    The meta answer is BINGE (Hint: Find a 5-letter verb).
    The puzzle's title, "Crossover Events," refers to 2 things. One is the term for when characters from 2 or more TV shows appear in the same "special event" episode. The other is what's happening in the grid: 10 one-word TV shows are hidden inside answers, and 5 of them "cross over" the other 5.
    For reference, here are the answers containing these one-word show titles (in brackets), what years they aired, and what networks they aired on.
    14A. [CHEERS]UP (NBC, 1982-1993) x 3D. [WEEDS]OUT (SHO, 2005-2012)
    27A. IT[GIRLS] (HBO, 2012-2017) x 10D. [FRINGE]CUTS (FOX, 2008-2013)
    37A. X[WINGS] (NBC, 1990-1997) x 26D. [MONK]FRUIT (USA, 2002-2009)
    61A. ARM[BONES] (FOX, 2005-2017) x 43D. NO[SCRUBS] (NBC/ABC, 2001-2010)
    77A. WET[SUITS] (USA, 2011-2019) x 51D. ST[MARTIN] (FOX, 1992-1997)
    When rearranged, the 5 letters at which the 10 words intersect—E, G, N, B, and I—spell the TV-related term BINGE, a 5-letter verb that satisfies the puzzle's hint.

      Needed a slight nudge - names did not jump out at me after LOTS of staring. Clever concept and a fun aha!, nudge notwithstanding. (...I did get thrown by HOUSE in there - I imagine it's tough to be sure to eliminate anything else that could be a show name, but that one slipped in)
      • Cory Calhoun costruttore · 2024-12-12T16:42:58.782Z
        Yeah, HOUSE was not an intentional red herring, I swear! :)

        Needed a nudge as well — TV's not my strongest trivia night category, to say the least! Each show being part of a longer entry was a nice touch (that made my googling endeavour much smoother!) Apparently CUTS is a show, too; I wonder how many phrases can be made out of two shows ... ?
        • Cory Calhoun costruttore · 2024-12-14T01:44:20.838Z
          Admittedly the original audience for this was US only, and the TV shows are from the 1980s-2010s, and are primarily US-based shows. That does add a level of difficulty for a portion of a global audience, for sure. Thanks for the feedback!
