(BONG! [61] Sheldon's light shines)
ME: Hey, it's Sheldon!
SHELDON: That's Beavis and Butt-head!
ME: Welcome to the game, that's right! (Applause as Steve goes to his soundboard, presses some buttons, and out comes clips of Beavis saying "YEAH! YEAH! FIRE! FIRE!") Oh, man, Steve! You sure know how to make me crack up. Got any other B&B sounds?
STEVE: Just one other. (He presses a button. It's Butt-head saying "Uhhhh...no.")
ME: That would be good for a wrong answer. In any event, Sheldon, you have 5. Matt has 15, James has 10. You have the remote. You may stick with MTV, go back to any previously-played channel other than 7, or change to a new channel. Where are we going?
(Sheldon picks up his remote...)

Sticking with Channel One: MTV. For 10 points...
On an episode of "Rob and Big," Rob's bodyguard, Big Black, set two Guinness World Records by eating doughnuts and bananas. Not to be outdone, Rob Dyrdek set 21 Guinness World Records in one day, all using what type of vehicle?

(BONG! [86] Sheldon's light shines)
ME: Sheldon again?
SHELDON: I would hope it's a skateboard, seeing it's his claim to fame.
ME: Hope no more, that's right! (Applause as Steve plays a fanfare) Can I ask you one favor, though?
SHELDON (Reluctantly): Yeah...
ME: Let me do the explanations! That's why I'm the host, geez! (Laughter)
SHELDON: Oh, sorry.
ME: Don't mention it. No, really...don't. Moving on! Sheldon, you're tied for the lead with Matt at 15. James is at 10. Sheldon, you've got control. Want to stick for the 15-pointer, or go somewhere else?

Closing out MTV. For 15 points...
When this long-running fashion show debuted in 1989, Cindy Crawford was its host. Future hosts Rebecca Romijn and Molly Sims became modelling legends in their own right. Name the show.

(BONG! [61] James' light shines)
ME: James?
JAMES: "House of Style"?
ME: That's the show! (Steve plays a fanfare as the audience applauds) With that, you take the lead with 25 points. Matt and Sheldon are tied for second with 15 points apiece. James, you have control and may pick any channel other than 1 and 7. What's your pleasure?
(James picks up his remote...)

(James presses button 2 on his remote. The screen switches back to COLIN'S CORNER.)
ME: Back to Channel Two to close it out! (Audience cheers for Colin) Once again, Colin is going to summarize a movie. Name the movie. For 15 points...Colin, take it away!
COLIN (Speaking normally): "Hey, you wanna see 'Mean Girls' before there was 'Mean Girls'? Then, check out this cult flick! It features a clique of four broads, three of whom have the same first name. How the h*ll do they tell them apart?! (Laughter) It also has two bullies who get the cr*p kicked out of them by Christian Slater and Winona Ryder, who I loved in this movie. I tell ya, Lindsay Lohan ain't got nothing on that babe. Anyway, this high school movie was such a sleeper hit, it became an Off-Broadway musical in 2010! How wild is that?!"
ME: Kind of a long description, but what movie was he talking about?

(BONG! [57] Sheldon's light shines)
ME: Sheldon?
SHELDON: Name so nice you gotta say it... three times? "Heathers"!
ME: Right again! (Steve plays fanfare as audience applauds) Hey, Col, we got a comedian here with Sheldon. What do you think?
COLIN: Timing's a little off, but he's decent. (Laughter)
ME: Your score's pretty decent, too, with 30. Matt is at 15, and James is at 25. Sheldon, you've got the lead and control of the remote. Pick a channel, please. Remember, 1, 2, and 7 are closed.
(Sheldon picks up the remote...)

(Sheldon presses button 3 on his remote...screen displays PRIVATE DICKS again)
ME: Going back to PRIVATE DICKS for this one. For 10 points...
In the 1960s, her father, Efrem, Jr., portrayed Detective Lewis Erskine on "The FBI." In the 1980s, she played Detective Laura Holt opposite a pre-007 Pierce Brosnan on "Remington Steele." Name this third-generation performer.

(BONG! [50] James' light shines) ME: James? JAMES: Stephanie Zimbalist. ME: She's the one! (Steve plays a fanfare as the audience applauds) James, that puts you back in the lead with 35. We have Sheldon in second with 30. We also have Matt trailing with 15. James, you're in control... (Cowboy triangle rings as the Snack Break animation comes on the TV) WESTERN VOICE: COOOOOMMMMME N' GET IT! (Steve begins playing the melody of the theme) ME: No, you're not! That means it's the end of Round One, and it's time for us to take a little Snack Break! Now, I wouldn't be a gracious host if I didn't offer you snacks and drinks, so you're going to get a taste of the South in Midtown Manhattan. Hold up your bowls! (The contestants do so...then, cheese straws fall down. Most land in the bowls. Some land on the contestants' laps, others just hit the floor. Then, Kari passes around mason jars filled with sweet tea, setting them on the TV trays) ME: Enjoy, everyone! We've got Round Two coming up next, and the player who is left standing after all that could go on to win these fabulous prizes!  COLIN: The Casio G-Shock XL Print GDX6900 Digital Watch comes in this cool camo grey design and is shock resistant, water resistant to 200 meters, and features an auto LED super illuminator. Includes world time and stopwatch functions, plus an automatically programmed calendar. KARI: From Razor, the E200 electric scooter is the environmentally-friendly way to get your need for speed. Supports up to 154 pounds on its all-steel frame, and features a high-torque motor, hand operated rear brake, and twist-grip acceleration control to motor up to 12 MPH for up to 40 minutes. COLIN: The Apple iPod Nano holds 16 gigs of your favorite songs and videos. Includes Bluetooth connectivity, Nike+ support, USB cable, Apple EarPods, and a $150 iTunes giftcard. KARI: The Pioneer DEH80PRS CD car stereo receiver includes a LED screen for easy navigation of features. Powerful sound comes in the form of 50 watts peak power and 4 channels. Plus, it's iPod-ready and supports a wide variety of playback formats. All this and more... KARI AND COLIN: WHEN "REMOTE CONTROL" CONTINUES! |

