CBS is serving up episodes of hit shows like CSI on Innertube, as well as pilots that never hit the airwaves, like The Papdits.

Surveying the network sites, CBS' "Innertube" offers the easiest access to a nice array of original content. Among the current features, the best is "The Papdits," a clever "Borat"-like spoof about an Indian family by one of that movie's writers, which is a full pilot thrown on the Web. (Actually, even the animated Esurance.com ads -- the ostensible price to watch this content -- are kind of entertaining.)

Funny video clip from the papdits when they are meeting with the Future Business Leaders of America. Does accommodation always accompany condescension?

After two years in development hell, comedy pilot "The Papdits" is finally getting a chance to find an audience.
Reality-scripted hybrid written by "Da Ali G Show" scribe Ant Hines concerns what happens when a fictional family from Kashmir interacts with ordinary Americans during a cross-country RV tour of the U.S. Hines exec produced it with Sony and Bull's Eye Entertainment's Tom Nunan and Cathy Schulman ("Crash").
CBS passed on "The Papdits" last May. But starting today, the roughly 20-minute pilot will begin streaming for free on the Eye's Innertube broadband channel. Net also is making clips of "The Papdits" available to Verizon wireless subscribers via the latter company's V Cast service.

The funniest new TV show of the season isn't even on TV. It's called The Papdits, and it airs only on Innertube, CBS' online broadband channel that airs several original shows, most of which aren't nearly as good as The Papdits.
The show follows a fictional family of Indian immigrants, who have traveled from their home country and settled down in Arkansas. The family patriarch is Gopi, who dreams of opening a quartz mine in Mount Ida, Ark. Gopi has designs of someday franchising quartz mines across the country and has apparently grossly overestimated the American appetite for quartz.

Last spring, CBS didn't want the docu-comedy series "The Papdits," but now it is giving the series new life online.
CBS announced on Monday that "The Papdits," created by "Da Ali G Show" veteran Ant Hines, will air on the network's Innertube streaming platform. Footage from the show will also be available to Verizon Wireless V Cast users.
If the "Papdits" pilot is successful on Innertube, the possibility exists that the series could continue online in some form or another.
