Even though this is a TV Guide Q & A, I am putting it under articles. Since the writer is not a huge fan of either LOCI or Crossing Jordan. I found it interesting that he feels that both shows do have a following and do perform well against tough competition.
"Question: I'm sure NBC is happy with their deal to get Sunday Night Football this fall, but it makes me leery about the fate of Crossing Jordan. NBC's been a little mean to this show as of late, having long pauses in between episodes and showing horrible made-for-TV movies in its stead. So I hope that it gets another season. But even if it does, will we be seeing it on a new night or at mid-season? — Aaron
Matt Roush: I wouldn't worry about Jordan or NBC's other Sunday fixture, Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Both have solid followings and perform admirably against stiff Sunday competition. I would imagine that NBC would find new slots for them on a weeknight — Jordan would probably play well on any night, and both that and CI tend to repeat pretty well. Which is why I'd be surprised if NBC pulls a 24 on these shows and keeps them off the air until the football season is over."
