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?

Ghost Whisperer should stay!! ABC is lucky to have it…It is the only day of the week I watch that station Ghost Whisper & Medium…maybe another station will pick it up. I will give them the air time
Pleaseeeeee don’t cancel this show, this is my favorite show I cry in every episode and look forward to what is going to happen next..I don’t even notice the kid aging 5 years out of nowhere, but that one idea would be great for it to be a dream of Melinda’s. Please, please, please!!
We love Ghost Whisperer. We make it family night. Please don’t cancel.
I Love Ghost whisperer and wish ABC would pick it up. I am alittle confused as to why they skipped 5 years though. To me , it doesn’t seem the same. Maybe they could make it a dream that she had, but only to her. That would be a kick, you think? Anything, please just keep it going!
I love the show but the kid ruined it. Kill him off and go from there.
I truly have enjoyed ghost whisperer from day one. Well that is til they let jim die and come back as sam and then back to jim. Now come on how much do you think the viewers were really willing to watch of all that crap. Then to make it worse she has a child that ages 5 yrs in a few minutes and marries sam who is now jim. The show was getting way out there and I believe that it has ran it’s course. I will miss the show because I really enjoy melinda and jim together. When… Read more »
