Last week CBS cancelled Ghost Whisperer after five seasons on the air. Almost immediately, there was word that ABC might save the TV show. Now, word is spreading that the deal is done. Is it?
In Ghost Whisperer, Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has the ability to see and talk to people who’ve died. Regular castmembers over the past five seasons have included David Conrad, Camryn Manheim, Jay Mohr, Aisha Tyler, Christoph Sanders, Jamie Kennedy, and Kenneth Mitchell.
CBS cancelled the TV show because viewership has fallen quite a bit this season. Ordinarily, ABC wouldn’t have any interest in saving the TV show up but the network co-produces Ghost Whisperer and would share in the profits from another season of episodes going into syndication.
While ABC is still supposedly interested in picking up the show, it hasn’t happened yet. Some websites are saying that it has been picked up, seemingly due to some telephone game-like reporting.
Kennedy, Hewitt’s boyfriend and co-star, was asked about the possibility of ABC picking up the series. He said, “They are talking about it, so that’s cool. We haven’t exactly gone into the light, we haven’t crossed over, but we’ve got some life.” The headline on WENN’s brief story reads, ABC Chiefs Giving Ghost Whisperer a Lifeline.
Some sites, including Perez Hilton, apparently have misinterpreted “lifeline” in the headline to mean that ABC has already agreed to pick up the show. While ABC may bring Ghost Whisperer back for season six, they haven’t agreed to do it just yet.
What do you think? Will ABC save Ghost Whisperer or is it just wishful thinking?

They should bring Ghost Whisperer back it’s better than the stuff they’re putting on today. It was a wholesome show family friendly. Unlike God friended me or Nancy Drew those shows are horrible.
BRING BACK GHOST WHISPERER! If abc starts a new season they wont regret it so BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!
ghost whisperer I am very sad that you canceled the show me and my family loves the show please bring it back .
GREAT BIG LOSS, I enjoyed this show very much but thanks to re-runs I am able to view missed shows. Hopefully they will reconsider and run the show again. The cast was fantastic and worked well together and that is what I look for when I watch television, I look for chemistry of all actors it is major in order to make the show real and they really had it going on for me.
Yes if they bring it back they would get alot of people ,alot loved it it is not fair they took the show off there was alot of people watching the show who loved the show and they just took it of really not right, bring it back
