A staple of CBS’ Friday night schedule, ratings for Ghost Whisperer have dropped quite a bit over the season. Last week, the network surprised many viewers by cancelling the TV show after five seasons. The blow was softened when it was learned that the series might get a second chance on ABC. The alphabet network has now apparently passed.
Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ghost Whisperer began in September 2005 and ran for 107 episodes. The series’ regular cast has also included David Conrad, Christoph Sanders, Jamie Kennedy, Camryn Manheim, Aisha Tyler, and Jay Mohr.
Things had been looking positive for the series to continue and some outlets actually had even reported that the show had been picked up. Unfortunately, the deal didn’t work out.
We may never know the details but Ghost Whisperer executive producers Kim Moses and Ian Sander issued a statement that said, “After five wonderful seasons and over 100 episodes, we are disappointed to announce Ghost Whisperer will not be returning for a sixth season. We’ve had an incredible experience and owe a debt of gratitude to everyone involved. We continue our relationship with ABC Studios and look forward to developing many more successful projects together in the future.”
While it looks like Heroes and Law & Order will get some closure, there’s been no word on any plans to go back into production and wrap up Ghost Whisperer.
What do you think? Sad to see it go? How would you have ended Melinda’s story?

I just can not believe it me and my family watch this show every friday. why did it have to cancel. Maybe the viewers forgot that the new sason was starting at that time this is just sooooooooooo sad 🙁
This is horrible! How can they just leave the story untold? I am very disappointed!
I kow how you feel i mean come on you could have posted the episodes online instead
I LOVE this show, and I’ve always looked forward to watching it after a long week. This is one of the worst things to do, b/c it will be replaced by some fluffy show trying to be something its not. And what about the story line? What happens to Melinda and the rest of the characters?
This sucks! I looked forward to every Friday night so that I could watch Ghost Whisperer with my friends. Now what am I gonna do? I bet if everyone wrote to CBS or ABC or even NBC they would pick it back up it’s a great show.
Although, it doesn’t really surprise me that Ghost Whisperer got cancelled. I would still like to see some sort of closure for Melinda and the rest of the characters.
This is not right….you have many fans of this show and you don’t care about what we think…l will think twice about watching anything on CBC. ABC you should pick it up and your rating will go through the roof…just saying!!!!
I am so upset that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled so suddenly and not even a season to have it wrapped up. somebody should pick it up and at least do a movie that wraps everything up.
Nooooo, I can’t believe they took off Ghost Whisperer, I have just found this amazing show and now they want to take it away from me; I want to know why they have cancelled such a good show, they have to do a final episode, they can’t leave it without giving us closure, it will be this massive what if, they can’t, it has to be illegal, they need to make a law saying a show can’t be cancelled unless it is fully finished and there are NO unanswered questions. Sorry I’m angry and I get a bit dramatic when… Read more »
OMG!! I just found out that the show I love is CANCELLED!! Why ? I use to look forward to watching TV on Friday night becasue of the show Ghost Whisperer. Leaving us fans hanging is so wrong and you (CBS) could have done a few more episodes and a really great season finale to finish the show off!!! You really need to seriously think about bringing the show back. Friday nights on CBS is going to be so BORING NOW!!!
You can not end the show like this!!! Give us one more season and a “Two part Finale” . That way everyone is happy and you get more money from the DVD boxset!!!!…….
OMG I cannot believe this!!!! REALLY?? The least you could have done was go one more season and give us a true season finale!!! I love this show!!! and to think, Numb3rs isn’t coming back either, the only show left on cbs for me to watch is medium…at least I still have that I guess….
OMG i just found out i would have watched it but i didnt know showings boo i want to know what happens they need to make a movie or something to finish it leaving it hanging is wrong the networks are lame make a movie with a final showdown or whatnot

WTHeck!!! cmon!!! it was one of my daughter and I’s “thing” to watch tha show!!!…i am soooo disappointed!!! all these new shows are gon take a crap!! u watch n see!! and u need to seriously think about bringin bak tha show!!!!
I can’t believe this! I was looking in the new fall lineup and no Ghost Whisperer! I got online and saw that it had been cancelled! This is my favorite show. Don’t do this! What are you replacing it with? Some fluffy, friends type show? Please!
I just found out (late, I know) about this cancellation. Ghost Whisperer is one of the best programs on CBS’s lineup and it’s place on Friday nights with Medium following were a great 1-2 punch. Even with the ratings dropping some, Ghost Whisperer continued to lead in its time slot for Friday evenings. Bring it back or at least give us a concluding movie or something.
