About

ControlTV produced by actor Seth Green, Matthew Senrich, Ken Fuchs, Steve Kessler and Richard Saperstein documented the life of Tristan Couvares for six weeks, starting October 6, 2010. The show was streamed live 24/7, and short, re-cap episodes were posted every few days. The fans of Control TV had been dubbed "the controllers" and voted on various aspects of daily life such as what Tristan would eat, when he would wake up and what he would wear. At one point, the majority of the viewers voted for Tristan Couvares to have an hour off camera. During the show, many cuss words were bleeped out with a splash screen displaying the word "whoops" and a small repeating audio clip.

Viewership

In its first 14 days of release, ControlTV received more than 3 million completed unique episode views, with viewers staying for an average of 27 minutes per visit on the live feed. By the end of season one the show had accumulated over 13 million completed unique episode views.[9]

Sponsorship

Ford, Snickers, Guthy-Renker, and Sprint were sponsors of the show.[10] Tristan Couvares drove a Ford and used a Sprint cell phone. Every few days, Tristan Couvares would eat a Snickers bar on camera. At the end of the series, the viewers voted to let Tristan Couvares keep the Ford Fiesta that was provided by Ford.
