    Okay, so it's not high drama . . . what is these days. But it's not a bad show and the bad rap Miss Hewitt carries seems more to petty jealousy than reality. She's not that bad an actress.

    I've seen both shows of this series. But the 2nd one seemed too long...perhaps GW should be a 30-minute show...pacing is too slow...And the show's competitors have too much of a head start...Outcome of this program is a question mark

    Jennifer Love Hewitt is absolutely good in playing Melinda Gordon. She's a great actress and can really act. She's back with us remember she's the original teen/TV Queen trashing Sarah, Katie and other girls on TV. She's definitely great. The show I know will stay there for long.!

    Accept the premise of "Ghost Whisperer" and enjoy it for what it is. It may be too early yet to see if a much deeper central plot develops. A quality production in my book.

    I think everyone is crazy! It's one of my favorites for this season. It's about time we get something alittle different then the typical reality shows. Personally, I'm sick of them!

    I enjoy shows that make you think, make you feel, make you laugh... and shows that surprise you. This show, while some may think the premise is absolutely silly, has heart. It's touching, and completely involves the viewer in the experience. Whether you believe in such "Ghost Whisperers", this show creates a world in which you can experience the "what if" from the perspective of the one experiencing it. I make a point to watch this show every week, and I highly recommend it. Expand

    The only feeling I can equate to this show is when massive cramping sets in before the inevitable rush to the toilet. Shockingly uncomfortable when it first hits, and a much welcomed relief when it ends.

    Ghost Whisperer about the 3 boys who died in a fire, was very good. However, the fact that their dog did not go with them to "pass over," was extremely disappointing. That brave soul should have stayed with his boys. Most pet lovers have a deep belief that their pets will be with them in the hereafter.

    I really like this show as well. It's good spirited fun, and it is nice to have a show that is touching once in a while. This week's episode was good, but I hope it isn't a going trend. I rather have the show about helping people "cross over" than "possession".

    The most banal programme i've seen in this genre.1st episode Just screened in my country. Was looking forward to it,am extremely disapointed.Ghost visits Jen with a message,eventually tells son who throws her out,ends up believing,the end.I was actually glad when it finished.Medium is on another channel at the same time so i'll watch that instead.At least the dead on there aren't boring.For similar mush i'd rather watch touched by an angel Expand

    This show is surprisingly well done. J. Love is a darn good acrtress, and her support is well cast. The writing has been very good. If they can keep on writing good shows, this one's just going to keep going up the charts for a while, I'd guess. It's that good.

Of course it strays from reality, If I want to watch reality I will watch the news, I want o be entertained and Ghost Whsperers does that quite well.

    Overly sentimental, pointless, mawkish, humourless, incredulous. Plotlines get more ridiculous the more the producers realise that theres only limited mileage in talking to dead people who need to find 'closure' to move to the 'other side'. Sub-plots are vacuous.

    It is so obvious to see that Jennifer Love Hewitt and the other lack-luster actors in this show have overwhelmingly attacked this site to enter good comments- or else someone was paid off to sit here all day and enter in good votes. I watched the show for the first time tonight, and there is no contest- the show is absolutely horrendous. Jennifer Love is not attractive, not a good actress, the script is horrible, the music is ridiculous- building up where the scene doesn't even call for it to cause you to have a heart-attack (a cheap trick) and the unbelievable relationship between her and her husband is like they are mockingly copying "Medium" or more like they are in acting school doing an improved scene of kids playing "house". I have never been so insulted by a tv show in my life. The dropping of hints throughout the episode- Jennifer obviously has no idea what the intelligence of the audience is these days. It's truely insulting. I almost expected her to do an "Infomercial" reminding us to stand up to domestic violence during the commercial break. Jennifer, give up now on your producing efforts, you must give really good ****, because this stuff is crap. Look at your competition, honey, we want complicated, interesting and unassuming scipts- and we don't need to rely on your rack or spooky music to be entertained. And if you guys disagree, I pity your taste in a good body (she's a white trash, texas, bland, twink...with a boob job) Expand

    At times during ''Ghost Whisperer," the sentiment is so thick you might want to go away from the light -- the light from the TV set, that is.

    What is special about "Ghost Whisperer" is the way it gets everything else right -- casting, acting, writing, directing, pacing, music, you name it.
  3. 20
    Pretty pointless.
