DVD Review
Join a quirky team of misfit coroners willing to put their forensic skills to the test as all 23 Season One episodes of Crossing Jordan, including the memorable pilot, arrive on a 5-disc DVD set for the first time ever! Smart, conflicted and unconventional, Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) is a forensic pathologist whose obsession for solving homicides goes beyond the autopsy table. But the driving force behind her hard-core, unorthodox investigative style is the one crime she hasn't been able to solve—her mother's murder. Relive some of your favorite Crossing Jordan moments from this first season, including her battles with her boss, Dr. Macy (memorably played by Miguel Ferrer), the first appearance of Detective Woody Hoyt, music by Wendy and Lisa, amazing special effects, and Jordan and her police detective father putting themselves in the roles of victim and killer. From the creator of Hereos comes the fast-paced and funny mystery series that critics rave "is marked by crisp, clever dialogue, and a brassy lead performance" (Steve Johnson, Chicago Tribune).

CJ - a show that refuses to die - Rating: 5/5
Given that "Crossing Jordan" still demands the attention of enthusiastic fans after being unceremoniously dumped by the network, the Season 1 DVD Set, with its energy and passion, will indeed be welcomed.
The show has it all: a great ensemble cast with a strong female protagonist, thoughtful plot construction, a sense of the ways people grow in and through relationships and a clever and beautifully presented music score.
I'm set to enjoy owning Series 1. May Series 2-6 appear sooner rather than later.
One of my favorite shows - Rating: 5/5
I first started watching Crossing Jordan my junior year in high school. It was so fascinating that I wanted to be a medical examiner until I saw some pictures of an autopsy online. Which made me quickly change my mind. I loved the show so much and was very disappointed when I found out that the show was canceled. I really wish that Crossing Jordan had never been taken off the air because the show had so many places to go with Jordan and Woody. My only Crossing Jordan fix is when I watch it on A&E and now the DVDs. However, I have one problem. They should have been making DVDs for each season because now it will probably take like ten years for all six seasons to be available on DVD.
I'm going legal! - Rating: 5/5
Hah! We're all devoted fans and need no convincing!
I can finally begin deleting my saved episodes on my Tivo and trash the poor quality bootleg I bought on ebay to tide me over until the release of this excellent series on DVD.
Did you know that Jill could sing? The first season has her singing "Blue Christmas." You won't find that one on the Crossing Jordon CD you'll find here on Amazon. She's ditching acting for music, and does she ever have a future in tunes! Check it out.
Cannot WAIT!!!!! - Rating: 5/5
Crossing Jordan was one of the few series I actually watched...I wondered if they were ever gonna put it on DVD and I actually heard that they wouldnt because of music issues-Cant wait and I definantly will be buying it.
Long overdue - Rating: 5/5
I am so excited it's finally out on DVD. This was one of the most incredible, clean, underrated shows on tv. The characters were all complex, and the actors who portrayed them made them even better. This show had one of the best chemistries in a whole cast. Highly recommend. Can't wait for 2-6.
