TV Party was a 7" EP released by Black Flag in July 1982 on SST Records. The sardonic lyrics of the lead track describe a group of friends who have nothing better to do than watch TV and have some beers. TV-watching is attacked as breeding stupidity and the names of several TV-shows like That's Incredible! and Hill Street Blues that were popular during the recording of the song are called out in the lyrics.
