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 cannot believe this show was cancelled……oh wait, yes I can……it wasn’t bloody, gorey, violent, and vulgar like most shows on television. This show actually had a storyline that made sense and brought hope and peace to those of us who realize this was fantasy, but want to hope that there was some truth in the basic theory behind the show. Besides all that…..the show was entertaining and I looked forward to seeing Melinda, Jim, Delia, and Aiden and to see what adventure they were going to take us on each week: I hated to see Prof Rick Payne leave… Read more »
ABC (or any other network out there who currently shows Ghost Whisperer in syndication) PLEEEASE PICK UP GHOST WHISPERER!!! I agree with everyone else that it’s such a wonderful show and has been something that my kids (ages 14 and 11) and I can watch together.
Regarding Ghost Whisperer. I unfortunately was unable to watch this program until recently. What a wonderful storyline. Now, I am very disappointed to learn that the program is no longer on TV. There is a problem with taking away such a good and wholesome storyline at this time. Everything that you seem to get on TV is either bad news or sex, violence or etc. We need more talented actresses like Jennifer Love Hewitt. She is able to protray a wonderful, complicated and loving character. The cast members that surrounded her brought the stories alive and it is a real… Read more »
I can’t believe they would just leave them (and us!) hanging. I have a very strong emotional attachment to the show and it deserves to have a final season to wrap the storylines up in a way to bring everyone closure. Shame on you CBS!
I don’t usually watch TV, but I saw this show at my parents and I was hooked….I had to Netflix all the episodes and I was seriously considering getting cable just to watch for the 6th season. I am not an expert, but when you have a show that puts the human condition on the front lines, a respectable loving relationship, and friends who truly love and support one another and then you turn around and cancel it….what does that say about the network? Shame on you CBS for your lack of integrity involving the public who adored this show.… Read more »
I cant believe they have canceled the show with no proper ending. I guess I am sort of to blame for this. I did not know when you DVR a show it does not help the ratings. I DVR this show along with almost all my shows because I have four young children and I watch all my shows after they go to bed. I guess I should stop DVRing all my favorite shows. I have purchased all the series on DVD that should help with the ratingsto. Not everyone can watch them at the time they come on. There… Read more »
Ghost Whisperer and NCIS have been my favorite TV shows for so long. Thank goodness NCIS has been renewed for two more years. I sure wish the same had happened to Ghost Whisperer. It was a very unique show and really had it all: romance, comedy, drama, family interest, and suspense. It does appear that a big mistake was made in taking it off the air so abruptly. It was a lovely show with millions of loyal viewers.
God..I haven’t yet watch any of the episodes and they cancelled it already?
You should ABSOLUTELY bring back Ghost Whisperer. It was really and amazing show, it was always so interesting, and the cast was great. So many people miss Ghost Whisperer and want it back, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring it back!! If you won’t bring it back can you at least do a TV movie or something completing the rest of the story. You left us viewers without a closing and with such an awesome show and devoted viewers I think you owe it to us the viewers and the Ghost Whisperer cast.
what bothers me he most about the cancellation of ghost whisperer they left the avid fans and tv watcher hanging in the air because now we do not know what happened to the cast did they all go into the light or it just was left hanging and I mean all of the cast from season one thru season five as for CBS they rader show raunghy shows like two and ahave men that you can not watch with your children because the star in always in the news with one thing or another
OMG How could this happen. I kept waiting for the new season to start. I had no idea it was gone. I set my DVR every week. I have watched since the beginning and loved it. There was no other show like it. The cast was great and the stories kept you wanting to see what would happen next. Whats the saddest of all is it didn’t finish. There was no finale. CBS sucks. I wish the veiwers mattered, apparently we don’t. Julie from Tulsa….
What! It’s ending! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I love this show and I’ve been watching it every week day for the past two years! How could they cancel it? Just, why…
I am yet just a teenager and had no idea Ghost Whisperer was a show until late 2010. It upsets me to know that the show was cancelled due to lack of viewers because I feel that if I had known the show before that i would have watched. I have not watched the show on “abc’ or on “cbs” but i have watched it on “ion” and it comes on from 3:00 pm to 6:00pm, and everyday after school i have watched it. This show is the best show i’ve seen. I am SO upset to know that Ghost… Read more »
I love ghost whisperer. It was intriguing, captivating, and well thought out. It was a one of a kind show. There are lots of cops and murderer shows on and this one was a mystery, sci fi, modern day alfred hitchcock type show. It was awesome!!! JLH is soo beautiful and she really expresses great emotion on the show. Please bring it back!!!
I can’t believe this show was canceled! There are not many shows on T.V. that I can sit down with my children and watch. We love this show!! My DVR is set to record “all episodes”. There are some that I have seen 20 times, but I still watch them. It really does seem that the good shows are always canceled and all “the tv people” want to air are shows that are filled with cussing, killing, cheating or sex. Please think about what people are still saying to you, right now in 2011… We all want the show back!… Read more »
