When a television channel specializing in one type of programming replaces that programming in favor of new shows, usually reality show knockoffs, in order to pander to an "edgier" and "hipper" audience, thus alienating it's core audience. Usually ends with horrible ratings.

The Byrd Effect - A phenomenon surrounding internet news message boards wherein parties related or known to a perpetrator of a crime or person otherwise at fault in a situation will post rambling long-winded digressions and excuses for the behavior of their friend or relative.
Frequently involve use of poor grammar and punctuation, insults, and attempts at virtual psychoanalysis of other critical posters. Also, may include unsubstantiated allegations of media or authoritative subterfuge and claims of knowing vital perspective altering information, which is inexplicably never shared.

I can't believe that the family member resorted to the Byrd Effect in their reply to the message board.

The fact that everyone will always hate where they live and say it is the worst. usually describes states but can be applied to schools, countries and towns. Derived from the fact that everyone born into Connecticut thinks anywhere would be better, which is in fact not true.
1. she wanted to switch highschools because she thinks hers is the worst in the world. Clearly she's been hit by the connecticut effect.
2. the activist told me he hates living in the USA and that he would be happier almost anywhere else. I see the connecticut effect.

A bizarre sliding scale phenomenon where the opposite sex becomes more desirable as their numbers decrease in proportion to the same sex in a small geographic area. The greater the difference in proportion, the greater the opposite sex's desirability is increased. First identified on the Monterey Peninsula in California in 1989, there were almost 100,000 single men at Fort Ord and other military installations which greatly increased the number of single men compared to single women.
Dude, take her out of this sausage fest and she's nothing more than a four, maybe 5 at best. The Monterey Effect strikes again.
Thanks to the Monterey Effect, even the most disgusting land-a-tee can get laid.
