My folks have a TV that won't turn off with the remote. They can turn it on with the remote, but they have to kill the electricity at the socket in order to make the TV go off. I'll be interested to see what RCA says about this one. I wonder whether your problem is the TV or something with the remote. My neighbors used to have a very sensitive alarm system on their jeep. Every time I used my microwave oven, their alarm went off.

I have seen that one.

The relay driver transistor will sometimes have a failure, that, once triggered, it CANNOT be turned off-except by removing power.

[DollyCali]

That is interesting. I have only received ONE question so far for the "dear abby" next week & that was the essense of the question. why do I pick the same type of person.

Guess a lot of people have that situation in their life

sorry you had more than one "bad pick".. but at least you realize it. so many people truly don't put two & two together

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

We took the batteries out of the remote just to make sure. It didn't resolve the problem. That's when we decided to plug it into something where we could kill the power.

I have yet to meet one person (or child) that really likes a mime. How is it that they continue to exist? Eighth wonder of the world.

I feel that way about half of the shows on TV.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Where did my widdo Phiw go?

[pcottraux]

I was out mime huntin'!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Me too, actually. For years, through almost all of the 90's, I watched almost no TV. Lately, however, I'd have to say that there are some really great exceptions out there. There are some new shows (like in the past several years) that have come out that I will not miss an episode of.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Go get 'um, tiger!

[WFTR]

I like some new shows as well. Most of them are shows that my Mom starts me watching when I'm at home or my folks are here. I'm not always sure that I would enjoy watching them if it hadn't been for Mom. There are other shows that are fun to watch when I'm there or my folks are here, but I wouldn't watch on my own.

[pcottraux]

I hardly watch any TV any more. My life enough drama, I guess. Although I used to watch too much...I guess it got replaced by the internet.

[darkangel82]

Lol, my life has PLENTY of drama.

[pcottraux]

Things are complicated enough without having to worry about who stabbed a man with plastic scissors and figuring out how he did it.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Your life at your job alone would make a GREAT sitcom.

[pcottraux]

Ha ha ha...indeed it would.

Actually, you may often hear me say that my big ambition in life is to succeed as a writer. But part of that is interesting...I've had so many hilarious, funny, insane experiences while working in retail, I'm hoping to some day turn all that into comical writing.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Hey. CSI is one of my FAVORITE shows.

You better check yo-self! *snap* *snap*

[pcottraux]

Lol, okay. Checkin' ma-self.

[WFTR]

I like CSI as well. In some ways, my job used to be that way but I dealt with broken metal instead of dead people.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Yo, what up, gangsta?

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

BMI. Broken Metal Investigation.
