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?

Ohhh… I Miss this TV Program So MUCH here in Istanbul!!!! How I wish It will have a New Season 6. Pray the management will change their decision.
We did not know the show was cancelled. We are very sad to hear it She was like the girl next store. We are inour 60 d,s and she kind of gave us hope of a world that might be there. The shows where all good and exciting. We are sure Jennifer will do well on what ever she takes on.Good luck Jenny we love YA. Don and Linda.
i am so upset that they cancelled ghost whispers i loved that show. even thugh it had super natural powers in it, it was still a family show that had love,undertanding,,and also values involved on every episode. i am so sad to see it go. i can watch every episode of every season over and over again
I am angry to see that Ghost Whisperer is cancelled……..just like that I no longer have Friday night TV to look forward to. I always got comfortable, after dinner and cleaning up, a long week of work and running my grandaughter to school and other activities,this was what I looked forward to. I’m angry at CBS, and feel that ABC should’ve been smarter than to take a pass on it.
i can’t believe they’re really dropping GW … this is the only series i really followed … it’s not just another ghost story , it kinda gives you an insight on the things that you dont see but feel … i hope another network picks it up
I would have cleared up a few of the open stories. During season five there were several stories left us wanting closer.
I love the Ghost Whisperer!! I have to agree with others in that the producers are making a huge mistake canceling this series! I would love to see another network pick it up, maybe a cable network would have the forsight to see what a great show this is and pick it up! I look forward to this show every season, and am very disappointed that the networks opt to keep low quality shows in favor of a decent show with high morals and low violence. This is one of the very few shows I turn on my television set… Read more »
We are upset how can we get Ghost Whisper to come back on or go to other network it is a wonderful so we enjoy the show.
I am very upset that we won’t see the new season of Ghost Whisper we were looking forward to seeing the new season
I am very disappointed to hear of that Ghost Whisperer has been cancelled. The show was very wholesome even with it’s paranormal origins. It always had a deeper meaning or lesson to teach. Melinda’s charater displayed many traits of the kind and caring person that should be portrayed insted of the blood, guts and crime of today’s tv shows. I looked forward to the new season and faithfuly watched or set up my DVR for this show. It was the kind of quality that rivaled Touched by an Angel and that show had great ratings. I fear that the show… Read more »
I am very disappointed that Ghost whisperer was canceled. I know a lot of people who wathed reruns and were patiently waiting for the new season. I don’t understand why they kept Medium. The quality of a show needs to br looked at. Very few shows are worth watching in the last several years.
I agree, i think they should’ve put some thought into it. before they went cancelled ghost whisperer. im very upset!
I am very sorry to hear Ghost Whisperer has been canceled. I agree with the person who said why didn’t the medium get canceled. It does not and is not better than Ghost Whisperer. You are not checking who watches the reruns, etc.. My husband agrees that the network made a mistake. Why does the quality of a show not matter. Medium just does not come close to the quality of Ghost Whisperer.
