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 the other station puts on ghost whisper it is the best ever please put it back on
I really hope that abc pick this up I love this show please pick it up. This show is one that I have come to watch on fridays it was the only other reason that i watch cbs. As a student you have to find something to that you can look forward to watching on tv with some of these bad shows.
I love the show. There is nothing on Monday nights worth watching,so, ABC pick it up and and air it on Monday night. People will watch!!!!
This is one of my favorites along with my family and friends. We say get rid of the reality shows and bring back Ghost Whisperer. It became a tradition with my family to get together and watch Ghost Whisperer and then Medium. TV has turned to crap, all the reality shows that are so phony I can’t believe there are so many. Give us a break and pick up Ghost Whisperer. There are still humans out there that still like shows without all the yelling and crying and B.S. CBS is stupid for cancelling it. Thank You
I love Ghost Whisperer its kind of weird though because my marriage started in 2005 and is ending in 2010 so i can kinda relate lol anyways! Its a great show that needs to be saved she just got started being a mom and then the cut the show? Now Melenda has more to share and relate with viewers like me they need to bring it back!!! This sucks
Hallo habe jahrelang die Serie verfolgt und abgesehen davon das ich es sehr schade finde, daß die Serie abgesetzt wird finde ich könnten die Macher wenigsten noch ein vernünftges Ende drehen so weiß man doch gar nicht was mit den Schatten und Aiden und Melinda passiert.
Hi I loved this show. It has a lot of meaning to it to alot of people. The way it looks right now cbs will lose in the long run to others that pick up these shows. Rating got all messed up when we has that writers strike and had to watch reruns .
WHY DON’T U GET RID OF SOME OF THESE RIDICULOUS COMEDIES AND STOP CANCELING GOOD SHOWS LIKE GHOST WHISPER, 24, THE UNIT. THESE ARE JUST A FEW. WHY IS IT EVERYTIME A GOOD SHOW COMES ON THE AIR YOU RUIN IT BY CHANGING CAST MEMBERS OR GET RID OF IT ALTOGETHER.
JUST LIKE THE NEW HAWAII FIVE-O. IT WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE THE ORGINAL WITH JACK LORD. HE MADE THAT SHOW. INVEST IN THE NEW GOOD SERIES AND LEAVE THE ONES THAT WON’T TOUCH WHAT THE ORGINAL’S HAD ALONE.
At least bring it back for one more season to give closure to the fans who have stuck with it for the past 5 seasons.
I’m beginning to think “why even bother to watch network tv” they don’t give new shows a chance and then if the do make and have a continuing storyline they cancell the show and leave you wondering what happened???????? After all the time I invest in these programs I would at least like to have a decent ending to the series.
hey very very few shows ever make me cry anymore like ghost and jen is great at it so 2 lose this show is a big mistake but network execs think out of there arse anyway so there not much we can do about it same gos 4 numbers great shows gone
I will forever miss the shows. I always was excited to watch. Also so much touching episodes.
gnost whisperper is an awesome show watch reruns on ion/scifi
I really like ghostwhispers the showwas very goodthere should be agood ending to the showlike there was in charmed.
Please keep it! It’s a great show. It seems like everything I start watching that I like gets cut?
pick up this show please? Its the only one that I watch! while I do work the night shift I record it on my dvr! this is the best show ever and it feels good to see a family show again! You just can’t find these kind on tv anymore! The actors are the best and it has a way to keep us wanting more once we’ve seen our first! And maybe bring it to a weekend night! I love the warmth that it shares with the viewers! It’s an awesome show! please give it the chance it so deserves!!!… Read more »
