Will this new content be viewable on an (unaltered) AppleTV?

Does it work YouTube on Apple TV? I doubt Apple would like that, but consumers would love it.

these vids are just like any other youtube video (well, almost) so they will work on all devices (as they are searchable)

"Google TV Ads... will place commercials into the ad breaks of TV programs watched online (the ads cannot be skipped)."
Finally a good use for the Apple Remote!

This really is quite remarkable... yes the shows are not what was on TV last night, they are more like shows that were on last night 20 years ago. The movies leave some to be desired, but especially enjoyable are the classic TV section and all of the Animie shows packed under the animation category. Also, I found them when I searched on the YouTube app on my iPhone, which means YouTube is one step ahead of Hulu in getting TV shows into the hands of iPhone users.
Also, it seems they were pretty conclusive in loading these shows; for example the Gundam program has Episodes dubbed in English OR subtitled. It's pretty funny to see TV studios searchable as Channels now. I imagine this might help some with all of the copyright problems they are having; if the studios willingly put their shows on here in this kind of quality users won't have to bother.
I am so happy to have some of these classic shows back, as well as some good Saturday morning cartoons. I feel like this should be a highlighted article or something, I want to tell all my friends so we can dive into the nostalgia!!!!
TV on YouTube, and this time in a 100% legal way!

When are these companies going to realize that most people DO NOT live in the US? I accept that there are licensing and copyright issues, but nothing seems to be happening. No tv shows on YouTube, no Hulu, no Pandora - hey, we can't even buy or rent movies or TV-shows on the iTunes Store - and that's been available to the small crowd of American buyers for years!
It's time to accept the world is different than it was twenty years ago.

Fantasy Island! Count me in! I hope they have Magnum P.I. and Tales Of The Gold Monkey too. We really enjoyed those shows back in the early '80s.

its nothing big, all the tv shows and movies are either super old or complete crap. I have searched through it a lot, it sucks. it opens the tv show or movie in a fancy shmancy video player like megavideo. it just slows down people's computers unless their running the latset version of everything. this is stupid! you get all excited to see the "Movies" or "TV Shows" sections when Youtube loads up. after searching through it a while, you become so very dissappointed. its wat worst than netflix watch instantly, which is not even that great. youtube's addition of Movies and TV Shows is like combining old Youtube with Crackle! (Complete Crap)
