* In the original ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S3/E01 ~~Spocks~~ Brain|Spock's Brain]]", Spock's brainless body is hooked up to a remote with perhaps twelve buttons that allows the operator to cause Spock to walk, turn, and (somehow) grab the antagonist's arms and deactivate her wrist control (itself a sort of Handy Remote Control).

* Al's handheld device in ''[[Quantum Leap]].''

* The original ''[[Mission Impossible]]'' television series abounds with these, containing a single pushbutton, which can cause whatever action is next called for in the plot. So common that it's one of the stock shots that appears in the closing credits of many eps. Barney also rigged entire cars for remote control and drove them under pretty tough routes, at least once per season; sometimes with people inside, sometimes not.

* SG teams in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' and ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' routinely use remote detonators with their bricks of C4. These became a substantial plot point in one or two episodes, such as the incident where the Atlantis team rigged a Wraith base to explode, then talked their way out by brandishing the remote detonator. They left the detonator in the base with the guy who had been stuck in the [[Face Heel Revolving Door]] for a couple episodes, and [[Redemption Equals Death|he activated it as soon as the Atlantis team was clear]].

* One of the opening sequences to ''[[News Radio]]'' showed [[Conspiracy Theorist|Joe]] using a small device to force a traffic light to change.
