CBS Sitcom, Drama Swap Writers for Genre Mashup

Just in time for sweeps, the May 5 broadcast of CBS’ Two and a Half Men might well be a TV first. The episode was written by Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar, executive producers of the net’s CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, while the May 8 CSI broadcast was penned by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn, creators and executive producers of Men.

Crossover stunts traditionally involve the cast of one series appearing on another in a narrative that extends to both shows.
