The TV Zone

Got five minutes? Then you’ve got time to watch an entire episode of faves like “Charlie’s Angels,” “Married With Children,” “Fantasy Island,” “The Facts of Life” or “Starsky & Hutch.” Even if you’re not at home.

Pick up that Verizon V CAST phone, and click to on-demand video of The Minisode Network (under the TV & Film category). The online site launched last June has spun off into cell-land, offering quick pick-me-ups from eight vintage tube series even when you’re on the go.

You get the whole kit and kaboodle per episode, including the entire plot and credits (and, yes, commercials) in about one-tenth the time. (And it’s not like you miss much, either.)

Halloween episodes are still up on V CAST now (under the subcategory What’s Hot), which must mean -- we pray, we pray -- that Christmas episodes are soon to follow. New episodes arrive each week. Minisode’s online site ups the count to 15 Sony-produced series including “Dilbert,” “Ricki Lake” and “Police Woman.”
