> On the shows they would sometimes hang up the phone, then somebody else picked up a receiver and the call continued?? Phones don't work like that!

Well, a few decades ago (80s-90s), at least, landlines sure did work like that in Australia, if you were the one who received the call. I played around with that a lot as a kid. Maybe you just tried it on calls you initiated?
