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.

Get the Unemployment Television mug.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.

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.

Get the television mug.A conservative organization that monitors the content of television shows in order to determine which ones are okay to let their children watch.
