It’s been many months now since CBS cancelled Ghost Whisperer. Many fans of the TV show are still shocked and upset about the cancellation and series star Jennifer Love Hewitt can sympathize.
In a recent interview with Zap2it, Hewitt revealed that she bought into the rumors that ABC might pick it up and talked about Ghost Whisperer’s abrupt end. She said, “For me, it was a total shock… I thought our next season probably would be the last, just because the show had been on for a really long time. It’s hard to come up with new things that will keep people intrigued, but I never thought in a million years that was going to have been our last season..”
Hewitt also expressed sadness about the fact that the story of Melinda Gordon was left unfinished. She noted, “I didn’t feel the series ended the way that [Melinda] deserved for it to. We left the audience sort of hanging, and I hate that. When you’ve taken people on a journey for so long, the least you can do is give them a goodbye. For a show that was about unfinished business, we didn’t get to finish.”
What do you think? What “unfinished business” bothers you the most about the show? How would you have ended Ghost Whisperer?
I agree Love, it needs more of an ending. I thought the last scenes were good for an ending, but … I’m no longer watching cbs-gw was the only show I watched there anyway, but to protest gw cancellation. I miss Love, she’s soo pretty and talented and great. Gw was still doing well in ratings for Fri. and Medium did worse this season, and its cancelled.
I too have been waiting for the next season of Ghost Whisperer to begin. I am shocked they cancelled the series without any notice. My granddaughter and I have spent many hours watching the show together. A Friday evening bonding time for us. She will be as upset as I am.
I am hoping at least for a movie to tie up loose ends and give us some closure. Please?
I AM SORRY FOR FANS BUT COME ON THIS SHOW STUNK. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THE ENTIRE SHOWS RUN WAS WHEN IT GOT CANCELLED. CBS YOU SHOULD HAVE DUMPED THIS SHOW YEARS AGO.IT WAS A WASTE OF AIRWAVES.
Maybe Ghost Whisperer did go to more of a family show when they killed Jim and when they had Aiden. But this show showed everyone that there is a better place after death and it gives them a peace of mind if one of there family members died and now they now that they could be stuck here or they could be in the light. But besides that I do that that Ghost Whisperer need NO diseaves another chance to actually have a real ending and not leave us high and dry. Also Ghost Whisperer was the number one rated… Read more »
Maybe Ghost Whisperer shouldn’t have strayed from its original concept so far and stolen so heavily from The Dead Zone — could it be karma at work? That show, too, ended abruptly with unfinished business. The TV industry is clearly unkind to psychic-themed shows.
Things don’t happen like you said, jim. It’s preposterous how you say that. Indeed, I must agree with Jennifer. Season 5 finished with no conclusion but a bridge to a possible season 6. It was a good finale yet I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. ABC could have picked up GW but let’s see, GW is expensive not only because of its story that requires many special appearances throughout the episodes of a season but also because it is a TV show with a remarkable fan base and every decision about the show has not the same acceptance for me… Read more »
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT.I LOVED THE SHOW AND THEY DID GET A PROPER ENDING
Even she realises that the show deserved a better ending,it’s a shame that thy didn’t know they were doing the last episodes……A movie would resolve all their unfinished businesses.I miss them so much!
I had been waiting for months for the new season so tonight i finally decided to look up on what is going on here. Low and behold I find that a very dear and excellent family show is no longer being made. I am quite mad that I did not get to see what Melinda’s sons full powers were. What these so called shiny’s were etc this is absolutely retarded that you would end a show with absolutely no reason to do so. I watch the re-runs faithfully in hopes this company will bring back its two sense and let… Read more »
I haven’t had the opportunity to pick-up any talk Cancelled programing so here it is Jan 2011 waiting & waiting for the new season of Ghost Whisperer… And it never shows!!!! OMG! How could they do this to Jennifer Love-Hewitt? She has been dedicated., adorable, imaginative and convincing. I cannot believe they didn’t allow her the heads up for her to have tied-up her series with a finale’. I am “LIVID” for CBS doing this to our Melinda (I mean Jennifer)! You know CBS doesn’t have many top programs as far as I’m conserned and to extinguish 1 of the… Read more »
yeah i really think melinda should have time out as i have seen what it can be like for her just watching her episodes she takes a great deal in and acts on her part very well yeah i reackone shes done great mayby next year start filming again just for now melinda needs a break she probably doesnt feel that she needs it but if i was in her shoes i would be takeing that bit of time to think about my coureer and where its ending u have done well melinda its for u now and where ur… Read more »
I surely have a way to end it, since the first season’s finale I have this idea: the last episodes (like the last two-three ones) show us an older Melinda, in her 70s-80s, with Aiden obviously grown up and with children. Melinda dies (after Jim/Sam already did) and Aiden sees her crossing over, then we see, through her eyes, what is in the light…That’s the perfect ending!
love it!!
I agree will you Jennifer Love Hewitt
I love the show and the show deserve ending
Totally agree with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Ghost Whisperer didn’t deserve to be canceled. We deserved a 6th Season. Ghost Whisperer always won in the ratings in their Time slot. They canceled Ghost Whisperer out of nowhere. We had no real ending. We Fans Want and Need Closure To A Show We Love. A proper ending, to What Is and Always will be a, Unique, Exciting, Journey, suspenseful, Romantic (Melinda and Jim, The Best Couple on Primetime TV)Spooky Show. Show your love for Ghost Whisperer. If Networks won’t give us a REAL final season than we should at least get a… Read more »
Talk about Karma. She dumped her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy , then CBS dumps her . What goes around , comes around .
