It was a little bit of a surprise that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled by CBS earlier this week. While the show’s ratings have dropped significantly this season, many reported that the TV show was on track for season six. Well, CBS may have cancelled it but the TV show could still continue on ABC.
Ghost Whisperer follows Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a young woman who has the ability to see, talk to, and help the dead. Series regulars have included David Conrad, Camryn Manheim, Jay Mohr, Aisha Tyler, Christoph Sanders, Jamie Kennedy, and Kenneth Mitchell.
With the current ratings, Ghost Whisperer wouldn’t ordinarily be of interest to ABC. However, the network co-owns the show with CBS and actually handles the production in-house. They actually developed the series before CBS picked it up back in 2005. If the price is right, ABC would stand to make more money from season six episodes once they hit syndication.

According to Deadline, negotiations for Ghost Whisperer possibly moving to ABC started on Tuesday afternoon and are still in motion. Word is that they are going well though there are a number of points to work out.
It’s positive that the showrunner for next season is already in place and producers have signed on. That means that the show is ready to go back into production. The Ghost Whisperer writing staff have all been asked not to take other jobs until a final decision is made.
For now, people are being cautiously optimistic. Deals like this have fallen apart at the last minute before but things are reportedly looking good. We’ll obviously keep you posted.
What do you think? Will a deal be made so that Ghost Whisperer can continue for year six on ABC? If that were to happen, when would you like to see it air — on Friday nights or in another spot?

Come on CBS have you lost your minds! Since I first lost my favorite tv shows such as: Charmed, Sliders, Buffy etc, I started watching Ghost Whisperer and I love it! I bought all first four seasons and am buying Season 5 on dvd soon! Please don’t let it die of off the air! Bring it back!

I can’t believe you have cancelled one of the few shows that I looked forward to seeing each week.
I started watching the re-runs of Ghost Whisperer. I became hooked. I’m almost done watching the 5th season. I would be thrilled for a 6th season. Its true a lot of the shows I see are reality shows and cop shows. Ghost Whisperer gives mystery, thrills, and something to believe in. I hope they put Ghost Whisperer back on the air.
I am very unhappy to hear that Ghost Whisperer has been canceled by CBS, but the fact that ABC may carry season six would be great as long as the show airs. I don’t care what channel, just air the show!!!!!! This show has great story lines and teaches you something every episode.
I don’t care what channel comes back . The show is great . I can’t wait for the following week every time we watch the show. I even got my sister watching . I have to say not a fan of Jamie Kennedy on the show.
Come on people, I am an adult women and look forward to watching Ghost Whisperer. Great show with morels,teaches right from wrong!!! I do not care what night it is scheduled for, just return it. PLEASE!
Please keep the show on… its the only show worth watching now adays with all these same lame reality shows…
