Crossing Jordan Links

During the first two seasons, the series used a gimmick whereby Jordan and her retired-police-detective father (Ken Howard) would role-play the events leading up to that week's murder, which would be depicted by showing Jordan playing the part of the victim or suspect in a recreation of the scene. (The idea being that such role-playing would allow Jordan to figure out the circumstances of the crime, like a profiler.) This element of the series was mostly dropped when Howard left the series as a regular.

On May 14, 2007, the series was cancelled by NBC.[1]
