The Top 10 Most Watched Web TV Shows

September 9th, 2009 | by Jennifer Van Grove

With the popularity and reach of web TV content only growing, we were extremely curious about the shows that are making the biggest impact with online audiences. As such, we tapped our viral video measuring friends at Visible Measures to see if they could help us determine the king of web TV on an ongoing basis.

Every month, with Visible Measures as our partner, we’re going to round up the top web TV series that are making their mark with online audiences. Video () data is based on total online views for a series in its entirety (ie. not just a single episode) over the course of a month, and we’re limiting our analysis to fictional, reality, or character-driven online shows that produce episodic content, which means vloggers and news-oriented online series aren’t included in the monthly top 10 chart.

The August data is in, and without further ado we’d like to present you with the top 10 web series that have amassed the most views for the month. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
