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?

Please save Ghost Whisperer ABC
I hope they save it!!!!!
Every episode of Ghost Whisperer has heart & soul – doesn’t it always win its time-slot? It’s always sad when a loved tv show goes off the air, but this decision doesn’t make sense to me. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a brilliant actress and with Camryn Manheim on the show it couldn’t get any better. ABC, please save Ghost Whisperer!
I agree with Sonny. I loved watching Ghost Whisperer every week until the writer’s strike. It seems everything went downhill from there with a shortened second season and then her husband dying in season three. They had a good thing going until they screwed with the story too much. I haven’t watched it since then because the story line is horrible so unless they do a Dallas episode of this all being a dream then I think the show needs to just die and cross over.
GHOST WHISPER IS A GREAT SHOW TO BE ENJOYED BY ANY AGE GROUP. FRIDAY NIGHTS WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT IT! I GET THAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE CRIME SHOWS AND REALITY SHOWS, BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE PLEASE KEEP A BALANCE FOR VIEWERS AND KEEP GHOST WHISPER AND OTHER DRAMA SERIES ABOUT FAMILY AND LIFE, THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING SHOW I LOVE IT, I HOPE THAT ABC WILL HAVE GHOST IN THE FALL LINEUP.
Please keep Ghost Whisperer on the air! It really is a good show!
I really hope ABC picks it up. This show is just AMAZING and the show is well written and very well acted. Come on ABC pick up Ghost Whisperer. Save this AMAZING shows. Please ABC Please Pick Up Ghost Whisperer.
One of THE best shows on television. A great family show that I can watch with my grandson and not have to worry about embarassing myself or him with the content. I can’t believe that the ratings have fallen THAT far. Somebody please keep it on the air!!!
It’s the weather it was nice outside people were barbequing, playing football, playing baseball. So a few viewers decided to take one night off from Ghost Whisperer is this a reason to cancel the show? Come on now, the best thing that ever happened to tv was Ghost Whisperer. From someone who actually experienced ghosts this show is therapy! Purchased an old home, with fieldstone foundation, near a body of water, and full of tragedy. Time and time again, I had to confront and not show my fear, help to close a portal, and help several ghosts to cross over.… Read more »
Ghost Whisperer USED to be a great show. The whole Jim/Sam thing turned off alot of people. 5 years in the future, is Jim, Jim?! He’s SUPPOSED to look like Sam, yet his hospital ID shows Jim’s face. Plus that kid is HUGELY annoying. “Melinda” went from being being a gifted, sexy and edgy character to some kind of psychic soccer mom. Jay Mohr was also really missed. Go back 5 years, find a creative way to erase the whole Jim/Sam debacle, dump the kid, go back to the kind’ve semi “Supernatural-esque” story-lines and bring back Jay Mohr. Then….I’ll come… Read more »
I hope they save it. It’s great for everyone!
