have been on TV before. My uncle and his son (my cousin) were chosen to film a commercial in Taiwan (this was quite a few years ago, so I don't remember what exactly the commercial was about). The same cousin was also on this TV show in Taiwan where basically the hosts brought out three people who supposedly did extraordinary things, and the celebrity guests were supposed to guess who is real and who was fake. Back then, there were two fakes and one person was real (now it's one fake and two real). My cousin was on as one of the fakes. He was only 6 years old, and they told the celebrities that he could eat 6 hamburgers in one go! I watched the tape afterwards, it was quite funny. If anybody has heard of the Guess Guess show, that was the one he was on. And if any of you know who SHE are (a girl band in Taiwan), they were co-hosting that particular episode so my cousin got to meet them! I was a bit jealous, they're not my favourite singers but it's rare to meet celebrities.

That is great and congrats to you. A little superstar in the making. How cool is that to see here on the set while you were out shopping. I sing and yes, I have been on local television a couple of times. I also have had the opportunity to host my own television show for four years. It was communuty access, but it was fun.

thats so cool that you saw her on tv. i remember when i was little, i was in a parade and my parents took tons of pictures of me! my daughters havent really done anything like that but oh well...

How cool! My son has been on television before, but just for a few seconds. He was on the Channel 5 news in St. Louis a few years ago with my sister and one of her friends.

Congratulations, Gran! I laughed thinking about the skeptical store clerk! My son was recently on a quiz show on our PBS station as an alternate. While he wasn't in the competition, they did show a still of him announcing his name. He has appeared in the background at other events. We have a local access channel that plays musical concerts and programs from our county schools so I have seen my children on that many times. My husband has been seen on this channel also at local government meetings. A major international news event was linked to our hometown in which my husband was the spokesperson for the local family (he's the newspaper editor). He gave statements with national and international media for them. A French camera crew followed him around one day at the office. They did a French news special on how these incidents were affecting small town America. They sent us a copy. It was really amusing hearing my husband dubbed in French. When I was younger, my older brother was interviewed for the local news program. It was a feature on him. He is blind and is a musician (organ and piano). It was really neat. I have a copy somewhere on VHS. My younger brother managed a credit counselling center in my hometown. He was used quite frequently on the local news as their credit expert in financial segments. I had an English teacher in HS who was a weekend actor in the local theater. He got a job for awhile as the "Ole Taco" restaurant spokesperson. He did a few other commercials that were shot in Chicago.

Wow! You must be very proud of your granddaughter. That really is a big achievement for such a little girl. I hope you can get to record it when it comes on and put a link up to show us all. I am so pleased for you and her of course. A little star. One of my daughters was on television on her thirteenth Birthday. She wrote a poem for the victims of September 11th and President Bush was visiting Belfast and she got to read it out to him and everyone else of course. She was in the News papers and on the Radio also. Her poem was publised in a childrens poetry book that I have a few copies off. It really makes you so proud when we see our Children doing well. I think this gives them confidence also and they also get experience that helps them grow.

how proud you must be. congraulations!! i have never had anyone but if it was my grandchild i'd be popping the buttons off my shirt.

Awww that's so cute. I'm sure you're really delighted to see your lovely granddaughter on television. I don't have any relatives on tv but sometimes I see a friend or just someone I know and that gets me excited already! So I could just imagine that excitement times 10 is probably what you felt. :) By the way, just out of curiosity, did your granddaughter get paid?

Hey cynthiann! That's really so great! You must be so proud! I'll be that was such a surprise to see your granddaughter on the tv! How fun is that? Now you can watch tv and wait to see the commericial again! How many people do you know that are actually waiting to see a commercial! That's how alot of actors got started! They were doing commercials so you never know!

Hi there cynthiann Wow how cool. I don't know anyone that has ever been in an advert, not that I can think of anyway. I must just say that I am so glad that you have such a good relationship with your ex-daughter-in-law and your grandduaghter. Sometimes what happens in relationship breakups is that the other family doesn't get to see the children. It has happened to my brother and we don't get to see his kids at. He was a great father to those kids, she has just made things so difficult for him and us to see them though there has been a time when he got to see them every weekend because she had a fella and wanted my brother to look after them. When that relationship split up she went back to making it difficult for him again! So I am so happy everything is good for you and your family!

That's amazing; it's a wonderful thing for a child to get that kind of experience, and it could be the start of a well paid, exceptionally exciting career in the television for her if that's the path that she wishes to follow. Even if not, the experience at this age can look great on her CV when she is older, and when she is applying for schools or colleges. I have been on Songs of Praise, but that's about it, but my Father is a radio presenter and a couple of my cousins were on television when they were younger (my Dad organised it as he had been asked to help with a documentary programme)

Hey cynthiann: How wonderful!! Congrats to you!!! Oh I bet you were just as excited as could be and why not right? I hope you are able to get a copy of her on TV for yourself on VCR or some sort of DVD to have as a keepsake!!! Its great too that you are still very close with your ex-daughter in law, I hope it lasts forever for your sake and the little girl!!! thanks for sharing your great news!!!

Oh that is so sweet. If my son could be on a commercial i would totally let him. It would be just adorable.

Wow you've just seen your daughter on tv! That so great to hear!! I had my brother once on TV he was interviewed about their company.

Congratulations. cynthiann, it must have made you proud to see your grand daughter on TV. And thanks for sharing your happiness with us. Have a great DAy
