Editing Remote Control (game show) (section)

==Set==
''Remote Control'' was taped in a Manhattan television studio set up to resemble a basement, complete with a washer and dryer, water heater, bric-a-brac, and a giant [[Pez dispenser]] that resembled [[Bob Eubanks]].

The basement set was a mainstay of the show throughout its run; however, its decor was "rearranged" slightly every season. The contestants sat in leather [[La-Z-Boy]] recliners with seat belts,<ref name=therecord /> complete with retro kidney-shaped tables and scoreboards, facing host Ober and his retro-styled [[Zenith Electronics|Zenith]] television. Behind Ober were framed portraits of his idols, game show hosts Eubanks, [[Bob Barker]], [[Bill Cullen]], [[Bert Convy]], [[Monty Hall]], and [[Tom Kennedy (television host)|Tom Kennedy]].<ref name="therecord">{{cite news|title=MTV's Antidote to Vanna and Friends|last=Duffy|first=Mike|date=31 March 1988|newspaper=[[The Record (Bergen County)]]|page=e17}}</ref> Musician Steve Treccase set up his keyboard behind a cluttered bar, at which Quinn and the hostess usually sat for the duration of the show. More clutter could be found around and behind the audience, very frequently including props used in previous seasons. Finally, the contestants' chairs were placed in front of breakaway walls, through which they were unmercifully pulled if they were eliminated.
