Gritty. Ugly that's suitable for television.
I wanted Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island" ugly, not Cornelius on "Planet of the Apes" ugly. TV ugly, not ... ugly-ugly.

Any audiovisual material that has been dumbed-down so people with the lowest level of intelligence can understand it.
I love Warner Channel... it is so TV friendly!
But their programming has been dumbed down so much...
Precisely, it allows me multitasking while watching TV.

Overhyped, overrated television shows which are in no way, shape, or form, real.
Survivor was the catalyst which has spawned all the crap reality TV show that you now see on nearly every channel on cable and satellite.

The stuff people watch when they want to get away from their own pitiful realities.
Like soap operas, but with a cash prize at the end.
The Apprentice, Survivor, Girls vs. Boys, etc.

(1)Food that was very popular in the 50's, now degenerated into something similar to dog food. Usually placed in a microwave for 3-5 minutes.
(2) May be used to describe easy-to-make food.
(3) Can also be used to demean someone's cooking.
"Hey, there's a chicken nugget in my brownie!"
"Green beans and gravy?"
"Whoa, the plastic wrap's caught fire!"
"I bet you couldn't even make a TV Dinner."
"This tastes like a TV Dinner"

TV Tropes is a wiki that collects and expands descriptions and examples on various conventions and devices (tropes) found within creative works. Since its establishment in 2004, the site has gone from covering only television and film tropes to also covering those in a number of other media such as literature, comics, video games, and even things such as advertisements and toys. The nature of the site as commentary about pop culture and fiction has attracted attention and commentary from several web personalities and blogs.
The content was published as free content from April 2008, and changed its license over the years to one allowing noncommercial distribution.
TV Tropes initially focused on the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and has since increased its scope to include thousands of other series, films, novels, plays, professional wrestling, video games, anime, manga, comic strips and books, fan fiction, and many other subjects, including Internet works such as Wikipedia, which is referred to in-wiki as "The Other Wiki". It has also used its informal style to describe topics such as science, philosophy, politics, and history under its Useful Notes section. TV Tropes does not have notability standards for the works it covers.
