Whose turn is it, anyway?

Do you experience a little arguement, every now and then, over the use of the "Remote Control"?
I do not consider myself a couch potato, I do not spend days on end watching TV, unless I am bound in bed due to my back problems... Often enough, I multi task while watching TV; I may be working on my laptop, paying bills, cleaning the house, doing craft. I guess, I like to use TV like some people may use the radio, to keep me company, especially when I am home during the day and everyone is either at school or at work. I had found that I cannot just sit and watch, I have to do something... Very seldom I go to the Movies, whenever I go, I enjoy the experience!
Some members of my family are more attached to the TV and/or the remote control, mainly "My Main Man", my husband... I guess it is due to him, out all day working outdoors, he comes home and all he wants to do is watch what he wants to watch! Don't you dare touch that remote... :)
I do not mind that my husband monopolizes the use of the remote control, it is the way he uses it... Come on, hurry it up already... one channel at a time, reading every line of the Comcast TV Guide... please, somebody shoot me! :) I know, I know, patience! :)
Is there a chain of command for the remote control? Is there a schedule? Do we need one?
Are we just silly people who need to grow up and learn to share.
So, in your family, whose turn is it?
