Made-for-TV Movie
From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.
Made-for-TV movies are made when a network has a celebrity, perhaps even two, spare special effects money, and no idea what to do with them. The network cobbles together a staff made up of people who openly hate humanity and all it stands for. All involved have their objectives screamed to them through a megaphone at a range of three feet, are kicked in the groin and locked in a studio.
One week later, the finished product airs, regardless of whether an objective third party would actually call the product "finished" per se.
