IT REALLY DOES BLOW, WHEN A LONG-RUNNING SERIES DOES A CHEESY CLIP SHOW: So can someone explain to me why, over the past year, we've had to endure 2 Desperate Housewives clip shows, a Grey's Anatomy clip show, and 2 (counting this week's upcoming "Revelation") Lost clip shows? Now, I completely understand the point of clip shows, and there have been great ones, such as The Simpsons' "All Singing, All Dancing, " and Alias' "Q & A." However, those clip shows used the clips in service of a storyline or similar, while the recent spate of clip shows don't even bother putting together a narrative throughline, but simply try to abridge 15 or so episodes into an hour. I know they don't want to do a rerun, but should we be subjected to this mess?
