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 ABC pick this show up, I love this show and I always will.
I dont watch tv at all except for Ghost Whispers on fridays and Coldcase on Sunday so PLEASE PLEASE DONT CANCEL GHOST WHISPERS or i will having nothing to do on friday night i loved the show from the start i never missed it i always made sure i was in front of thetv at 7.55 just not to miss beginning
I too have watched GW since the beginning and LOVE the show. I am extrememly disappointed that it has been cancelled. I also hate the fact that CBS constantly cancels good shows only to then not have anything to replace them and we are stuck with reruns on Friday’s and Saturdays of previously-watched shows that were on through the week. What is the purpose of that? Just leave things alone or do polls to see what WE want. Even during the summer lately there have been no new fill-in shows to grab an audience. So instead of caancelling shows, cancel… Read more »
Please ABC pick up Ghost Whisper! I love the show. It makes my Friday nights. It is date night with my husband and we have a good supper and watch Ghost Whisper.
Please please bring back Ghost Whisperer! My children and I love it! We were trying to get caught up on old seasons so we could watch new ones! Now there aren’t going to be new ones! Boo! Please someone pick it up! We will watch everytime its on!
Please save Ghost Whisperer, it is the best show on television. I will watch only ABC if you do!
These jerks at the networks are so predictable when they cancel two of their top shows that coincidentally (NOT!) star women. Maybe viewership for GW has fallen because you guys don’t put any muscle behind the show and are, in fact, so lazy you just hope it skates by even in the dealth slot on Friday night where, guess what? It didn’t just skate, it FLOURISHED!! ! Hollyowood jerks. I’m not a man hater, but I am sofreaking tired of male centric shows. That’s why I’m tuning in to TNT where they know strong female leads are exciting to watch.… Read more »
This is the best show ever….please do not cancel it, please please….
l have only started watching the show in the last year but l look forward to it everynight, l even watch the re-runs.
I REALLY HOPE ABC PICKS UP THE TVSHOW. BECAUSE ALOT OF US LOVE THE SHOW SO MUCH AND IT SUX THAT THEY JUST DECIED TO THAT OUT F THE NOWHERE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! MAKE MORE SEASONS WE LOVE THEM ALOT….
the main cast has been great in all 5 seaons. It is the end of season 4 and the story of season 5 that I find not so good. I personally do not like David Conrad’s face needs to be replaced by the other guy from time to time due to reincarnation, David should not have been put to death in the first place. Plus the child in season 5, it has turned the show into something else. It is a bad idea to put a child in the family.

I really hope ABC picks up Ghost Whisperer. I love the show and have watched it faithfully since it first aired. It is a wonderful family show. Please someone please pick this show up and make the fans of Ghost Whisperer; fans of ABC! Go ABC!!!!!!
I TOTALLY agree with Dottie! Ghost Whisper is the most entertaining show on T.V. It HAS TO…MUST stay on the air!!! I couldn’t believe they wanted to canceled it! Perhaps move to another time/day…..perhaps too any people were going out on Friday nights. I purposefully changed/declined plans just to stay home on Friday nights to watch Ghost Whisper!!
