Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?!


Question: Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV!?
Answers:
For the same reason that you get a pair of pants!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

When you are speaking about these things the movie is not necessarly playing therefore your "in" the movie you can not be "on" the movie!. When your talking about TV the show or program your in is usually on at a relevernt time therefore your "on" tv tonight or whenever - it all to do when the relevent thing is showingWww@Enter-QA@Com

Hmmm not sure, good question though!.

Here is my stab at it!.

I believe you are "IN" a movie because, your name is listed IN the credits so I think thats how IN got tagged to that!.!.!. not sure!.

HOWEVER, I am relatively certain about this because TV "airs" and when a live broadcast is airing, the term we use around the station is "on air" so I think you are "ON" tv because you are ON airtime!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You are a Movie or Television Series, as in saying you are in the cast!.

You are on Television or on the Silver Screen, as in on that type or screen!.

That is it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Ok i had to read your question several times but i think i understand it now and it actually does sound funny i guess it's just one of those flaws in our languageWww@Enter-QA@Com

Television shows films quite often, so the film I'm in must be showing on TV that day!. Yay!!! I get the best of both worlds, The big screen and TV too!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

if you said 'in tv' then you would think someone was literally inside the television set!. if someone said 'on a movie' they might think that you ment someone was on top of a dvd!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
