I told her tonight, that It wasnt so much that I wanted to the t.v, as much as it was the fact that she is ALWAYS watching it! Ill see how it goes this week and report back.
I think I will do a simple poll of her t.v. watching time. Like take a count of the hours she has it on, versus the hours I get to have it on, and show her how she watches it WAY more than I do.

If you simply want to be right at any cost, this will work great. This plan WILL start a fight. All this will accomplish is telling her she's wrong, and you're right.
An even better plan is to bury a hammer right in the middle of the screen and then there will never be a show on that she doesn't like.
Honestly, I had the same fight w/ my ex-wife over watching racing. I looked at her and said "You watch whatever the hell you want all day.. every day. I ask for the TV for 3 hours on one day a week, and you get pissed? I'm watching my race." While it worked, every Sunday, she was angry and resentful.
Perhaps the best solution would simply be to discuss this w/ her like an adult, and when she says that you are trying to start a fight, ask her why it needs to be a fight? Remain calm and rational no matter how weird she gets about it. She can be angry all she wants, but if you won't fight back, it can't really be a fight.
I'm thinking you guys have much deeper problems than who controls the remote.
