==Broadcast==
''Crossing Jordan'' premiered in 2001 on NBC. It aired on Mondays, Fridays, Sundays and finally Wednesdays for its final episodes.{{Citation needed |date=September 2022}}

The show was put on hiatus for most of the 2003–2004 season to accommodate Hennessy's real-life pregnancy. The series returned on March 9, 2004, with a shortened 13-episode season. Due to the season being broadcast out of order, the cliffhanger plotline from the season-two finale was aired as the last episode of the season instead of the first; instead, the first featured an unrelated story with a humorous subplot that paid homage to [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s 1954 film ''[[Rear Window]]''.{{Citation needed |date=September 2022}}

A crossover episode of ''Las Vegas'' in which the ''Crossing Jordan'' cast appears was aired on November 17, 2006, though NBC was not airing new episodes of ''Crossing Jordan'' in autumn 2006.{{Citation needed |date=September 2022}}

Originally, the sixth season was slated for Sunday nights after the football season ended in January, but it was then scheduled to premiere on October 20, 2006, and to be on Friday nights with ''[[Medium (TV series)|Medium]]'' being put into the after-football Sunday-night slot. It was scheduled to air at 8&nbsp;pm Eastern/Pacific and 7&nbsp;pm Central/Mountain, but NBC decided to avoid showing scripted programming at that hour. The season premiere was pre-empted in favor of ''[[1 vs. 100 (American game show)|1 vs. 100]]'', a game show hosted by [[Bob Saget]].<ref name="tvsquad">{{Cite news |last=Johns |first=Anna |date=September 28, 2006 |title=NBC bumps Crossing Jordan for new game show |publisher=TVSquad.com |url=http://veronica-mars.tvsquad.com/2006/09/28/nbc-bumps-crossing-jordan-for-new-game-show/ |url-status=dead |access-date=November 6, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070423165216/http://veronica-mars.tvsquad.com/2006/09/28/nbc-bumps-crossing-jordan-for-new-game-show/ |archive-date=April 23, 2007}}</ref> The season premiere ran on January 14, 2007, at 10&nbsp;pm Eastern/Pacific and 9&nbsp;pm Central.

===Cancellation===
Originally, the finale for the sixth season was promoted as a cliffhanger. A plane crash which left all of the main characters (with the exception of Lily) stranded atop a mountain with little hope of being discovered was reported to end with no resolution, as the story would pick up at the onset of a subsequent season. Once NBC decided against renewing ''Crossing Jordan'' for a seventh year, though, fans were treated to a different ending: Jordan ultimately confronts her held-in feelings for Woody and finally professes her love, and all of the characters are rescued in the final moments of the series. The ending provided fuel to rumors that producers recorded two endings to the finale: one in case the series would be renewed, and another in case the series would not be.{{Citation needed |date=September 2022}}

The series was cancelled on May 14, 2007, two days before the season six finale aired.<ref name="TVSF-20070514" />
