Here in Phoenix, Crossing Jordan was upconverted for the first 10 minutes or so. I've mentioned before that our NBC affiliate, KPNX has the best upconverted picture I have seen. When the picture switched suddenly to HD (surprisingly in sync) I noticed the improved PQ immediately even though KPNX didn't remove their thin sidebar IDs for a few seconds.
Crossing Jordan is just CSI repackaged and I don't like CSI, but I do like looking at Jill Hennessy. Much the same with Jennifer Garner of Alias, and to some extent Kim Delaney of Philly. I told my wife I wanted to see the HD programming, but she's much too smart for that. I gave up on Alias...just too bad a story line.
By the way, did anyone notice the "Simulcast in High Definition Where Available" on Crossing Jordan?
