Stereotype used to categorize individuals who fall into a fairly modern trend in child rearing, where the child is not properly raised. Instead the parent(s) occupy the child by setting them in front of a TV as opposed to actively engaging the child in productive activities. This type of childhood typically fosters poor social behaviors and disorders such as ADHD, beckoning use of term.

A child who is conceived because there was nothing good on TV that night and the parents were bored.
I don't have cable- so my first son is a Boob Tube Baby I blame it on the show "Charles in Charge". My second son was a sponge failure.
