watershed
n.— «Jargon watch: when people talk about “the watershed,” they mean the difference between 8 pm and earlier, when kids might be watching, and 9 pm, when if kids are still up, it’s their parents’ fault. Our show is probably a post-watershed show. Heidi and Sarah’s are perfect family viewing.» —“Congrats Heidi and Sarah!” by Alex Epstein Complications Ensue: The Crafty TV and Screenwriting Blog July 22, 2007.
