Brady Physics

[edit]

Note: Brady Physics and Brady Metaphysics were two separate channels (Metaphysics being a spinoff of the first).

Note: The above note is balderdash. Where's your proof, 24.215.152.72? (HairMetalLives 02:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

You are mistaken here, HML. The channel featured questions along the lines of "If Alice woke up one day with the same powers as God, could she create a kitchen so messy that she herself could not clean it?"

Also, "Brady Physics" is already mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

I'm blind and I apologise. Thank you, though, for going more indepth in your description in the article. (HairMetalLives 05:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Number of seasons

[edit]

Question: Forgive my ignorance of television schedules, but how can a show "run for 5 seasons" between 1987 and 1990?

Good Question. Does that need to be changed? Also, Under the description of "Beat the Bishop", what exactly is a "Vatican" Bishop? I know it's a minor point, but shouldn't this say "Catholic" bishop? I seem to remember a version of this called "Beat the Rabbi", wherein the contestant had to answer the question before Adam Sandler, dressed as a Rabbi, returned from taking yarmulkes off the heads of members of the audience. Should a mention be made of that as well? westmt01 31 July 06

Remote Control did in fact run for five seasons. The first aired from December, 1987 through the Spring of 1988. The second season aired from Spring, 1988 through late Winter, 1989. Season three aired from February/March, 1989 through the fall of 1989. Season four aired from the fall of 1989 through early 1990. The final season ran from early 1990 to August, 1990. And you're not ignorant, whoever posed this question. It's a good question. Also, there was a "Race the Rabbi" category, but it was John Ten Eyck dressed as the Rabbi.

Errors

[edit]

I notice that the first paragraph in this article is nearly incomprehensible. Television shows don't "walk," and can't have been on for 5,000 seasons, because television hasn't existed that long. Television shows don't have teleportation technology, either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.139.1 (talk) 02:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ken Ober

[edit]

The host, Ken Ober died on November 15, 2009. Perhaps the article needs to be updated to reflect that? It's updated on his personal page but seeing how he ran Remote Control it pertains to the entry... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.169.84 (talk) 19:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
