According to The New York Times, Honda is teaming up with Sony Pictures Television to help launch the Minisode Network—a series of re-edited TV classics like “Charlie’s Angels,” “The Facts of Life,” “Fantasy Island” and “Who’s the Boss.” The minisodes are not intended as pastiches or excerpts; they are edited carefully so the plots can be followed from beginning to end in an intertube-friendly 4-to-6 minutes.
Plans call for the contents of the Minisode Network to eventually be available on mobile devices like cellphones.
