So, you finally got that ginormous big screen TV you've been drooling all over for Christmas. And that awesome network enabled Blu-ray player. After a weekend in wiring hell, you've finally got it all hooked up with your antenna, network cables, Xbox, PS3, the cable or satellite box, surround sound system and DVR. And here's what you've got sitting on the arm of your La-Z-Boy recliner: 7 remote controls that completely won't get along, much like your totally dysfunctional family on Thanksgiving. Everybody hates you, and it's all your fault. The only time they even talk to you is when they want to change the channel - because you're the only one that knows exactly which remote does what.

Fear not, for the solution to your woes is as near as your favorite electronics or discount store, or or online retailer. It's a universal remote control, and it can cost you less than $20 for a basic learning remote up to several hundreds of dollars for a remote that will do everything but mow your lawn.

But before you rush out and buy something, here's a few things you should know...

Red Green “The Wit and Wisdom Tour” live show Review

Sunday evening 05/23/10 I attended Red Green’s live show at the Highline Performing Arts Center, just south of Seattle in Burien, Washington. The theater which is adjacent to Highline High School holds 794 and I counted 3 vacant seats. The crowd was about 2/3 men, 1/3 women and teenagers. At least 10 men were dressed exactly like Red Green with the same style hat, suspenders and pants. Many of the men in the audience wore clothing similar to what the Possum Lodge members wore in the television series: beige or blue pants, plaid shirts and suspenders and others wore red and green including the man sitting next to me.

For readers unfamiliar with the Red Green show, it was a unique half-hour comedy television show produced by CBC Television (Canada) from 1991 to 2006. Three hundred episodes were produced and it has been carried on PBS channels continually since it was first aired. In 2002 they produced a full length movie titled Duct Tape Forever, which received mixed reviews (personally, I enjoyed it). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286915/
