Crossing Jordan (TV Series)

Jordan Cavanaugh is the only child of a widowed and retired ex-cop. She is a forensic pathologist who can’t help getting involved in the cases of the deceased victims she sees in front of her everyday. She is a rule breaker when it is necessary, and is very direct when dealing with people. Dr. Jordan works in the Boston morgue with a crew of unique individuals who are all great at what they do.

I don’t have the foggiest idea how I missed this show when it first aired. Crossing Jordan is a forensic procedural drama. It is well acted, and well written. It is fun to watch.

Cast includes: Jill Hennessy, Miguel Ferrer, Ravi Kapoor, Kathryn Hahn, Steve Valentine, Jerry O’Connell

Bones (TV Series)

Bones is about the foresic anthropology department of the Jeffersonian Institute(Based on the Smithsonian Institution). The main character, Dr. Temperance Brennan, is loosly based on forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs. The scientists help the FBI solve criminal cases(usually murder naturally) using forensic science to search for clues. The characters and their personalities and relationships are a big reason for the show’s success. The show has plenty of action, and emotion but is usually upbeat and fun. I really like the episodes with Bi*** Gi***** from Z* **p as a **an**a a few seasons in!

At nine years and counting if you haven’t followed this show you’d have a lot of catching up to do! This is one of the best shows Fox has ever presented. The characters have gone through a lot of changes and the actors have done a fantastic job. The attention to detail forensically and with the sets and props is nothing short of amazing. I get a huge amount of enjoyment out of Bones and that is good because it is on a lot where I live. I am however bound to say the scenes in cars with the characters touting the car company break the flow of the episodes although they are likely quite lucrative. Bones is a great show.
