"CBS is exploring the possibility of producing original short-form episodes of its top-rated CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series for either its Web site or for distribution on mobile devices. Larry Kramer, the president of CBS Digital Media, said that he has been in conversations with CSI producers to begin developing original episodes of the popular series in the range of 8-minutes episodes. The short episodes would be self-contained, rather than complementing existing episodes of the series, as has been the case with the "Mobisodes" of the Fox series 24, which air on the Verizon V Cast platform."

An 8 minute episode? I don't know how good that would be with CSI fans. It might work on other shows, but I don't think they could get the crime scene processed, lab work done, and tracking down the bad guy, in such a short span of time. Maybe they will break an episode into multiple mobile episodes. :? Who knows. Anyway, this might be the first step in getting me to accept TV on my phone. If the episodes are any good, I might start to watch them.
