A disturbing trend

Clip shows masquerading as "catch up" shows. ABC has done this twice with Desperate Housewives, did it last night with Grey's Anatomy, and will do it on Wednesday (also for the second time, I think) with Lost.

I can see the value for this for a show like Grey's Anatomy, which started in mid-season and built buzz as it went along. However, I think they could all be avoided if ABC would air new episodes in a normal manner. It seems like the last time we had new episodes of these three shows in the same week was sometime in November.
