BlackBoxTV web series gets off to a solid start

The chart indicates the total views per day on the BlackBoxTV channel from the time we started to track it.

With 2 episodes now out and 125,305 subscribers BlackBoxTV is off to a solid beginning. Episode 1 currently has 322,961 views and episode 2 currently has 243,551 views. The remaining views on the chart come from behind the scenes videos and commentary videos that nicely supplement the narrative video. This is quite respectable for a new web series which has incorporated famous Youtubers in their cast. This has allowed them to cleverly use social media to promote and market the show to a larger Youtube audience. Whether or not this strategy has legs or not remains to be seen but if it stays on its current trajectory the future could be bright for BlackBoxTV.

Miss Behave launched on both http://missbehave.tv and http://koldcast.tv on June 24, 2010. Since that time, the show has garnered nearly a quarter of a million views, received numerous accolades and continues to be a fan favorite amongst teen internet shows. Says creator Susan Bernhardt “We are so excited about the story evolving in Season Two; I'd like to think our show has grown since it's inception, and the characters have all developed so much.” She continues “We will have you laughing and crying in the same eight minutes of a Season Two episode.” Second season of Miss Behave will have a total of ten episodes, each of the first nine about eight minutes long, and an extended cliffhanger finale about 14 minutes in length.
