Tonight on the Tube: West Wing, Criminal Intent, Crossing Jordan, ABC Clip Shows and NBA Playoffs

Music From and Inspired by Desperate HousewivesTonight ABC tries to get you caught up on Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy with Clip Shows. In an hour for each they will try and get you up to speed on each show. The final episodes of the season will be airing over the next few weeks. I guess this is as good away as any to stretch the number of weeks a show airs. It is better than a rerun any day for sure but if you have been watching these shows will you be watching tonight? You will have already seen everything. The next episode of Lost is also a catch up clip show on Wednesday. They did one of these for each earlier in the season and a couple times last season. ABC must have found that they work pretty well or they wouldn’t keep doing them. What will you be watching on TV tonight?
