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?

I can’t believe that cbs cancelled Ghost Whisperer! It truly is one of the few shows that I enjoy. Please ABC keep it on the air, this show has many loyal fans, not only do we watch the new episodes we also watch the reruns over and over.
Ghost Whisperer is a Great Show! Please bring it back!!

Please, Please, Please, I agree, I love this show. When it 1st came on I was so busy with my kids and now that I have the time to watch it – I hear it may get cancelled. Please dont!!! I want to see it continue on. It is sooo gooood!!! I know have the availability to tape it on my DVR so I can watch it at my convenience. YEA!!! So please continue it on.
Ghost Whisperer is one of my favorite shows and I look forward to watching it every week and then watching the reruns. PLEASE bring this show back for many more seasons!!!!
Bring back Ghost Whisper. And I totally agree about them killing Jim off. I’m sure a lot of people stopped watching when they did that storyline. But I love the show and I stayed tuned even though that was a stupid move.
I love to watch ghost whisperer when I wasnt home i recorded it .
I have all 4 seasons of this show. I have not missed it EVER. They are talking about poor ratings? Did Nielsen ratings people go out to lunch and not come back? There was one season whey the killed Jim off. That was stupid. When are the people at the “top” going to come back from playing “golf” and attend to what people want on tv?
i need my ghost whisper back now please cbs sinks but abc rocks bring it back
i just have one word .abc please bring back ghost whisper it was my #1 show i watched so save save the show abc rocks not cbc
I lost my family. the show woke me up. you would be a ass not see that people need this.
Ghost Whisperer was one of my favorite shows. Just don’t do anything stupid like killing off Jim (again). Whoever thought up that story line should have been fired. it’s probably the reason why viewership dropped so badly. That was an idiotic move.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE….CONTINUE Ghost Whisperer….It is the one show I look forward to watch, and will watch more then once….It is a great show with warmth, family, love and hope….PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE reconcider…
