NBC’s crime drama Crossing Jordan is being moved to Wednesday nights, up against American Idol and Criminal Minds. NBC sees more promise in Howie Mandel and Deal or No Deal. That game show is currently in the Wednesday 9 pm timeslot and it’s getting pummeled in the ratings. NBC will adjust its late-winter primetime schedule by moving Deal or No Deal to Sundays (9-10 p.m. ET) followed by The Apprentice: Los Angeles (10-11 p.m. ET) beginning Sunday, March 4. Crossing Jordan (currently Sundays, 10-11 p.m. ET) shifts to Wednesdays (9-10 p.m. ET) beginning March 7.

The book Crossing Jordan, by Adrian Fogelin, explores race relations in the South. Although the town where Cass lives has long been legally integrated, there are still fences to cross in social relations. USA Today called Adrian Fogelin's first book, Crossing Jordan, a "sensitive portrait of black-white relations in a changing neighborhood." The American Library Association named this book to its Best Books for Young Adults list. Crossing Jordan ... has been nominated for a Georgia Children's Book Award as well as other awards.

Crossing Jordan premiered in 2001 on NBC; originally scheduled to debut on September 11, its launch was pushed back due to the terrorist attacks on that date. It has aired on Monday, Friday and then Sunday, its air date throughout the 2005-2006 season. For the 2006-2007 season, NBC had planned to move it back to Fridays at 8 pm beginning in October, but without warning nor explanation, replaced it with 1 vs. 100, much to the dismay of viewers wanting resolution of last season's cliffhanger. NBC claimed that Crossing Jordan was such a strong show that it could be used anywhere in the schedule, yet only ordered 17 new shows for the new season, instead of the standard 22 or 23 shows that would constitute a "full" season order. NBC returned the show to its original time slot of 10 pm on Sundays starting on January 14, 2007, but changed to Wednesdays at 9 pm as of March 7, 2007.

That ironic exchange appeared in Crossing Jordan , a poor man’s version of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The acting is choppier. The dialogue a tad less creative. The plots more perfunctory. But much of its action—and gore—is the same.

Crossing Jordan, One of the two shows worth watching on NBC, the other being Medium. The big wigs at NBC decide to keep a very tired show like Law & Order add reality "crap" and drop the only show on their network that can compete with other channels shows like CSI. What on earth are you thinking?
