In the most recent attempt to squeeze money out of YouTube traffic, Google unveiled full-length episodes of some fan favorite TV shows.
The full-length episodes will be available in traditional view as well as YouTube’s new Å“theatre view, which seems to play upon the belief that people want fake curtains (and a Ëœlights off’ gimmick) framing their online video watching. In addition, Google is playing around with a new advertising method, playing 15-second ads at the beginning of the video. Ads also roll in during playback and after.

The most hotly contested Olympic battle? It’s not between U.S. and Chinese gymnasts or Michael Phelps and those trash-talking French swimmers.

On AMC’s hit show Mad Men, character Peggy Olson is the ambitious secretary-turned-copywriter at fictional Manhattan advertising agency Sterling Cooper. On the show, which is set in 1962, she’s excellent at keeping secrets—such as how she bore a child out of wedlock. Off the show, she’s more forthcoming. Olson—or rather, a person posing as her—uses the microblogging service Twitter to give fans a peek into her inner thoughts: "The men in the office are headed to the Oyster Bar.

Anyone who knows Leslie Moonves, CBS’s gravel-voiced CEO, knows he doesn’t like to lose. This is the guy who kept a punching bag in his Los Angeles office to take out his frustrations, and who engineered one of TV’s great turnarounds, lifting his network from the ratings heap to No. 1 three years after joining the faded Tiffany Network in 1995.

Kutcher wasn’t in San Francisco to run a casting call for Beauty and the Geek, but to launch a Web video show focused on something about which he knows a fair amount: celebrity gossip.
