TV Crossovers: 'CSI: Des Moines' spurs Midwest hybrids

Okay, fine. There is no "CSI: Des Moines." That doesn't mean there can't be Midwestern crossovers.

Comedy is alive and well at ABC...

Patricia Heaton is back on familiar ground with ABC's "The Middle," a domestic sitcom that showcases her skills at making everyday stresses seem not only funny, but bearable.

Neil Flynn has a new job on ABC, playing a character who's named in the first episode, but he's not necessarily done with "Scrubs."

Former "Saturday Night Live" regular Chris Kattan will continue his role on ABC's new comedy "The Middle" beyond the pilot.
