Remote Control (game show)

Off The Air

After round two, a siren would go off and the lights would dim on and off. That signalled that the lowest-scoring player had to go "Off The Air," or in other words, be eliminated from further play. Contestants exited the stage in a variety of ways, ranging from being pulled back in your recliner through a trick wall or wall paper to being lifted up and out of the room! When a person exited, the audience would sing a song about leaving, typically "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," "Hit the Road Jack," or "Get Off My Show" (to the tune of "Get Off My Cloud"). In case of a tie, no player was thrown off the air and all three contestants would advance to the next round. This rarely happened in the show's history. Also, as a contestant with the lowest score in round 2 went Off The Air, he/she would be tormented by various annoyances behind the contestant whilst they were screaming. The "Off The Air" ejections were probably one of the reasons this show was popular.
