Molly Willow of the Columbus Dispatch wrote about finales, ranking Crossing Jordan as the worst series finale...
Worst series finale: Crossing Jordan (NBC). The series ended with a plane crash, with the fates of characters unclear. If I’d been watching at all in the past two years, the development might have upset me more — but, after six years, the remaining fans deserved better.
I emailed her thanking her for publicly writing what the fans have been expressing to NBC all along...that we did deserve better and that it seemed like NBC had it in for CJ before the season even started...and she responded. Here's her email response:
While I usually wouldn’t agree that a network “had it in” for a series, in this case I somewhat agree. NBC treated it poorly from the start and clearly weren’t committed to making it work. Even more frustrating is that they must have known early on that it was on the cancellation block, so why not allow the writers to wrap up the stories? I am heartened to see today, however, that as a result of huge fan outrage, CBS is considering tying up the series with a 7 episode mini-season. That’s practically unheard of. Could it be that a network is finally understanding the price they pay for ticking off fans? Unfortunately this won’t translate to Crossing Jordan, but it’s still encouraging.
