Around here we have a constant struggle for TV rights; who gets to watch TV on the flat screen in the living room. Some where along the lines the kids came up with the rule that if they all 3 cannot agree on a program that the TV must go off. I have no idea where they came up with that rule (certainly not from me yelling in sheer frustration "If you don't stop arguing the stupid thing is going OFF!!) We have 4 televisions in this house, and yet they still feel the need to argue!
But when Palmer comes home? All that stops! Why? Because dad is the king of the remote. Dad doesn't give a flying leap if you are desperate to find out if Hannah Montana will make it through her latest escapade, that remote, and thus Ultimate Power, belong to him.
All electronics fall under his jurisdiction.
Including headphones and ear buds. Palmer goes through them at an amazing rate, so he is always claiming other peoples. Last night he even claimed the last pair I had in the car dvd case! He goes thorough roughly a pair a month, because he tends to leave them laying around where Izzy can find them. And once Izzy gets a hold of a pair of headphones , they are done for! He pulls ear pieces off like other kids pull off wings on bugs. The rest of us have learned to hide our headphones from both Palmer and Izzy.
I've just learned to DVR what I want to watch then watch it later when they are all gone to school and work.
I think that makes me the winner in this battle!

Oh, man. Around here, Miss Maggie thinks she has final say on the television. My only rule is that if someone is watching (and actually sitting there watching it) that no one can change the channel until the show is over. I even make Mike adhere to that one. Kate and Ethan used to argue over the television a lot but they seem to have out grown it. Thankfully.
