My family and I enjoy ...
Question: My family and I enjoy watching
Crossing Jordan. In fact, we have all four seasons on tape and
Jill Hennessy is the reason we watch. She is a fantastic actress who does a fantastic job portraying Jordan, faults and all. I can't quite figure out what you have against her and the show. It's a great series with a well-rounded cast, and the writers do a solid job of keeping things fresh while engaging in character development. So Matt, what gives with you and
Crossing Jordan? Give the show and its actors the recognition they deserve!
Answer: I've got nothing against Jill, and agree the role and the show fit her to a T (often a tight T, but still). I also admire
Miguel Ferrer and enjoy, in limited doses,
Jerry O'Connell. But anytime I tune in to the show, it just fails to grab me. It feels contrived and cartoonish, even by this genre's formulaic standards. There's no point in me trying to convince the show's longtime fans of my opinion, and I'm afraid the same is true vice versa.
Jordan is successful, NBC is happy and, I guess, lucky to have it. Let's leave it at that.
