Meet The Papdits
By
CBS’s broadband network Innertube has begun streaming The Papdits, a wacky 20-minute comedy originally created, but later nixed, by Fox in 2004. The Papdits follows a fictional Kashmiri family’s encounters with real Americans during a cross country RV journey in search of suitable locations for setting up their quartz mining operations.
CBS brought the series to life, piggybacking on its creator Ant Hines’ success with Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, which proved a surprising hit at the box office this Fall. The Papdits are unlikely to get a network slot, because the show is believed to lack broad appeal for CBS’s mainstream audience. However, if it does well on Innertube, chances are that the remaining five episodes in the series will likely be streamed as well. Are you ready to vote? http://www.cbs.com/originals/papdits/
