Universal acclaim- based on 238 Ratings

  • Starring: Aisha Tyler, David Conrad, Jennifer Love Hewitt
  • Summary: Not only does Jennifer Love Hewitt see dead people, she talks to them too. It's only a matter of time before they tell her: "You're cancelled." Unless having Hewitt run around in a nightgown is enough to secure decent ratings. (Which, come to think of it, might just do it.)
  • Genre(s): Drama, Fantasy, Suspense

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

    Ghost Whisperer can be surprisingly moving. [24 Oct 2005, p.41]

    Doubtless this kind of death-walking sentimentality has its fans. And most of those fans probably won't even wonder why some of the dead are stuck in the clothes in which they died, while others get to rent tuxedos.
  4. My "Sixth Sense" says "Ghost Whisperer" isn't a very good show at all.

    Because Sometimes This Show Can Be Great, But Other Times It Can Be Flat And Boring (20% Of The Time) Jennifer Love Hewitt Portrays Melinda

  4. A matinée show for children and young adult. Boring, sentimental, predictable. The actors are all mediocre and their characters are very two ddimensional. The stories are all the same. Overall a bad tv series with zero tension, drama, originality. Expand
