WTF?

Now tv has inter-series crossovers too, that force you to watch the other show you don't know anything about? (I just found out that after I watched this week's CSI that it is a two parter and that the other half is an episode of some series called "Without a Trace" that I don't think I've ever seen. *grump*)

And here I thought only comics did this kind of thing.

Oh, it's fairly common in American TV... Pretender did a crossover with Profiler, Crossing Jordan and Vegas, and Murder She Wrote and Magnum PI...usually the shows have to be on the same network. And in this case Without A Trace (about the FBI Missing Persons Department)airs right after CSI, so it makes a nice two-part 'tv movie' event.

How does this kind of thing work on their season DVD sets? Do they include one WAT on the CSI set and vice versa? Or do they put on half the story on the DVD?

...that's a good question. I haven't seen a dvd with one of these crossovers, so I don't know how they handle it.
