This strip was originally published in 2001. I bought a new TV in 2008 – seven years after this strip first ran – and it had buttons on it, so if the remote didn’t work, you could still use the TV. Then I bought another new TV a couple of years ago. It doesn’t have a single button on it. If the batteries in the remote are dead, the TV is useless. Why do they make TVs like that?
