On a recent Two and a Half Men (tied with Arrested Development on my list of TV's best written comedies), Charlie found out that there was a site called Charlie Harper Sucks and women were comparing their notes on dating him. Visiting the URL in the real world, you can read everything Charlie found in the episode and more.
I love it when a TV show mentions a new URL or a phone number that was created just for that show. On a recent Scrubs, Turk got a great cellphone number and if viewers called it, they got to hear a message from Turk himself.
When the episode aired, the cast and crew were reportedly taking turns answering the number themselves, which sounds great unless you're like me and you watch most TV on TiVo weeks after an episode has already aired.

That is really interesting. I guess that the only way for them to be safe is to register the site themselves and just not use it.
I just never thought about that, but then again I don't watch too much tv.

Then there's always the other side of the coin. I recently read about a children's game or tv show (some sort of family entertainment thing) that mentioned a domain name during it. They even checked to make sure that there wasn't currently a site there before releasing it.
Next thing they know, complaints about the porn site they mention come in. Some enterprising young soul registered it after the show/game came out. At that point, I don't think there's anything they can do about it.
