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?

Please, please, please I sincerly hope that these comments are being read. Ghost Whisperer was an amazing show and one can tell. It was one of my favorite shows ever. The plots were always suspensful and exciting. The characters were all extremely relatable on one level or another. Not to mention, it had a important message, and contained context that everyone has felt at one time. I hope that there is some vote to bring it back. I feel the show ended so quickly, some closure would be great.
Im pissed it ended! ABC and CBS are idiots for letting it go. So what if some people stopped watching it. ALOT of people want it back so BRING IT BACK
ghost whisperer can not be canceled I LOVE GHOST WHISPERER
I was sooooo upset and sad that Ghost Whisperer has been canceled. I waited every Friday night for a few weeks to see if it was going to be on. I thought they just were not going to have it on when most of the other new shows began. 🙂 I hope you will change your mind. There is nothing to watch on Friday nights now. Guess I will have to go to cable stations. I hate to have to do that. 🙂
I am so disappointed that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows, especially on Fridays. The concept was great in showing the possibility of the “other side” being helped to cross over, etc. Please bring it back – we need meaningful shows!
It was a shame they had to cancell it. it was well written, entertaning and well perform. Shame on you for cancelling one of the best show on TV !
I can’t believe this has happened! I’m very disappionted in the cancallation of Ghost Whisper. That was what I looked for every Friday. I agree with Tony when Jim passed and you wrote his reincarnation in to the show.. I think that hurt the show some but I still loved it. Go with Tony’s idea about Melinda waking up and his death isn’t true. Bring it back as a mid season replacement, it’s been done before. Remember “Dallas”! My friend and I would get on the phone when the commericals came on and would try and guess what would happen… Read more »
I was and always will be a big fan of the show. No doubt the series lost a little luster with Jim’s death and then reincarnation….could have done well not tohave done that. But having a baby that was automatically of age to go to school….”Jump the Shark’ mean anything to you? Take it all back with a revival of the series having Melinda wake up realizing it was all a dream….Jim never dies, they never had a child…and start back with the terrific shows we were accustom to. Such a great show to leave on the sidelines.
I am terribly disappointed they cancelled the show! This was my favorite show because it was different! They need to bring it back!
That sucks! Its like reading a book and the last few pages are missing. That was one of the only shows I watch. It was a heart warming series and there are not that many left on the air. Its all reality series and drug, murder, mahiem shows.
I love Ghost whisperer and i can not believe that ya cancelled the show, Please bring it back and give us some closure. There are so many questions unanswered, Let the show end right-people will watch. Ghost whisperer waiting
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, Hollywood doesn’t care about the quality of a show. Reality shows are here to stay. Even on Oprah last week, Det. Mark Fuhrman who was involved in the OJ case said that with the camera’s in the courtroom, it was the first reality show. The money people in HW realized that they didn’t have to pay real actors to get a hit show, well you know the rest. He is so right and I am sick and tire or reality and cop shows, we can see the all on… Read more »
I agree. The whole reality tv has taken on a life of it’s own. It’s like the pod peaple, reference to an old movie. Reality tv is taking over and it’s not even real! It’s stupid people or desperate stupid people doing what they can to make a buck. Hey mom look at me I’m on tv! Lmao Fame is not what it is cracked up to be. Just ask the famous. The show Ghost Whisperer has stepped in alot of our back yards. We can relate to the stories even if it isn’t of the supernatural. The show and… Read more »
NOT RIGHT!!! THEY COULD AT LEAST GIVE US SOME CLOSURE. PROBABLY NEEDED THE TIME SLOT FOR ANOTHER STUPID REALITY SHOW.
Terribly disappointed! I am so tired of the “Who done its”? Wish this wasn’t true… 🙁

PERHAPS THEY WANT TO START ANOTHER DETECTIVE SHOW, WHO KILLED WHO, OR WOW, WONDER WHAT AWSOME DETETECTIVE THEY CAN THINK UP TO FILL THIS SPOT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW BECAUSE IT HAD SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE REALITY AND DETECTIVE SHOWS THAT I COULD THROW UP! JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT MADE THAT SHOW WHAT IT WAS. NOW COME ON AND BRING IT BACK. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
