From simply searching a content that might interest you, I came across a site called ManiaTV.com.
From this site, I saw series of show called, Studio60.

This show features alot of interviews, but the dialogues in this show were remarkably set and accomplished.
Moreover, the length and the quality was good enough for users to really enjoy the show. One other thing that I was surprised was that these shows were filmed and edited in a very high quality video.
Although such structure contradicts other ITV show, where the budget is low that such quality is not possible, this show really shows that the same experience on TV can be reproduced in the medium of ITV, and these same contents can easily made portable on any portable device so that the user can have the same experience of TV anywhere.
Although the new technology like "Sling" replicates the TV experience everywhere else by allowing the user to watch the normal TV they have in their home at any location, people are more interested in finding such TV-quality content directly from the internet than getting and setting a new device like Sling. To allow such thing, the quality of the show is a must, and this show truly demonstrates how a quality show can be produced and viewed in ITV environment.
In terms of audience, I believe that such content can be targeted for all kinds of audience, and they will certainly content producer to attract various advertisements. However, one thing to keep in mind is that the advertisement shouldn't affect the user's view of content as the commercials on TV simply cuts the show at every 10 minutes or so.
PROS:
- High-Quality of Show content with popular actors and actresses
CONS:
- Navigation and searching for different episodes are hard.
- User Interface is hard. It's very browser-type than ITV UI-typ.