(Steve plays the theme as the camera pans over the contestants enjoying the snacks...assuming they're not throwing them around!)
COLIN: Welcome back to the only show to emanate from someone's basement! Let's rejoin the action of "Remote Control" with our host, Jon Darrall! (Applause)
ME: Thanks, Colin! Here's where we stand at halftime.
SHELDON: 30 points
MATT: 15 points
JAMES: 35 points
ME: Did you guys have fun in the first round?
CONTESTANTS: YEEEEAHHHH!
ME: Wanna play another round?
CONTESTANTS: Oh, yeah!
ME: Good! Besides, I'm contractually obligated to ensure that we play two rounds of this here game. Since the first round was so much fun, we'll play the second round the same way, except that all point values are doubled. Oh, yeah, one other thing. Since we double the points, what else doubles, Kari?
KARI: The danger!
ME: That's right! (Steve plays a suspenseful note) When the TV goes "Off The Air," I'll have to kick out the one of you who has the lowest score. Simply put, don't be that player, because it's mighty cold outside right now. (Laughter) In any case, JAMES, you gave the last right answer, so you retain control. The TV's got nine new channels, so fire away, buddy!
(James picks up his remote...)

(James presses button 1 on his remote) ME: Channel One, a good place to start. Behind there...  ME: ...SUNDAY NIGHT TV! (Steve plays a few bars of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" on his guitar) Ah, yes...nothing like some of the finest shows in TV history to remind us that our weekend is almost over, and that we'll all have to return to our jobs or school in the morning (audience boos). These questions are about the shows that have typically aired on Sunday nights. For 10 points... Long before he was a Hollywood golden boy, Johnny Depp starred on this early FOX TV hit with Dom DeLuise's son. They played youthful undercover cops blending in to the high school scene. Name this show. |

(BONG! [75] James' light shines)
ME: And, it's James!
JAMES: "21 Jump Street."
ME: Right you are! (Applause with Steve's fanfare) Nicely done, and you are up to 45 points, expanding your lead. Do you want to stick with that channel, or switch to another one?
(James picks up his remote...)

ME: Sticking with SUNDAY NIGHT TV. For 20 points...
From 1948 to 1971, families made this "really big shoe" appointment viewing on Sunday nights. Performances by Elvis, The Beatles, The Supremes, and The Rolling Stones helped make this variety show an American icon, even though its host was Canadian. Name the program.

(BONG! [90] Matt's lamp illuminates)
ME: Matt!
MATT: "The Ed Sullivan Show."
ME: (Impersonating Ed) Yes, sir, youngster! (Steve plays a fanfare as the audience applauds) Marc Summers isn't the only one who can do that impression! Look what you did, Matt! You've made this game really close. 30 for Sheldon, 35 for Matt, and 45 for James. Matt, you have control. Are you going to stick or switch?
(Matt picks up his remote...)

ME: Closing out Channel One. For 30 points, then...
Over the 17 years that this show has aired on Sunday nights, its title character has been played by relatives named Pal, Spook, Mire, Baby, and Hey Hey. Their relatives still play the character. Name this beloved character, and you've named the show.

(BONG! [30] Sheldon's lamp shines)
ME: Sheldon!
SHELDON: It's Lassie!
ME: Correct! (Steve plays a fanfare as the crowd applauds) Interesting little note here: although Lassie was always referred to as a girl on TV, Lassie was ALWAYS played by a male dog. The current performer of Lassie is, I think, from the tenth generation of the original Lassie, who was played by Pal. Sheldon, look at that! You're back in the lead with 60! James has 45, and Matt has 35. Nice game so far. Sheldon, you have the remote, and Channel One is closed. Pick any other channel.
(Sheldon takes his remote...)

Post by jmdarrall on Feb 19, 2016 11:49:26 GMT -5
(Sheldon presses button 9 on his remote) ME: Going to Channel Nine, which is...  ME: ..."M*A*S*H*"! (Audience applauds as Steve plays a few notes of "Suicide Is Painless") PTSD? Shellshock? This series never heard of it! These questions are about the long-running show that proved that war can be hilarious. For 10 points... The main characters on "M*A*S*H*" represented a wide variety of backgrounds and hometowns. Yet, the only two regular characters to share a hometown were Trapper John MacIntyre and Major Charles Winchester, both of whom hailed from what Northeastern city? |

(Sheldon and Matt look stumped...BONG! James' light shines)
ME: James?
JAMES (In a thick New England accent): Boston!
ME: Pahk yah cah in Hahvahd Yahd! That's right! (Applause applauds as Steve plays a fanfare) We'll even forgive the poorly-done accents around here. James, you have 55, just 5 points off the lead. Where are we going?
(James picks up his remote...)

(James presses button 2 on his remote) ME: Switching over to Channel Two, which is...  ME: ...MUSIC VIDEOS! (Audience and contestant applaud as Steve plays "Video Killed the Radio Star" on his keyboard) Yes, we pay tribute to the phenomenon that proved that you no longer have to have vocal pipes to be considered a good singer (laughter). Or, it could prove that if you look good and sing good, you can go far! Questions about music videos, past or present. Here we go for 10 points... What Oscar-winning actor supplemented his income by jamming with Carly Rae Jepsen in her 2015 music video "I Really Like You"? |
