Viral Video (And Perfect Casting): Mark Cuban on "Entourage"

in News on September 1, 2010 at 1:21 am PT

Of course, it makes perfect sense for Mark Cuban to appear in a very long and involved cameo as himself on the HBO original comedy series “Entourage.” Heck, the fun-loving Internet billionaire could easily slip into the pack of young Hollywood dudes on the show and seem part of the gang.

Viral Video: Other TV Finales (That Were Much Better Than "Lost")

in News on May 24, 2010 at 1:52 am PT

While the final episode of ABC’s “Lost” got all the attention last night, many were dissatisfied with the ending, which seemed to suggest the castaways were all dead the whole time.

Susan's Last Stand: Internet Phenom Boyle Comes in Second

in News on June 1, 2009 at 12:13 am PT

The Scottish woman who went from unknown to become the Internet’s most watched video failed to win first place in the final of the television show, “Britain’s Got Talent” this past weekend. Boyle’s chances have been diminishing over the past week, since the British tabloids have been piling on and tarnishing her fairytale reputation, reporting on odd public outbursts by her due to the pressure of her instant stardom online and off.

Americans Can’t Find a Screen They Won’t Watch: TV, Web Video Both Up

in Media on May 20, 2009 at 10:48 am PT

One big reason why very few ad dollars have yet to make their way from television to the Web, even though online video is booming: TV viewing isn’t shrinking. Yet. Nielsen says more Americans are watching TV than ever before–up 1.2 percent in the last quarter–and they’re spending more time watching TV, too–that’s up 1.9 percent, to a staggering 153-plus hours per month.
