I never thought mine took much notice of the TV as Mitzi has never repeated anything she has heard on TV but a soap was on and one of the characters said: "I love you, please tell me that you feel the same".
Mitzi immediately said: "I love you too"
I couldn't believe my ears! She has never said that before in her life let alone know what the correct response was!

That is really cool. Manzi listens to the TV because when phones ring on TV he usually answers "Hello." I watch animal planet and Manzi repeats quite a bit of the animal noises he hears.

That is too funny that Mitzy knew the correct response.

Oh yes Mitzi says hello when the phone rings on TV. She just never repeats anything she hears on TV.
Interestingly she also says hello if she hears a dial-up modem. Maybe she somehow associates it with communication and therefore thinks it it requires a "hello".
