What are some movies where people think television is real life?

I was watching a tv program where a young girl thought that the Brady Bunch was a real family in a real house. She wished she was part of their family. Then she found out that the Brady Bunch is all actors on a tv set, and was very disappointed. I know I've seen movies with similar themes, but cannot think of any off hand. Can anyone name some movies where the people in the movie think that a television show is real life and don't realize that the television show is staged?

1. The Truman Show: Someone is brought up in a televised environment and doesn't know it isn't reality. The Cable Guy: A man is basically brought up by television and can't differentiate between what is and isn't acceptable in the real world. Pleasantville: A brother and sister become trapped in a Happy Days-esque TV show
2. Off the top of my head, the first to come to mind is "Splash" with Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah. She is watching some cop show and is very upset because "one man killed another man in the street." He then needed to explain the situation. Hope that helps!
