As I was contemplating the great dark screen in the living room yesterday I asked myself how we had gotten to the point where the TV has no off/on button ON the TV. It is dependent upon a remote which has gone into seclusion somewhere in the aforesaid room. It’s nuts.
Lazy society….I remember we only had 3 channels, no remote and it went off early…playing the Star Spangled Banner, with Old Glory flying in the wind……then the test pattern humming……
My tv has only the power button. I wouldn’t mind if it had the buttons to allow me to use it even without a remote. I do get up out of the chair from time to time.

She had it the whole time you were together. Why would she part with it now?

Adapt. Overcome. Move on. Buy a universal one at Walmart.

If he’s too dumb to get a universal remote he deserves a blank screen.

The cell phone universal remote’s only working button is the power switch.
