Editing Remote Control (game show) (section)

===Categories/Channels===
Many categories dealt with specific television shows, characters, or genres. Others focused on topics such as celebrities, trivia, and commercials. Categories fell into one of the following general types.
* Standard: humorously worded questions asked by Ober
* Performance-based: questions based on skits or songs acted out by one or more supporting cast members.
* One-time use: a single question or chance to score points, often involving a survey or comedy performance, such as "Sing Along with Colin", where Colin Quinn would begin a few lines of a song and the contestant needed to correctly add the last line to score the points.
* Beat the clock: Often worded as "Beat the Baloney" or "Beat the Bishop", a character dressed in costume would make his way through the audience while the contestant was assigned a math problem. Correctly answering the problem before the character circumambulated the studio would earn points.
* Penalty: a channel that resulted in a hidden message where the contestant would be assessed a penalty. Often done as "Wheel of Torture", where the contestant would be given the option to forgo the torture for a penalty or be awarded points if they endured a schoolyard-type torture from Colin Quinn, such as "Charley Horse", "Noogie", "Purple Nurple" or "Wet Willy". (If a female contestant did this and was selected for "Purple Nurple", the wheel was re-spun.)

[[MTV]] was always one of the available channels, and presented questions associated with music and music videos.
