Charlie's Angels Go Mini

by Tim Stevens on May 1, 2007 at 09:21 AM


Compared to modern epic television series like 'Heroes,' 'Lost,' or '24,' some '70s staple shows like 'Charlie's Angels' and 'T.J. Hooker' may seem a little...light by comparison. Sony, which owns the rights to these shows, seems to recognize this sad truth, and is now even hoping to capitalize on it.

The company plans to release Minisodes, which will be five-minute recaps of shows that were originally one-hour long. Though it eventually plans to post these on a dedicated "Minisode Network," Sony plans to first release these five-minute shows on MySpace.

While the lead attractions may be older detective shows and the like, modern talk shows such as 'Ricki Lake' will also be given the five-minute treatment, leaving little room for anything but fights and sobs. (Why else does anyone watch Ricki Lake, anyway?)
