Parents Television Council

A website that I use to determine which shows are the best. The shows that the PTC whines the most about are clearly worth watching, and the ones that they give their seal of approval to are to be avoided at all costs.

They are currently ranked 'World-Class' in their whining abilities.
So, Parents Television Council, why do you whine about shows that are on at 9pm, when kids have already gone to sleep? Why do you have such an unhealthy obsession with Seth MacFarlane?

Mankind's greatest and worst achievement.
I looked at an educational program and then watched Pimp My Ride.

Tantric Television

The principle of maximizing the pleasure of a new television series, by delaying the immediate and empty gratification of single episodes, building to a climax when the season can be enjoyed in its entirety.
I've been abstaining for months from the new season of Mad Men so when the box set is out I can practice my Tantric Television on the couch with the girlfriend.

Television Audience Laugh

A Television Audience Laugh (TAL) happens when someone makes a joke, gets no laughs from the people currently in the room but from the studio audience on the sitcom on the TV.
I made a joke one day and the Television Audience laughed for me.

Unemployment Television

Definition.

The name given to the hours of tv when no one should be watching, namely 3am.

Obviously the name derives from the fact that anyone with a job or someone who attends school should be asleep and not watching the garbage that permeates the airways at these hours.

An interesting note to make is that during these hours, the likelihood of an error happening with a broadcast signal is infinitely more likely to happen.

First used by Rebeltaxi in his video “Top 10 Worst Animated Songs”

television

The early 21st century drug of choice. A shared illusion, making its addicts think they have friends, a life, access to good information, and the critical thinking skills to form valid opinions. Fatal in large doses.
Paul spent the day eating Cheetos and watching Television, then had a light heart attack in the evening.

Black Entertainment Television

Also known as Black Exploitation Television. A poor representation of Black people in society; a glorification of big booties, gold teeth, tha projects and crack heads, pimps and hoes, and relentless violence. An utter disgrace, but it sells.
