Recently, I stumbled upon Crackle, a neat online video resource. Not sure how I missed Crackle – perhaps I was lost in the shadow of Hulu, another (fabulous) free online video service.  Owned by the Sony corporation, Crackle is much like Hulu, offering videos from television and full-length movies. Crackle houses many “minisodes” — where full-length selected TV shows are shortened into 4-5 minute episodes. Hulu has a minisode channel, but it is not as extensive as Crackle’s. Crackle also has original shows, where some are cross-shared via a channel on Hulu.

Some of Crackle’s Minisodes:

* Fat Albert
* The Partridge Family
* One Day at a Time
* Good Times
* Starsky and Hutch
* 227
* The Facts of Life
* Charlie’s Angels
* Party of Five

To view more of Crackle’s minisodes, go to this link and click on the drop-down filter on the right hand side of the screen to filter by minisodes. Unfortunately, I could not find a direct link to them (which would be a recommendation to Crackle for a mini-improvement to their website).

I’ll leave you with a minisode from The Facts of Life. (Take note of a very young Helen Hunt as a drug pusher!)
