‘Studio 60′ pilot appears, disappears from YouTube
Steve Safran July 31st, 2006
How many times have we written about this before? Today, I watched the pilot for “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” the new fall show on NBC that’s (very) loosely based on the behind-the-scenes life at a SNL-like show. It was on YouTube, albeit in five parts. I was going to write about how much I liked the show, and how good I thought it was that NBC was leaking it out there. Instead, by this evening, this message was up: “This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. because its content was used without permission.” What do you bet this is a classic case of marketing puts it up, and the lawyers threaten to sue the site? (The video was posted by username “studio60ss.”) What would the harm be in posting the show? I downloaded USA Network’s preview of its new show, “Psych,” and watched it on the plane ride home from vacation. Good show. Learn from the experiment: get your stuff out there and build good buzz. Don’t punish the people who want to see your entertainment. They are your best advertisers.

I saw it two weeks ago on a dvd screener. The first thing I thought was “this will be online soon…”

As seems to be standard practice for networks now, this show will probably have it’s pilot episode free to download on iTunes. I’ll wait for then.

Yeah, take NBC’s other new show, Heroes. The pilot has been on Youtube for awhile and will also be on iTunes shortly. If they want to garner interest in a new series then why not put the pilot up on Youtube?
Seems to be working out well for the Nobody’s Watching guys.

Seems to be back up on YouTube.

As someone who did watch it and LOVED it, and did indeed review it on my site, I fully believe that it was just a marketing ploy for NBC and Warner Bros.
The show was fantastic though, and if you’re a fan of Sorkin’s work (west wing, sports night) you will LOVE it.
