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 was really disappointed to learn that Ghost Whisperer wasn’t coming back! There are so many story lines that the show could have used, especially with Aiden coming into his own power with his mom…I really thought that would be the direction this next season would go in. I am always so sad that the networks don’t give the shows that loyal viewers have followed, a chance to say goodbye. I hate seeing a movie that leaves you “hanging” and this show did that for me. So sad! I am always watching the re-runs, and hoping that there will be… Read more »
This is a show that did deserve an ending. It broke my heart and still does. I had watched from the beginning. These characters where like my family. I was excited every week to see them. The TV movie idea is good if that is the best we can get.
It’s a show thats been picked up by numerous networks and its still being played so its obvious and apparent that there is still an audience (quite a large one) that enjoyed and still yet enjoys this story. It makes no sense to me why they canceled this show. I ,for one, would be ecstatic to see this air again or for it to at least be finished out by a special and I’m sure many others would agree.
Like most Ghost Whisperer fans I was very saddened to hear that the show had been canceled. I live in New Zealand and the series final only aired here last week. I thought that because we were so far behind season six would just start this week, unaware of the fact that there was no season six. I don’t understand why the show was canceled and would like to know why! I didn’t expect that there would be more than one more season which is why season five as the last season was so unexpected. I think the idea of… Read more »
Exactly just as Jennifer had said Melinda didn’t finish well. Please……… bring it back at least. It sucks knowing that the greatest show on earth that I’ve ever known finishes like a total bummer! People are starting to hate on CBS and ABC because of that, hey you never know because of you guys doing that people will hate you, won’t watch your channel and then your channel will be long gone because there is no reason to have a channel if nobody watches it. Or does it? What do you think? Please bring Ghost Whisperer back with the whole… Read more »
i wish they would bring it back i miss it already i was sad to see it end i live in scotland and evern my friends miss it BRING it back , why do they end good shows when you getting into it ,i hope jennifer love can talk to the boss to see what they can do .
I loved the show, i just started watching it this past year, along with ten of my friends. Will admit cancelling the show was a stupid idea. Many people we getting into it. The last show was the worst way to end! maybe they shold reconsider cancelling! its not like ratings were bad, they were on top! Jennifer love was the best to be playing melinda! wouldnt change a thing about the show except the cancelling it and last show!
Like Brenda, I started watching the reruns on WE this past year and have missed a few episodes so I will definitely buy the DVD series to fill in some of the gaps for me. I cast my vote a big YES for a made-for-tv movie that wraps it all up and like the idea of ending it say, five or ten years later to show how everyone is . They did a similar movie on SyFy for Farscape when it had a very abrupt ending when the series was cancelled.
I too was hoping that they cbs or abc would pick up season no 6 but no such luck and as a faithfull watcher from the beginning they let most of us hanging in the air there is no closure to ghost whisperer I hope that the whole cast old and new will have a reunion but it also left us hanging now we will never now what aidan could do when he got older amd as Brenda maybe they can make a tv move and pick up where it left off and give the fans a better and more… Read more »
I just started watching reruns of this show and fell in love with all the characters, old and new. I never saw it when it was current but am sorry I missed it. I was hoping there would be a new season and am so disappointed there won’t be one. Maybe they can make a TV movie and pick up where it left off and give a better,more satisfying ending?
melinda always helped find peace andcloser a way to move on. no one was left hanging, now the fans are left without a closng,there was so much in all the lives of the charcters. what becomes of eli? they bring in this little boy,and never let him grow. please bring this back and help all of us move on, move it up a few years andshow what each one is diong or going to do.put a proper ending to this great show. i couldn’t wait for friday nights,now i’m still waiting for closing.please give the fans what they deserve and… Read more »
I was really shocked and upset when I found out CBS cancelled Ghost Whisperer after the show had ended for the season. I am still upset that the show didn’t have a chance to have a proper ending and wrap up the storyline, I thought that in the last season the show had been getting really good again and had a lot going for it. There were so many storylines the whole series that i had followed like Melindas probelms with the shadow spirits that I have been looking forward to seeing the conclusion of that were left hanging. Its… Read more »
you guys suck you guys are realy going to end the show like that whoevers idea that is shouid be fired this ghost whisperer needs to come back now you guys need to end it right or i will never watch anything cbs puts up or abc you guys need to bring it back now.
I agree with you Lauren, the network should see that even after 6 or 7 months now since it was cancelled we are still talking about it and want a proper ending. Please give us that! The networks get money from us watching and we should at least get a proper ending to every show.
I’ve been watching this show since the VERY beginning! The ending was horrible for a series finale. Why can’t they do like a “made-for-tv” movie to answer most of the unfinished business!? I love this show so much and I’ve never been so upset with television than the day I heard it was over! I hope that Jennifer Love Hewitt and the cast can reunite to resolve some it. Maybe even put it a few years later, so we can see what happens to Aiden as he grows up. One thing I always wanted was for Ned to be able… Read more »
@melinda P. you know what that idea for ned the whole killed and coming back the way carl did sounds really good, but that would cause even more hostility between melinda and delia because delia can’t see ghost and she might be mad that everyone else get to interact with him still and she cant seeing that ned is all she had left. minus all that i like that idea very much
I wouldn’t change a thing it was the BEST show and will allways be my favorite. At least my dad gave me all the seasons for CHRISTmas so I will forever be watching it.
I used to like this show. It wasn’t the best, but it was good. And that’s saying a lot these days.
But when they did the whole Jim-died-and-took-over-someone-elses-body plotline… I gave up. The show just got too stupid at that point. I couldn’t take it anymore.
I really don’t have a problem with the way it ended… I wasn’t watching it by then anyway.
