There's been a slew of 30-something 1980s stars getting brand-new series lately. There's Alicia Silverstone of The Babysitter and Clueless fame landing the pilot, Bad Mother's Handbook. For a while it seemed Beverly Hills 90210 beauty, Jennie Garth, would star in another pilot called My Best Friend's Girl until she bailed after a table read.
The latest is Jerry O'Connell, who has just been tapped to play the lead opposite Clean House's Niecy Nash in The Inn.

"Smart, eccentric, intuitive, and lovable," was the description given by actor Ken Howard regarding his character Max Cavanaugh on the crime-drama series Crossing Jordan. As a seasoned police officer, he was forced into early retirement after he took the law into his own hands. Even with his reputation as a disgraced cop, he frequently served as a helping hand to daughter Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) in exploring murder investigations. Despite his disappearance on the show, Howard remains to be seen on television and in the big screen with numerous impending projects.

As Detective Woody Hoyt on the NBC crime-drama series Crossing Jordan, Jerry O’Connell was popularly known as the “police muscle” for the medical examiner’s office. While he usually worked with Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) in solving crimes, he was known to harbor feelings for her but was often hindered by her preference to remain friends. Fortunately, their suppressed relationship blossomed when Jordan professed her love for Woody during the series finale. This gave fans a satisfying ending that finally brought light to the pair’s highly anticipated romantic confrontation. Although the series already ended, O’Connell will remain visible on the television circuit with his upcoming pilot.

Exotically beautiful, Jill Hennessy has established herself not only as a dramatic actress but as a brilliant musician and a successful restaurateur as well. With talent to spare, she is the antithesis of the serious characters she is known to portray on television series. Voted as one of the "Fun and Fearless Females" by Cosmopolitan Magazine, she certainly gives spark to the show Crossing Jordan as she leads the television series.

Finally.
After a month of holidays, egg nog, and more Snoopy and Ralphie Parker than one knows what to do with, we're finally back to normal. January is upon us, 2007 has begun its tyrannical, 300-plus day reign, and our favorite TV shows will no longer bludgeon us with repeats. Tomorrow, January 3rd, brings the return of a couple of our favorites, as well as two brand new shows.
After that, the flood begins, and over the next month virtually every original program will air new episodes. A full list of the returning dates for most every show on television is after the jump.

Crossing Jordan
Do you ever inexplicably feel a passionate dislike for someone solely based on the way they look? Not because they're ugly, but just something about their face bothers you? Well, this is how I feel about Jill Henessey, the star of Crossing Jordan. Seeing as I dislike procedural dramas and Ms. Hennessey's face makes me want to pour gasoline in my eyeballs, I'm probably not the right person to ask about Crossing Jordan's quality. I know it's about a medical examiner. That's about it.
