Full Version: The "finally"?.? Of Crossing Jordan - Not!
NBC, YOU REALLY LET DOWN A LOT OF VIEWERS! I decide what I consider to be the best TV entertainment for me. I have to dismiss shows that may have had real potential so that I could watch C.J. My DVR helps somewhat when two shows that I have chosen to “COMMIT” to are on at the same time. But with over 200 channels, there’s a lot of choices to make. I, like many others, chose C.J. as one of our regular programing choices. I’m disappointed about NBC ending C.J. I think it’s a bad decision in the first place, but am also avery angry and shocked at the how it was ENDED.?. That episode was no “FINALE” - it was clearly a “CLIFF HANGER.” Fans were looking forward to season seven to find out what happens next. If a decision to end an established series FOR GOOD is made, viewers shouldn’t be left hanging. My opinion is this was very unprofessional and in very poor taste. A “CLOSURE” type episode should have been the finally, not an “EXPLOSIVE - TO BE CON’T, CLIFFHANGER” ending.?. That's going to affect my NBC viewing choices now. I read posts from other C.J. fans that feel the same way. To me, that episode was the BEST (Part One) episode during C.J.’s run...until finding out that "IT" was the “FINAL GOODBYE”...now I'm mad that I even watched it. I’m embarrassed and ashamed of the network exec’s, and everyone involved in the way this show ‘s ending was handled. The actor comments made in clips that I viewed from the NBC, C.J. website, sure seemed as if they were expecting a season seven too. I hope that we will get consideration and a REAL ENDING will be aired: Even if it's just a two hr. episode. Viewers deserve closure after whatching 117 episodes. End it accordingly!! Remember: Networks want and (NEED) LOYAL viewers. You’re gambling on achieving that now after this!!! How do we/viewers, know that NBC won’t do this again with another long running program, etc.? There are too many other programs, and a lot of other networks.

I am furious. I don't think we'd all be mad if we had known months in advance that CJ was ending and the writers were able to write a proper series finale episode. CRASH was definately not a series finale. It was a cliff hanger. We waited so long for Jordan to finally admit her love to Woody and we were cheated by that small moment between them and bam the helicopter comes. We need CLOSURE!
At least CBS listened to their viewers and Jericho is getting a proper ending. I guess that is the difference between CBS and NBC. CBS cares for their viewers and NBC does not! I am sticking to my promise and I am no longer watching anything on NBC.
I wish a cable network would bring CJ on. It seems that show's on cable do a heck of a lot better then the regular network's. There would be a whole new fan base.
NBC YOU RUINED CROSSING JORDAN.
I really hated that they waited until the last freakin' minute to have Jordan tell Woody she loved him. It would have been better to have had her say it episodes ago or at least when he was going out to try to use the emergency locator beacon (or whatever it was). It would have been really cool to have Woody confront her about it..."Did you mean what you said?"
There are a host of other thing I'm disappointed about. Emily's death. Jordan's relationship with her father. Whether James is still alive. Jordan dealing with actually telling Woody she loved him (wouldn't it be funny to actually see them try to be a couple?).
There are other things I would have liked to have seen...where the Nigel/Kate thing was going. Lily and Bug evolving. Whether Garret and Abby would ever have a sort of normal relationship.
That was the most disappointing series end ever. Great season finale. It really set the stage for next season. Too bad we didn't get one.

I'm pretty ****** off about it.

You might want to consider contacting NBC about this...I don't think they'll listen, but we've all written, called, faxed, emailed...email addresses and snail mail addresses for the execs are posted all over the board (though I wouldn't contact Kevin Reilly--he's gone). I'm convinced that my email address has been "spammed" out. I still send postcards (purchased at the post office with postage attached. I print pictures of CJ with taglines and tell them that I'm disappointed in the fall schedule, that I think they should resolve Crossing Jordan with at least a few episodes done in a series (or in the very least, a 2-hour movie), and that I'm not going to watch anymore because I think the fans deserve better.

This sums up how I feel exactly! How can you end a show like you did this one? Not since "Crime Story" have I seen a worse ending to a series than this! You make a cliffhanger and than don't follow it up with a conclusion! Will Woody and Jordan get together finally? Will Bug and Lilly make it together? Too many unanswered questions. You gave conclusions to "Friends" to "Will and Grace" but not to Crossing Jordan. Do you think that a drama should just be left hanging whereas a comedy series should have a solid ending. You whine about how NBC has dropped from number 1 to number 3 (or was that 4) in the ratings race and than you pull this stunt? No wonder the other networks are beating your network! I believe that CBS or ABC or FOX will be getting my viewing next season, since you don't even respect your viewers or your shows with enough respect to even give a conclusion to a long running show! Straighten up NBC, make this right with the viewers! Or expect to remain in last place among the networks for viewership!!!

I couldn't agree more with all of you!This was DEFFINITELY no SERIES FINALE!I just found out about the terrible tragedy,that we are gonna have to experience.Though it was a very strong SEASON finale,the story is so very incomplete and unfinished.I am wondering what happend to Max as well.And are we gonna REALLY find out the truth about Jordan's mother? How are Lily&Bug going to cope together(at last!) with the little princess? And I was really looking forward to Kate&Nigel!!! If you think about it,C.J. is the only show,where the ones, "made for each other" didn't end up in a REAL relationship untill the end of the show. This is NO end of C.J. and I personally don't understand at all why NBC has made such a dicision,if we could even call it a decision!THIS IS INSANE
