IP Democracy: Google Streams First TV Show

With all the talk about Google’s expanding video capabilities and its search for a GoogleTV manager, it’s no surprise the company has jump-started its first program. Google is streaming the premiere episode of “Everybody Hates Chris,” the critically acclaimed series inspired by comedian Chris Rock’s childhood and produced and narrated by Rock himself.

The show airs on UPN, which is part of CBS Television, which in turn is an arm of Viacom.

Update: Search Engine Watch says that Google no longer requires the downloading of the Google Video player to watch video streamed from the Google Video database. Google is now using Flash.
