home viewers

Couch potato crowd

Home viewers are people watching a television broadcast from their homes, as opposed to a live studio audience.

The phrase appears in direct address during game shows, talk shows, and telethons: And you home viewers can play along too!

It carries a slightly dated, mid-twentieth-century television feel.
