So paranoid! If it makes you feel any better, it's a legit server on a
legit network in San Diego, and the page code is clean - no
redirections, no spyware trying to load. Looks to me like your basic
still-in-developement tv show desperately trying to get demographics
data to pitch to advertisers. Can't afford content until you have
advertisers...
