Classic TV shows normally an hour or 30 minutes are cut down to four to six minutes on the Minisode Network.
That is, who among us hasn't felt the double-edged sword of our media age: So much video from TV, DVDs, the Internet and even cell phones ... but too little time to watch it all?
The Minisode Network has a solution.
Launched in June as a broadband channel on the MySpace site, it offers, for our streaming pleasure, episodes of vintage Sony Pictures Television series like "Silver Spoons," "Starsky & Hutch," "Diff'rent Strokes" and even Ricki Lake's talk show.
But the, um, sparkling array of programs isn't what makes the Minisode Network a cultural godsend. It's the convenient packaging: each episode has been pruned from its original half-hour or hour length down to a handy running time of somewhere between four and six minutes!
