Remote Control was a rapid-fire early-evening game show in
which three college-age kids tried to gain control of the
remote by answering questions on pop culture trivia. The
funky setting was host Ken Ober's parents' basement at 72
Whooping Cough Lane, complete with lounge chairs, a
worn-out couch, refrigerator, bowls of popcorn, and a huge
television set. Losers suffered the indignity of suddenly
being whisked completely out of sight, chair and all.
