Sweeps
From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.
Sweeps is the common name associated with two months of the year. The first of these falls between October and December, while the second falls between April and June. The true name for these months has been lost to the mists of time.
Sweeps is traditionally the time of the year when the dark powers of the shadowy television magnates are at their strongest, due to the orbital inclination of the earth. Because of this, television plots are typically more improbable, more spectacular, and more likely to include the death of a main character during Sweeps.
