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?

Ghost Whisper was great for the whole family to watch.So many shows now are too
racy for many people .This season has too many cop shows with too much violence.Now
we either cop shows or racey shows like Cougar Town I’m not happy with network TV.
This is sad! I loved watching ghost whisperer and was sad to see it end on cbs and was hoping it’d be picked back up!!!! I looked forward to watching this show every friday night
it is sad to see gost wisper to go i wish that gost wisper was still going to see what happens to milnder
i thinks this is jacked up here canceling one of the greatest shows ever. if anything they should of canceled the crap shows like law and order that has already gone on forever and is the worst show ever. thats the problem here; they cancel all the good shows and keep the one that should of already gone off the air a long time ago. what is wrong with these people who make these desisions when it comes to what shows stay and which ones go? i think this is so wrong to do this.
Medium should have been canceled instead of the Ghost Whisperer!
I can not believe you cancelled Ghost Whisperer. That was one fantastic show, one I looked forward to watching every week. It does seem that ALL the better shows are taken off and replaced with STUPID shows that have NO substance to them. Heaven only knows what will be next. I would love to see this series picked up by ANY OTHER STATION – ARE YOU OUT THERE? LISTEN UP – GHOST WHISPERER HAS FOLLOWERS – IT IS A GREAT SHOW AND WE WANT IT BACK ON AIR. WHO CARES WHAT CHANNEL – JUST BRING IT BACK, PLEASE!
I Think This is Bull crap They left us hanging in season Five !!!! i Want to know what happens To Aden and Melinda After he saves her !!
I can’t believe some of the crappy shows that ABC has and wouldn’t pick up this one. ABC has no taste and CBS is losing theirs.
Just found out that Ghost Whisper got cancelled. I was waiting for it to come on. Googled and found it was cancelled. Same with Numbers. GOOD TV GONE BAD. Bring it back.
i think it was the worst idea, it was a really good show, as well as without a trace, numbers and many others that have just disappeared….
This is one of the few shows that I looked forward to watching. It is a bad decision to cancel.
I had no idea that Ghost Whisperer had been cancelled until today! I kept waiting for the new season to start, and never heard anything…so I Googled. And I was very disappointed to find out it had been given the boot. It was one of my favorites shows…I couldn’t wait until Friday Night to put on my PJ’s and kick back a watch what ghost Melinda and the gang would encounter. Wish ABC had picked it up.
I really hate when the stations just let go of great television. It happened with Las Vegas and now Ghost Whisperer. I can’t believe that the numbers were down…Sometimes I think that they get rid of shows because they are great!!!!!!!! Sounds rediculous…but what else are we to think??? Why can’t they at least help us have closure on these shows that we know and love and not just do them in willy nilly. DISGUSTED WITH NETWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just found out that GW was canceled today, because my mom and I noticed last Friday it didn’t come on. That really does suck. All the GREAT shows somehow always losses it’s ratings……WITHOUT A TRACE, THE UNIT, NUMBERS, 11 HOUR, COLD CASE, THREE RIVERS, MOONLIGHT………..need I go on. And how in the HELL do they switch the lineup. CSI: Miami on Sundays, get real.
This sucks! i love ghost whisperer! im so disappointed that its canceled it was one of my favorite shows. i wish there was at least one more season ending with a big finale. it was a good show unlike some of the **** theyre showing now. (sighhh) disappointed.
