Need a little Monday morning pick-me-up? Try The Minisode Network, an online bonanza of (extremely) condensed outings from 15 vintage series including “T.J. Hooker,” “Starsky & Hutch,” “Fantasy Island,” “The Partridge Family” and “The Facts of Life.”
Imagine, all your William Shatner, Adrian Zmed and Heather Locklear -- and a mad bomber! -- in just six minutes. Car chases, ’copters flying, mano-a-mono, gunshots, and whoa, that hair. Not Heather’s. Zmed's and Shatner’s -- big-hair ’80s fare. You even get the credits.
The episodes, which come from the Columbia/Sony studio library, change every week. Current faves include Zsa Zsa Gabor on “Facts of Life,” The Skipper castaway-ing on “Fantasy Island,” and -- hubba hubba -- Farrah Fawcett going roller derby on “Charlie’s Angels.” They’ve even got abridged sleaze-talk from “Ricki Lake.”
You get commercials, too, but that’s part of the freebie deal. Way to waste a work break.
