Is there a trope name for when characters turn on their TV and we don't see the screen but we only hear music? This is a frequent thing of sitcoms. Sometimes the characters mention what they are watching but to avoid actually playing the real show, the TV will only play music and some sound effects. You rarely hear dialogue coming from the TV. Anyone know if this has a name? Find it interesting.
