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. See them in red below, and in the grid below. (For reference, I've listed when, and on what networks, each show aired.)
14A. CHEERSUP (NBC, '82-'93) x 3D. WEEDSOUT (SHO, '05-'12)
27A. ITGIRLS (HBO, '12-'17) x 10D. FRINGECUTS (FOX, '08-'13)
37A. XWINGS (NBC, '90-'97) x 26D. MONKFRUIT (USA, '02-'09)
61A. ARMBONES (FOX, '05-'17) x 43D. NOSCRUBS (NBC/ABC, '01-'10)
77A. WETSUITS (USA, '11-'19) x 51D. STMARTIN (FOX, '92-'97)
When rearranged, the 5 letters at which the 10 words intersect—E, G, N, B, and I—(highlighted in the grid, below) spell the TV-related term BINGE.
