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 was like OMG Ghost Whisperer canceled this can’t be happening?!!

There might be less people watching GW in the US. But there’re other counrty’s you know, other counrty’s where there are people like me who love GW and there they watch it too.
It’s so unfair !

Why is it that all the good shows get their pink slips, yet the mindless crap stays? Please, whether it be CBS (although unlikely) or ABC (which would be another major boost for them), at least give it a try. There are more fans than the Neilson Ratings realize. I’m fairly certain the loyal followers of Ghost Whisper would be more than happy to send in their thoughts to the network on a weekly basis. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? Who needs the Neilsons if the fans send in their comments. Come on ABC, take a chance… Read more »
please save the show!
this is the best show of the last years and it can’t end. ABC could get ghost whisperer and give the fans something to see every week. Unfortunately i think that the show will end…
love GW! Ghost whisperer 4ever
Dear CBS: Anything you put on Friday night to replace Ghost Whisperer will have fewer viewers, I promise you. It is one of the few shows that is not a sitcom, cop, doc or lawyer show. Please reconsider.
LOVE THIS SHOW AND THE CAST. PLEASE KEEP IT
It would truly be ashame to allow this show to be canceled. Please think again. There have been several wonderful show that have bitten the dust don’t let this be one of them. A new season of new shows will have to go through cancelation to get a short list of winners. Why go through this procces when you have a proven show ” Ghost Whisperer”!!! GHOST WHISPERER…GHOST WHISPERER…. GHOST WHISPERER GHOST WHISPERER
I was upset to hear that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled. I am more than certain it won’t be back on CBS’ schedule. However, let’s hope ABC brings it back. It was a great show that didn’t follow the crime, lawyer or medical show genre. It was fresh, smart and original from episode 1.
Please keep Ghoast on, there are not enough family shows that we can all share together.
Please dont cancel. best show on CBS and mistake to cancel.
If Ghost Whisperer is picked up by ABC – I will be watching it!
