Seth Green Lets Fans Take 'Control'

  • Mediaweek, Sunday, October 24, 2010 10:28 PM
Seth Green and Digital Broadcasting Group may have a budding Web video hit on their hands. The high-concept series "ControlTV," which allows viewers to both watch and (sometimes directly) influence a 25-year-old guy's life live via the Internet, is attracting viewers.

Soon after the series Oct. 6 debut, an initial flood of traffic crashed the show's servers. But after it added streaming capacity, users have become increasingly engaged in "ControlTV," which lets fans vote at least a dozen times a day on what Los Angeles transplant Tristan Couvares does with his life. Those decisions range from what Couvares should eat to how he should spend his time. Through its first 12 days, ControlTV has attracted just under 50,000 unique users who have generated 210,863 total page views.
