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 hope ABC picks it up. It’s a great show, very entertaining and with a great cast. It seems like these people are real and a part of our family. ABC should do itself a huge favor and snatch it up fast!
If ABC is smart, they will pick up my favorite show. Fri nights will not be the same. The show has got meaning, and I enjoy the show, not to mention I have learn so much thanks to Jennifer Love Hewitt. Keep a good show on, my family and I love it, and love Jennifer.

Are you kidding? With all the “garbage” shows on tv today, Ghost Whisperer is one of the very few worthwhile shows left to watch. Please do not cancel it. It is a heartwarming and intelligent show that I DO NOT want to end. PLEASE!!!!!!! All I will be left with is Two 1/2 Men and my daily taping of General Hospital.
CBS what were you thinking canceling Ghost Whisperer!! My husband and I have been watching every episode. So what am I supposed to watch now; it’s like my soap opera! ABC if you’re smart you’ll pick up Ghost Whisperer! Low ratings?? Are you serious!
ABC will be smart if they do pick up Ghost Whisperer. It is a good show,better than some of the silly ones on the air. There are very fer I care to watch.

Oh Please, this show is so Great. I love with their son . we need this information.
I REALLY hope they save this show. At least for 1 more Season so they can bring closure to the series and end it correctly. Too many shows being cancelled with cliff hangers…

The TV series Ghost Whisperer was just getting good Jim just remembered who he was and they are having a baby now it was just getting good I will be very disappointed if they dont do the series anymore
Please save Ghost whisperer this my favorite show of all time please please please save ghost whisperer i would really love that
I believe Ghost Whisperer should never have been cancealled so I certainly hope ABC will pick it up
I think ABC or SCI Fi channel should pick Ghost Whisper up. It is a good show. It has a heart and teaches us that we are not alone, there are caring people out there in this world. I have MS and it takes me away when I have a bad day with it. I watch reruns on other channels which I can seem to fine now. I never get tired of watching that show.
Thank you
i hope they can save the show. i have been watching it sense it first started and its one of the few things that keep me happy.
Please save this show! It is my favorite and I have never missed an episode. The little boy is cute. All you people are mean that say he isn’t.
